Today is the day in Florida. I find this campaign more disturbing every time I turn on the TV. MC Cain has lost all respect with anyone that is still a real conservative.... McCain is dis honest and engaged in trying to provoke Romney who was accused of negative campaigns in Iowa when all he did was show his oponets voting records. If they chose to call that negative campaigning then America what else do you need to see? Romney is the only man running on either ticket that can change America. He has friends and a family that loves and supports him. The media even reported a problem early in the campaign that he was too perferct. Soooooo...here we are...Chuck Norris not appreciating the fact that Romney has put so much of his own money into his campaign and won't owe anyone any favors....McCain making up lies about Romney because he is desperate and Huckabee who has nade snide comments this whole time but claims to be the man from God for the nation.
HAHAHAHAHAH.....I was a Rudy fan but in my heart I know he can not win. I admire him so much and the man he is....but the actions of the Republicans have made me look at things and the men themselves this time around and Romney
could have saved his money ....the other men pushed me moore towards Romney by unchristianlike conduct...Politics is war too...the Democrats are such hypocrites.....they claim to oppose the war in Iraq and then make complete fools of themselves in this campaign...Dirty!!!
America....open your eyes like I did....look at the men and what they stand for and
who is in their corner...Romney can fix this economy...the terrorist have gone after our country from the inside out even through Washington politics. We need a new face in Washington and someone that can fix things that we can trust. Romney is that man. You may not like him...he won't care. He said himself.."He isn't going to Washington to make friends...he is going to fix Washington."
A vote for Romney is a vote for a better future for America.

PS I love you Rudy

Adam Smith, you must be one of the may idiots in America, as well as Moe. Senator McCain is a disgrace to Republicans? Republicans has lost their way, they used to hold morals, a very very long time ago, but wait, Senator McCain holds those morals, and he is hated by the idiots who put personal gain above American safety and prosperity. Moe, you have to be another idiot. You think radical Muslims who are ready to blow up any American they catch in the middle east are going to just go away with no fight. We all see how much of a coward that you are. To call a man that has served in a major war, that was beaten senseless as a POW for 5 years a war monger, you have to be one disrespectful runt. Its people like you that spit on the names or hard working Americans who defend this country in order for you to sleep in the blanket of freedom that you have. Why should it matter if you are a Democrat or Republican? What ever happened to American interest? If you ask me, Democrats have lost their way as much as the Republicans. How about you leave American interest and values to the Americans who care about their country's future and the future the next generations hold. Senator McCain, hands down, is the best canidate and should in fact be our next President.

McCain is a democrat. A vote for McCain is a vote for a double sided democratic ticket...there is no way they can lose!

Romney will mop up McCain as soon as the fight moves West...We in the West can't stand McCain. Romney is the only and best GOP candidate.

As soon as Romney is the nominee, Republicans will rally and he will beat the divisive Clinton and Obama on experience. Romney would have a much tougher time against Edwards.

Edwards is the only democrat that makes any sense. Did you see the debate the other night?

A Romney/Thompson ticket makes perfect sense. Romney has the credentials, the West, and the Northeast, Thompson has the likability and the South.

I guess many of you Obama supporters turn out to be Iraq war supporters after all, despite all the lip service you give to Hillary's "war" vote. You are the people who say you will vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination. Talk about a lack of principles, flip-floping, etc. You people take the cake! McCain has been a rubber stamp for the current disaster-in-charge in most areas, including the war. So you will either vote for someone to the left of Hillary, or you will vote for another right-wing neo-con that will CONTINUE the policies that have messed up the country, the economy? You people need to check what's in your water.

Back in the 2000 election I would have considered voting for McCain because even though I normally go Democrat, I was not really then impressed with Gore and John then was the anti- Bush. Now that he and GW have "kissed and made-up" to me he's just another war monger Republican and if we put him in office it's no telling when our troops will come home. Sorry Johnny, you lost me when you threw your support behind George Bush's war.

I think it would be great if McCain and Obama teamed up. If they ran against Hilary or Huckabee or any other feasible candidate they would destroy them. It would also tear down the walls of the democratic and republican parties. George Washington warned us against the damage of forming political parties, why haven't we listened?

By: Rose

Rose — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:06:01 +0000

I think McCain is jumping in front of a Semi with his statements about being the Democrats worst nightmare. I think McCain is the Republicans worst nightmare. We all admire his service to our country, but this is not an election ANY republican to win. Being pro war and advocating keeping troops in Iraq for ten years or one hundred years is at odds with the American people.
He has also said he would be happy to debate Hillary for wanting in his words "surrender". Perhaps McCain might have missed some facts. All the Democrat candidates want to withdraw our troops. Hillary has the safest approach keeping mindful of civilians we have there as well. Sorry John, you are not listening to the people.
As for your friend Joe Lieberman, he is a disappointment to the people of Connecticut. I live here and have heard people call him a traitor.

McCain is THE Democrats' worst nightmare only because he's not A Democrat's worst nightmare. Like Bush 1 or Eisenhower, although we don't like him, we can live with him. He's not a looney like Huckabee or Guiliani (different crazinesses, of course) or panderer like Romney or - you get the idea. McCain's a bit nutty in thinking that you can stop terrorism by going to war, but at least he understands how to prosecute a war with success and without abandoning ethics. After Bush, I'd vote for a blue rat before I'd vote for a Republican, but at least if the next president is McCain I won't redouble my efforts to flee the country.

I think many are missing the point.
In truth, McCain is the Democratic PARTY's worst nightmare because he appeals to independents and right-leaning Dems. He more than any of the Republican front-runners could siphon away votes from the Democratic candidate.

McCain should withdraw from the race because he is a disgrace to the Republican party. Ted Kenndey and McCain tried to shove a terrible amnesty bill down our throats that would have only encouraged more illegal immigartion and more hiring of illegals, of course thats what McCain wants because he only cares about looking out for business interests just like George Bush.

What just desserts!

The only hope is for americans to be smarter than the Clintons think they are, see through their dirty tricks, and get Obama the nomination.

But, if Billary does get the nod, I'll vote for McCain (or anyone else running against her).

The democrats do not fear McCain, they fear Rmoney. By saying McCain's name they are planting the idea of him being the running mate and getting people to vote for him. It is the same tactic that the Republicans used 4 years ago against John Edwards. They feared him so they pumped up John Kerry and they look what happened with that. If Romney runs against Hillary, the democrats are worried and against Obama that would just be good politics in America.

I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD TELL HIM, THAT MR. McCAIN IS IN FACT HIS OWN PARTY 'S "NIGHTMARE" hahahahaha. IF NOT SURE THEN HE SHOULD ASK THAT QUESTION TO "Rush Limbaugh" hahahaha

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A PARTY IN DISMAY, LOOKING FOR A LEADER WHICH HAS NOT BEEN BORN YET TO HELP THEM KEEP THEIR HEADS ABOVE WATER BEFORE DRAWING. SOME REPUBLICANS ARE EVEN TRYING TO RESURRECT RONALD REAGAN HOW PATHETIC CAN THEY BE?.

The ONLY thing we have to fear is 4 more years of incompetent right wing politics.. the kind of politics Mccain supports.
I have no fear that Obama or Clinton will be able to show american citizens that the only thing that will change if Mccain takes office is the name of the president.

CNN loves McCain. Of the Republican candidates, CNN only gives McCain coverage these days. Too bad the Republican delegates disagree; they didn't vote for McCain last time because he was too liberal, and guess what, he still is. Fox got it right, the Republicans will 'hold their nose' and vote Romney, despite CNN's (and the other liberal members of the press) unwillingness to give Romney any equal coverage in the press.

Well ..... he is absolutely correct. I am p[lanning to vote for Obama. But I am like millions of other Independents....if it is Hiillary versus McCain, it is McCain in a NY second. None of usd agree with 100% of any of the candidates. But he has 20X more integrity than her. He wants to stop ear marks, lobbyists money, & special interest money. On the other hand, she says it is bad while accepting millilns and owing even more favors. Obama versus McCain would at least provide a choice that guarantees integrity.

No Mr. McCain, whoever you chose to be your VP, if you get the nomination, is the GOP's worst nightmare! Let's face it. McCain is too old and ill to be running for president. If he doesn't win the nomination, I can see him retiring from the Senate in 2011.

Senator McCain is America's greatest hope. If I were a candidate running against him, I would be very afraid as well. Jim, his age is not a question, he is the only candidate that has a shot at leading this country in the right direction. This is a man of honor, courage, and commitment. He is a man that puts American interest first, not personal gain. THE MAC IS BACK!!!!!

Why you should vote for Hillary..?

Barack is a very nice guy... good ideas and good public speaker. But we cannot afford another lost agianst the republican. we need someone who can be a solid candidate against Mccain. You might not like her personality or Bill Clinton. The issue here is well beyong that.Please people .. let's think ... let's remember Al Gore or Kerry... the question is do you want to add Obama on that list.I truly believe a Clinton /obama ticket will be hard to beat.Let's vote with our head not with our HEART.

As a follow up to my comment a few minutes ago:

A ticket McCain / Lieberman will offer:

- Attraction for the Republicans (except the 25% reight), independent and the
moderates Dems (for the same reasons Lieberman became independent)
- Will have a large base in the Congress (lets call it the Reagan-coalition)
- Will allow a painless transition from McCain to Lieberman if the first will not be
able to seek a 2nd term (or before)
- and a large pool of experience and moderation
- and if a Afro-American or a Woman is acceptable for President, why not a Jew ?

And as for the 25% Republican right ?? for whom they will vote ?? Hillary ? Obama ??. There will be no room for an independent as Bloomberg with a
moderate republican Ticket ann anyway, he would not be either acceptable fpr
the right !

As I commented before, a ticket McCain Bloomberg would be equally attractive,
but I doubt that the latter would accept a second-level position! But who knows!

By the way: the US electoral system favors the "professional politicians" in
both parties, i.e. the Left at the Dems and the Right at the Republicans, which
achieve the nomination of candidates they like but are not so by the voters in
the election.

Take the example of the Labor party in Britain: as long they catered to the left
wing, a clear minority but very effective polically, the Conservatives had a free run.
As soon Blair told them to scram, Labor sweeped the Conservatives.
If the Dems had followed this example, Joe Lieberman would stiill be there and
neither Hillary nor Obama would be candidates for nomination.

But what will happen if Bush continues to improve in the Polls and the Iraq war
begin to see an end without a surrender as irresponsibly is promoted by the Dems ??
8 years more of Republicans, as they nearly only weapon will collapse !!

He's not only the Democrats worse nightmare but the entire countries worse nightmare, actually make that the world's worse nightmare. That's all we need - another "War Monger". He really is too old to be leading our country that's already on a downhill Republican slide. Loraine it appears that you are from a dsyfunctional family having witnessed too many Christmas dinners.
