http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080327/D8VM2AI00.html Am I getting my hopes up? Probably. I don't think Juan Pablo is wise enough to do the right thing, but I am hoping he will. If he adds Mitt that means I can vote for them and I do not have to vote for a candidate(Barack) who is going to raise my taxes by $2,000.00 per year by not making the Bush tax cuts permanent. If McCain can't make a more consevative ticket I would just rather block his old behind. Sorry dude. Thats the way it is.

So to punish McCain for winning a legitimate race, you'd vote for someone even more liberal then McCain and will do the exact things that bother you about McCain but even worse. Because that makes rational sense. :rolleyes: I doubt Mitt will be Veep; he adds nothing to the ticket. He may however be hopping for a cabinet position or something along those lines. What I don’t understand about Mitt is that so many people saw him as the conservative choice when he him self is quite a liberal republican. |

Jag ... Didn't Congress vote to end the Bush tax cuts in the last week or two already? They are supposed to end in 2010 as I recall. Dandandat .... Romney could help McCain on the economy. McCain has been pretty open about that being his weak area. |

As I understand it they are set to expire already. The Dems both said they will let that happen. McCain has said he would make the Bush tax cuts permanent.
Or did he say he would ""fight"" to make them permanent....
?DaunteDat: Romney brings economic and consevative strength to the ticket. You can say what you want about his record and criticize him but I do not see it the way you do. I believe Mitt's conservative convictions. McCain is the Appeaser. The Maverick. I may be down the middle on some issue but that does not mean I want the same wishy washy policies from my candidate. I do not want McCain to be a Republican version of John Kerry. I want a conservative I can believe in and a Liberal who I can listen to and then I want to choose who I believe will be the right person. Thats why I keep banging on McCain. Every time he says: "My friends..." That sounds like "Mes Amigos..." From McCain the border state appeaser. HE is a big part of the government that has not solved this ShT at the border. Then he tries to sneak that crap bill under our noses.I am at a point in my life when my convictions are taking shape and I thought I was growing from a Liberal to a Conservative generally speaking. What I have found is that Democrat and Republican groups can't even hold to their own party platform. Dan if you don't get it I don't know what to tell you but yes I would rather vote against the candidate I am least pleased with than vote for my "party's" nominiee. We are about to go through very tough times. Lets give Barack a shot with the all Dem Majority Congress. What do you think he could do in four years? I don't know. What could McCain do in 4 years? Here is my list: 1: Stay the course in Iraq = result exactly where we are today in 2008 in 4 years no better no worse. 2: McCain out, VEEP running for the nomination. 3:Gas at 4.50 per gallon despite the claims of some that we went to war for oil. 4. Better stop at 3 before I snap. |

As a Canadian, I'm really enjoying watching the ideas and attitudes toward what has now become the "three" distinct candidates. I think Romney has created some decent credibility for himself (what, no scandals involving racism or sex ?????? my, my) and I guess that many traditional conservative voters would consider that Romney could help balance out McCain's "liberalism" with his sound conservative prinicipals. On the other hand, I like a McCain/Obama matchup for the election; since both candidates are quite popular among Americans, at least that is my observation. It would likely be an extremely gentlemanly and classy contest. If the Hillary Machine and it's Darth Vadar death star apparatus does take the White House, it's going to be cruel, man. I may leave N.America and go live in STC's basement. Remember, that Barack realizes that if he becomes president, he will not only have the responsibility of being president, but the heavy weight of being a black president, and will likely take a very bi-partisan and measured approach. There's no way the guy's going to get all "radical" or anything; in fact, he has based his credibilty on the theme of bringing "unity" to America and it's politics. To me, Obama versus McCain is a bit of a win-win situation. I realize others may think otherwise.... |

First where did I criticize Romney, I rather liked him. But I did state a fact that as a republican he was on the liberal side not the conservtive. I simply find it odd that since running against McCain he is thought of as more conservitive then he realy is. The party eather realy is moving to the center or people are seeing what they want to see. Turthfuly I hope its the former because then it means there is a party I can buy into more. Also if its the former then McCain realy doesnt have a problem in being to liberal.
What I find funny is how you simple say "I don't know." when contemplating what Obama and a Dem congress can do in 4 to 8 years. Yet get up set at some of the weakest down points about McCain. What will Obama and a Dem Congress do? They want to increase your taxes so that you start paying for other peoples medical care and more social programs They will to cut the militery. They will be softer on imigration then the evil Juan McCain. Gas? I dont know how a president effects gas prices but since that happens in your world, Obama will be softer there too. He will sid with the enviromentlists that keep out nuclear power, new refineres and new drilling. The war? Obama will do what Clinton would do and what Romney would do and McCain would do, and what Bush would do. If you think there is going to be radical change in Iraqi depending on who the next president may be, your fooling your self. The die has been cast there and very little will be changed. Now to your points. 1) Nothing is going to change in Iraqi no matter who is president 2) When McCain is out and his Veep runs for president, that man will be more conservtive then McCain. How is that not a good thing? 3) Presidents have little sway over such matters. Best they can do is ask OPC to lower prices and we see how effective that has been. If this is whats getting you upset I would sugest changing to decaf. Now for you voting against the candidate you are least pleased with, that I can totaly understand and it makes alot of sence. What I dont understand is this side step you take when contemplating what Obama could do, want's to do, when he becomes president, And if you realy do hold conservtive values how they don't jive with Obama. It would seem to me that conservtives are going to be more displeased with 4-8 years of Obama then they are of McCain now. For example, yes McCain has been soft on the border. I understand why you dislike that. But dont you know that as soft as McCain is on the border Obama is going to be much softer. So logicly I dont understand why its such a sticking point for people.
I do agree with you on this, the problem is that the leaders of the parties dont care about their platfroms, they only care about power. This is a big reason I don't like the party system we have. However Romney was also far from his party platform on many issues during his political life. So I still dont understand why his suporters look the other way with him but not McCain. |

Franko I have not yet perused the next post by Dan, I'll get to that. One thing I will say that I can correctly speak to is that McCain is in fact NOT popular. With no one is he popular.Again Franko let me be clear, McCain is popular with nobody. Before all you assault droids descent on me look up the word popular. This McCain is the same A hole who runs for President every 4 years since I can remember. NOT a winner and NOT popular. I know that supporters of Romney, Gulianni, Fred Thompson (he is that one dude), Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee NONE of wich voted for JUAN PABLO McCain in the primaries who else might there be..... hmmmmmmmm McCain supporters who just keep wanting their.......man..........after decades........ Conservatives nor Republicans nominated McCain. Look at Florida. He came out of that S Hole of a state the winner. It was after that when Mitt hauled ass. Dems voted for McCain Me saysSay I am wrong and it aint so

Now to your points. 1) Nothing is going to change in Iraqi no matter who is president 2) When McCain is out and his Veep runs for president, that man will be more conservtive then McCain. How is that not a good thing? 3) Presidents have little sway over such matters. Best they can do is ask OPC to lower prices and we see how effective that has been.

For response I will do my best at sistertrek TiT for Tat wich is not my Forte but I will try to be honest. Point 1: I agree, not much can or will change in Iraq whomever is Pres BUT it is the Attitude my young Padawan. where does that general attitude, disposition and ultimately that man take us years later? Point 2: Completely agree. It is a good thing thus-ly and stuff why Romney makes the ticket Palletable for me. Point 3: I know that Presidents can't change OPEC or price per barrell of OIL. This is my Jab at Assholes I know personally who believe it or not still think it was a war for Oil. Its a Lazy Fat tongue in an uneducated cheek for me. All I do is the best I can.I get on this board and confuse alot of you and embarrass myself but the whole of it is, you guys are an excellent sounding board for me as are the issues. I appreciate straight forward unprocessed opinions, not talking points but thoughts and questions. Dan it sounds like we agree here generally. |

For the record, I enjoy reading your opinions which is why I respond to them.
Your wrong and it is not so many of the states won by McCain where not open so Dems could not vote.

Mitt? He's more conservative than McCain, but that doesn't say much. McCain is a centrist (I've called him a RINO in the past, and I still believe it). Fred Thompson would bring... gravitas... to the ticket. I'll give Eleanor what's-her-name and those dufuses from the Washington ComPost a day to pick up on this. |

The world does not get to vote. Only we do. Imagine if that were true and Bush Jr. was elected the world President over even down under? I think Mitt is the best guy for the job right now. Its the economy stupid part deux. I don't read to much woohoo into Fred Thompson's gravitas Adbill. I love his politics but he is quick to become grumpy and unpolished as a politician needs to be. Plus observing his face and his age along with his health history makes me wonder. Going into the office with those kinds of bags unger his eyes? I wonder if he is well enough, he looks really bad as compared to 10 years ago. Take Juan Pablo McCain for example. He looks just as old as he did in 2000. What a fricking stud of a choice to run against a dynamic popular youthfull Idealogue like Obama. Truly a plan with Pompus blinders on that risks a Bob Doling in the election. The primaries SUCK in this country. Obviously mixing both parties up here: Much fodder was provided by Clowns like Ron Paul and the BOOB from Alaska, that troll Kucinich and that one dem that said Obama was clean and well spoken, was that Biden? Anyway You get a primary ballot like this: Mitt Romni Rudi Gulianni Ron Paul Fred Thompson Mike Huckabee John McCain Out of all these we managed to eliminate the Clown pretty quickly. Ron Paul was dispatched by the moderator as a man not equipped to function in the real world we all live in. They over look a proven economic guru and business class guy and natural leader like Mitt. They dismiss an experienced, tested and proven Leader and reformer of socioal issues and economic government like Rudi. They ignore Fred for getting in too late, which was necessary because he had limited $$$$$$$$$$$. They dismissed Huckebee for trivial crap one little issue here or there. ANY of the following would be a more palatable nominee: Mitt Rudi Huckabee Thompson Duncan Hunter But John McCain? How? Why? I am so very angry about this bullshit little maverick squirrell being the guy that I want the party to pay for it. If I get a clown for a VEEP on the Ticket I am going to be pissed and I will not follow party lines.Give me a Conservative mouth in your ear you 70+ year old wannabe appeaser amnesty Liberal Maverick Fstick!@!@###$$

It would seem some conservatives don't agree that Romney is the conservative Yang to McCain's more liberal Ying.
It would seem that Romney is more of a liability when before all I thought was that he would not and anything to McCain's Ticket. Now I really don’t expect Romney to get the Veep nod. |
