Nevermind, forget I said that. The Rush leading closed minded Neo-Cons hijacked the party and country. They will never get my vote again until their hatred is gone.

I don't think he was that great of a President, see Iran Contra and in his last few years Nancy was running a lot of things because he was detoriating mentally. It just kills me that conservatives put everything in Reagan terms. Remember if Bush was running in 2008 he would not be considered a Reagan Conservative. Even Bill Bennett said Reagan wasn't Reagan into well into his first term. All-in-all, Conservatives are isolating themselves because the majority of the country either doesn't remember Reagan or does not think he was this huge Icon that Conservatives think he was.

McCain was at the same meeting yesterday falling all over the lunatic fringe of the right wing claiming he's as looney as they are. They just want him to make a few more promises before they'll support him......what essentially amounts to wanting him to run for Bush's third term. He tumbleld and bought in and will do the bidding for these loonies...meaning we get more of the same counter-intuitive policies and incompetent management. The loud sound you heard yesterday was the rest of the wheels coming off the "straight talk express". Now McCain will have the opportunity to come to the rest of us......maybe 85% of the voters and tell that he was only kidding when he made those commitments to the right wing loonies. That he's really a "moderate" and didn't really mean it. So....who is the real McCain? This should certainly arouse the support of independents....who despise the right wing agenda and continued occupation in Iraq. Bush will now has the chance to lend his considerable popularity to this cause. Remember, this is the same Bush who crucified McCain 2000 by having his surrogates accuse McCain of being mentally unstable. I predict a drubbing on the scale of the Goldwater shellacing of 1964.

His so called "conservative" leadership has been an utter disaster and there is very little chance that historians can make an 8 year car wreck look good without appearing utterly delusional.

I suppose it's nice for him to have a small group that support his maniacal policies so he does have someone to give a speech to. The sight of this man make me want to hurl. And lets not even go to his command of the English Language. This man is so out of touch with reality it's scary.

The Democrats promised to bring them home in '06 and look where that got us. Just as the Republicans blocked any bill with a timetable, the Dem's could have blocked any more funding for the war. The point isn't to blame either party but to point out the fact that there is a candidate out there who says point blank that he will bring our troops home. I'm all for protecting ourselves, but not at the expense of hundreds of thousands of other people. Personally I think that by having our troops home we would be able to come up with a proactive approach to security rather than a reactive one.

Just as in the last debate, CNN portrays itself as the liberal King-maker. To suggest the Bush has signaled to McCain --- is itself to make a signal that McCain will only bring more of the same as Bush. And that's not what the Republicans really want to bring in November.

He has never lead the country as a whole. Mr. Bush is the first president in my life time who is not a national leader in the traditional sense. His administration has accomplished very little other than posturing and the disastrous war in Iraq. January 2008 cannot come soon enough.
