Did you know that Ron Paul has gotten more military donations from active and retired vets than any other candidate, republican or democrat? Could this be because he is the only republican who is against the Unconstitutional Iraq war, he is the only candidate Dem. or Rep. that voted against invading Iraq while in Congress, and spoke out against the danger of funding an unconstitutional war that we cannot afford. He is against the idea that we have to expand our empire and police the world. He has promised to end the fiat money system and to put us back on the Gold Standard. he is an expert in economics. He knows what causes the "bubbles" and how to stop them Forever, He is also a constitutionalist and and old school Republican. Not like todays fake Republicans like McCain, who are pro-open boarders, pro Big Brother and Big Governemt, Pro-war and as corrupt as all hell. Please take a sincere look at Ron Paul's history before making your decision. If you care about Freedom and Liberty please vote 4 Paul.

Well, now he can count on Independents to vote for him too.

There are reports that Florida Primary workers are allowing (and are being specifically told to allow) Independents to vote Republican in today's Primary. McCain will stoop to any level. Sad.

I am a Retired Army Officer with 20 years service, and a Vietnam Combat Vet. I am a Libertarian, who votes Conservative, and lean toward Republican values and political votes……..I like John McCain , in general, because of his Honorable Past Service and his Sacrifices as a POW. He is a fellow Veteran, and a good one……But, However…..I do not like what Ive seen and heard about John"s personal temper, his attitude for his Party, and his combative "Know It All" argumentive attacks and insults to his comrads in Congress. He appears to be a man who is hard to communicate with on important issues, and is not a concensus builder or cooperator. He leans for Liberal issues and ignores his Party's values and philosophies on too many Important Issues and has turned his back on the Conservative agenda. He is just too cozy with Liberal cohorts in Government.

Mr McCain is not the right choice for the Presidency, just because he put a lot of time in Government Service, is a Washington Insider, and displays an attitude that it is his Due……Its time for the Old Soldier to step aside now, relax in his Golden Years, take pride in his accomplishments, and support the only True Conservative still in the Race….Its Time for Mitt Romney.

I am a vet living in Florida and my vote is for Ron Paul.

NO McCAIN!! A DEMO IN REAL LIFE-VOTE ROMNEY!!
A TRUE LEADER!!!!

I am a former Marine from WWII and John Keeting Five McCain is the last person I would ever vote for. His only real entitlement to the hero title is being the son of admiral McCain.

After reading these post, maybe I shouldn't be so afraid that McCain will be nominated. cause I was Scared he would.

Isn't he awesome?

Great post, Mr. Grant.

McCain a "NAM" P.O.W. resident of the Hanoi Hilton for 51/2 yrs. Gave UP FLAG and Colors in Lieu of his Skin. A Hero? Hiho Sir, that qualifies You to be President? No wonder Rupert backed G.W. Now there a real Hero; Hit the Trail and Run! Daddy Bush, did I Do Good?

interesting, my comments dont work anymore. wonder why ?

Duh (regarding the headline)

Anonymous,
Sure wish that the Army would have granted me a waiver on my hearing, see, I am deaf.
AND, I support many military on a volunteer basis regularly, what do you do?

Insane McCain your living in the past, time to step aside and retire. No i wouldn't vote for him, I'm retired from the military, we need someone that will help this country, not continue fighting all over the place.
Go Romney!

Why don't you just ask the people who know McAmnesty best what they think of him? Ask the people in his own state! We'd love to replace him, but nobody will run against him because he's very vindictive.

McCain Voted "MOST UNACCEPTABLE"-By His Own County-"The Maricopa County Republican Party met today and elected Tom Husband as the new chairman of the county party. Congratulations Mr. Husband!

The county also gave an indication of who the party faithful is supporting as the Republican nominee.

Take that to the bank!

You folks that only want to vote for a "real" Republican are dreaming, John McCain is the only Republican that beat Hillary or Obama. Romney, he has taken so many different stands on the issues and continues to do that, that no one knows where he stands. The Democrats will cream Romney or Huckabee.

Pander-pander-pander. I wonder how these vets who have given so much for our country feel about McCain giving away the country to 20 million illegals? So much for their sacrifices. I would hope that they would be smarter than that.

Conservative Joe,

Did you by any chance wave flip-flops during the 2004 Republican Convetion?
I bet you did.

We do not need a war hawk in the White House! We need someone to get us out of the policing business around the world!

McCain will bring the same old crap and will not win the general election and that is why the Dems are suggesting McCain should win!

Ron Paul is the only man for the job. You would not know it unless you go to his website because the media has a tendency to ignore anyone who would cut off their government funds!

John, You are a Donkey in Elephant clothing. As a vet, you won't get my vote. My dad wanted to vote for you last time around and ended up voting for Bill. Lets get real vets…this guy is a liberal only microscopically to the right of Hillary.

Dear Jimbo, That would be the opinion of a man who stays at home while his wife is doing the fighting!

Are all these people hearing the vets and soldiers and marines and what they are saying?? They want out of Iraq! McCain and all the Republicans will keep us there 100 years and put us smack dab in the middle of Tehran! Remeber McCains bomb bomb Iran song? My son is a Marine and he would never vote for a Republican. Bush has lied, spent all our money and cut VA benifits. It's crazy to vote Republican. Even Pat Buchanan a well known conservative called McCain "Bush on Steroids". Romney is a CEO. He might create jobs but at what price? $5.00 an hour and no benifits. Romney is a Rich get Richer kinda guy. Wake up America. None of the Republicans can get us out of the mess the Republicans got us in. You can't fix the problem with the same mind that created it!!

As much as I hope that Ron Paul wins Florida, that probably won't happen. However, I would like to see Rudy Giuliani get last place in Florida, or at best third. When Mayor 9-11 fails to win Florida, his last (and only) resort, they will see him for the hack that he is, and he could drop out of the race, saving so much of his precious time.

I really hope that Ron Paul wins, but failing that, I hope McCain wins so that Giuliani doesn't and neither does Mitt. McCain needs this win more than Romney, and the juggernaut that is Mitt needs to be countered. The best hope for Ron Paul at the present moment is to use the "tortoise strategy" and thus it is important that there is no frontrunner.

Here is a prediction that is both realistic and acceptable: (1) McCain, (2) Romney, (3) Huckabee, (4) Paul, (5) 9iu11iani. I can't wait until Giuliani taps out!

I hope all this lopsided coverage from CNN for McCain backfires. It gives us a chance to bitterly oppose him publicly. Meanwhile, Mitt and the other candidates can quietly work on influencing the voters and helping them to see the "real deal".

No matter how bad you want McCain, the republicans will pick their own candidate, thank you!

Being a war veteran and being liked by Kennedy and Feingold in congress is not enough for McCain to win against the Clintons or Obama/Oprah.

Mitt is looking very strong as the undecided get to know him and the field is down to three. The Huckster will be out after Florida so why waste a vote.

As a veteran of OIF and Desert Shield/Desert Storm, I could never cast my vote for McCain. He might be a decent human being, but his plan for continuing Bush's foreign policy makes him an unacceptable choice for POTUS.

Mccain is a nice man . a gentleman.

Remember the war hero Bob Dole, Purple Heart WWII vet back in 1996?
The Dems and the media loved Dole in congress just like the dems like McCain in congress. However being liked by Kennedy and Feingold in congress and a war vet win not win against the Clintons or Obama/Oprah.

Romney is a moderate conservative across the board. He is smart on the economy, opposes amnesty, is pro-family, and is intelligent enough to handle the war and not quickly leave after we have won.

A vote for McCain or the Huckster is a vote for the Democrats and economic & international failure the next four years.

McCain wants to position us to be in Iraq for "over 100 years", he has repeatedly been one of the only conservatives to vote against tax cuts and wrote the amnesty bill with Ted Kennedy. No thanks.

Too bad for McCain that registered Democrats and Independents can't vote for him in the Florida election like they did in all the others.

Romney will win Florida. Mark my words.

If you are a vet, why would you support any Republican, not only that they want war war and more war, they cut veterans benefits in any way they can.

…and for you Reagan conservatives, he started it by cutting benefits to the VA hospitals who took care of the Vietnam vets.

Hope you are proud of yourselves conservatives, I'm sure there are seats reserved for all'yall's down below.

and btw if you don't do your research you are an idiot, because CNN is for the most part only following what they consider the top 3 candidates in each party. I rarely see anything about Rudy, Ron Paul, or any of the others in either parties mentioned here.

sorry John, you won't get mine with those policies of yours. glad you're a vet, too, and former pow, but your stance on immigration and war mongering sealed the deal (not to mention your double talk on it).

Oh boy…more of his one-trick dog and pony show.

Again, thank you for your Vietnam service but that alone does not qualify you to be the President.

Wake up Republicans - remember where Bob Dole got us? "Paying back" a veteran got us eight years of Clintons while setting the stage for another eight. Please, please, please we don't want to go through that again.

If obama gets the nod i as well as most of our familys will vote across party lines and vote for mcain and we yhe men are all except 1 veterens.

I'm a vet in Miami - McCain is NOT getting my vote. He's "bucked" real Republicans TOO many times (McCain-Fiengold & McCain-Kennedy are prime examples) and his comments about staying in the Iraq war for "100 years" are completely unacceptable! I served in the 82nd Abn division - although I firmly believe in a strong defense and going to war when we have to, I think that the invasion and continued occupation of Iraq was/is a huge mistake! We are spending too much money and too many good soldiers are getting maimed and killed for a nation-building exercise that has NOTHING to do with the attacks of 9/11.

I am an Iraq War veteran and I will NEVER vote for John Mc Cain!

I have been there. I patrolled the streets of Baghdad. There is nothing left for us soldiers to do. We have done all we can. The Iraqis need to fix their own problems and the soldeirs need to come home.

- John Mc Cain is wrong to continue Bush's failed policy on Iraq. It makes me sick how ignorant and arrogant he is on this issue.

Edwards - candidate for all!

Nice man (most of the time), but WAY too old and not sharp enough for the job.

Well Johnny,
My wife is currently deployed to the desert.. She's a Vet of the PG1 and on her second tour for PG2. Romney has our Votes! Hands Down!

Yes you are a POW war hero, and I thank you VERY MUCH for your service, but your services are not needed as President.
