He gives me the impression that he is "in it" for himself and his interests rather than our country. I have a son in the armed services and I trust McCain with his future because he has been one of them. He knows the horror of war, but he also knows that these men and women are proud of what they do for our country, and want to come home, when they finish their job, with pride, honor, and dignity. This has been told to me by the soldiers that VOLUNTEER to protect us here and abroad.

How else can you explain ignoring the other states. We are a whole country not just one state. I don't agree with Romney either. He flip flops. One day it is one thing, the next day it is something else. Tax Cuts with gigantic spending is not good for our country. McCain is correct there. Romney says what everyone wants to hear. If he was so concerned about his native state's unemployment, why didn't he bring his VAST empire to help them out to make new jobs and hire some of his kinsmen? (Instead he is spending it on his campaign). His concern is so fake. Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, he is another nut!!! It still baffles me how he lends his name to a paper yet knows not its content. Give me a break. I read the things that have my name on them. Huckabee, oh I definately don't want someone that is so self righteous as that man. He would probably baptise Bin Laden and forgive all his sins! I am definately going to vote for the person that tells me the truth, even if it stings. I'd rather have honesty and know what was ahead then a smiling, steal my purse, guy that says what he thinks I wanna hear. Go McCain.... He is totally honest and genuine.

His campaign strategy is going to earn him a spot on the next episode of "What The Heck Were You Thinking." After he loses Florida he will need to step aside. McCain is too old and way too liberal. Huckabee is a joke and can't survive outside the bible-belt. He needs to save it for the pulpit. It is time we actually declare the guy with the most wins, most total votes, most money raised, and most delegates as the frontrunner. Go Mitt!!!

Due to what I now call the “Fred Thompson chicken block” on Huckabee, Thompson allowed McCain to win S.C. with an otherwise 2nd place vote count. McCain’s win placed Huckabee supporters with greater national responsibility than before to also correct the Fred Thompson “Vote Block” mayhem of South Carolina and go forward to win Florida. Now that the GOP has started eating their own for sport and the most electable candidates are defending themselves from the “no plan” “no accomplishment” competitors the last one standing may be the weakest GOP candidates. Remember, Bob Dole and George H. Bush got hamburger because the young voters would not or can not associate with them and the same goes for McCain, not to mention the other bones in his closet. That means the democrats will win! Not only does Huckabee need your strong support now, America needs your support of Huckabee more than ever!

Each time we have done that we have ended up with a lousy economy and larger debt, and arguably not much real net gain in jobs. People of a Republican mindset seem to be so enamored of the concept of "tax cuts", that they don't notice that decreasing the revenue stream most often does not increase profit. I know the idea is that if taxes are cut for corporations and rich people, they will reinvest it and create a better economy for everyone. Has no one paid attention to the studies that show that tax cuts do not recover the revenue that is lost? I have seen reports that say the recovery is anywhere from 12% to 50%. How can anyone think that if you reduce the revenue 100% and recover 50% of that you are ending up with more money? I hear many Republicans saying that cutting taxes has helped the economy, but no matter how many times I hear it, I still don't see that it is actually true. Not in my life or the life of anyone I know. (However I don't know many of the extremely wealthy. They seem to think it works for them.) We need to face it as a country that it takes money to run a country this size and taxes are the means of acquiring that money. Having high taxes on the lower income people, and low taxes on the higher income people, does not seem to be the most equitable and efficient way to generate the needed revenue.

The Republicans in the state had to choose between Lieberman or Lamont because there are far more Dems in the state and they knew Lieberman is basically a conservative in liberal's clothing, so they voted for him. Shows how ignorant those of us not from the North can often be. To "Mike VE", Mitt Romney is like the John Kerry of the Republicans. He changes his position to reflect whatever he thinks the voters want to hear. He certainly wasn't this conservative as the governor of one of the most liberal states in the country. And most of your assertions about McCain, Clinton and Obama are wholly wrong and ignorant. Expecting illegal aliens to pay a fine by definition is a penalty for their crime and thus not amnesty. It's ridiculous to think that we could afford or orchestrate an effort to round up all illegal aliens and deport them or jail them or whatever stupid thing some Republicans want to do. McCain is a true fiscal conservative and voted against Bush's tax cuts because he wants to reduce spending as well. Obama and Clinton want to make tax cuts permanent for the middle class and remove the tax cuts for those making over $250,000 dollars a year, which is a very small percentage of the country made up of those who can actually afford it. Clinton and Obama weren't even in Congress in the 80's and 90's thus couldn't have "stood by while al-qaeda attacked our interests" and McCain had just recently been elected. Seems likely to me that McCain, being a veteran and a p.o.w., would know more about supporting the troops and protecting the country than some spoon-fed, yuppy bussinessman. Also, did you know that we basically created the Taliban because we trained and funded them to fight the Soviets. Most likely you didn't seeing as your views on Romney were pretty ignorant. The one Republican who probably does know that is Ron Paul because he understands the theory of blowback, and all the other conservatives are afraid of him. Even still, people like Paul are too radical to get elected. And people like Romney who claim that they should be elected because they haven't been corrupted by the Washington system is humorous to me. They're not going to change how things work in Washington, so it's better to have someone who understands how to get things done within the system, regardless of how broken it is, and someone who can garner support from across the aisle and unify the country.

He claims how he is responsible for the economic upturn in NYC while he was mayor as if the national economy, and Wall Street boom had nothing to do with it. NYC's economic growth under Guiliani was substantial but was driven by forces that had little to do with him. Did he clean up the city? Yes. Did he reduce crime? Yes. Did he engage in racial politics? Yes. But it's a fairy tale, to quote Bill Clinton, to credit Guiliani with the economic resurgence of NYC. When NY was broke and asking the government, and the Daily News ran that famous headline, Gerald Ford was President. The Dow Jones Industrial Average did not grow AT ALL from 1962 when it hit a high of 995 until after Reagan was President for a year or so. That is 20 years of little growth on Wall Street and lots of bear markets. Since then, the market has steadily gone up, with a few corrections along the way, and NY, more than any other locality in the United States, has benefited from that, and RUDY GUILIAN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AT ALL. Good or bad, his term as mayor was marked by the continuing middle exit from NY. It has been said for a long time that NYC is a city of the very rich and the very poor with little in between. That is even more true today. Rudy was a successful mayor because he was mayor when Bill Clinton was President. Remember in 1994, he backed Mario Cuomo, not George Petacki for governor. Rudy is a big blowhard. Just how did handle 911 so well? Give me a break! Why is it that Wolf Blitzer and others don't seriously question Rudy Guiliani? He claims how he is responsible for the economic upturn in NYC while he was mayor as if the national economy, and Wall Street boom had nothing to do with it. NYC's economic growth under Guiliani was substantial but was driven by forces that had little to do with him. Did he clean up the city? Yes. Did he reduce crime? Yes. Did he engage in racial politics? Yes. But it's a fairy tale, to quote Bill Clinton, to credit Guiliani with the economic resurgence of NYC. When NY was broke and asking the government, and the Daily News ran that famous headline, Gerald Ford was President.

Given that, Giuliani (quite hypothetically, at this point) would avoid all the issues that he was weak in handling, and instead stick only with the ones he thought he might actually deal with successfully. Now ask yourself what your personal life would be like if you tried to live that way.

No one else in the race has done anything that can come close to what he's done. All of these nay sayers are on the bandwagon with the media. Anyone ever play risk or wargames? Strategy. This is the most unconventional election ever, and it is a good strategy, with risk. I like a candidate who will think outside the box while all of the brainwashed public play Monday Quarterback and complain about a strategy. Get a clue everyone! We need a president who will go to bat for the people, and take some risks like JFK & RWW & MLK did. RUDY'S FITNA B N THE HOUSE, THE WHITE HOUSE, YEAUGH!
