Cindy McCain is the beautiful, Southern Baptist antedote to The Hillarybeast! Go McCain! Put Clinton & Co. in the nation's rearview mirror for good!!!!

Let me see if I have this straight…

McCain is running on a “Never Surrender” platform with regard to Iraq, and asserting that we must stay the course.

McCain is also criticizing “Dubya’s” strategy in Iraq, which is basically to “Never Surrender” and “Stay the Course”.

Yep, McCain is definitely a politician.

McCain is acting like he invented the surge strategy in Iraq. Okay. It's not like the surge has made the Iraq war a good thing. It's just made it less bad. The fact that Americans are dying at half the previous rate begs the question. Was it wise to go there at all? The answer: No. John McCain doesn't get it.

John McCain surrendered conservative positions every chance he got as a Senator. He cut and run on Bush's tax cuts, he cut and run on conservative immigration reform, and he cut and run on the first amendment when he sponsored McCain-Feingold.

McCain has a strong conservative stance on Core issues.

Strong on Defense and will give the troops the support they need to win.

Fiscal conservative - supporting tax cuts for businesses - helping our small business owners create jobs and be more competitve. He also is known for cutting ridiculous government spending.

And he has a strong pro-life record.

Nice revisionist history 12:35. McCain made his political career by being a media darling and a "maverick" which is code for being a moderate-to- liberal Republican. He was a thorn in the side of conservative Senators for the past eight years, even sponsoring the McCain-Kennedy Immigration plan which would have cost trillions of dollars and given free healthcare and other subsidies to illegal immigrants.

As for the claim that he is pro-life, McCain is a fervent supporter of embryonic stem cell research.

No one cares about McCaijn's mistress before his divorce from his first wife, Cindy McCain.

John McCain says never surrender?

I seem to remember a surrender-ish outcome to the Vietnam War....

"McCain has a strong conservative stance on Core issues. Strong on Defense and will give the troops the support they need to win."

Ummmmm... that's what he was supposed to be doing in his current position.

12:46 but the VietNam war was just a Democrat mess. It took Nixon to get us out of it.

McCain is aiming at getting us out of Iraq WITHOUT our tails between our legs.

If you are against McCain/Feingold, you think there should be no controlling the influence of money and special interests on elections.

If you are aginst McCain's Immigration plan, you feel we are doing great on immigration and don't need any further laws.

Do you really, 12:38?

Since she'll be at the beach she should buy some romney flip-flops to feel more at home

“McCain/Feingold” is a joke, and does nothing to curb influence.

“McCain's Immigration plan” is also a joke. We don’t need “further laws” when we won’t even apply the one’s we have now. “Immigration Policy Reform” is a code phrase for “Take No Action”.

Get back to work… Staffer!

2:01 - that is a riot!! ;)

who cares about mccain and his wife, as soon as thompson drops out, Huck takes his support and is in a tie for first with romney.

glad to see giuliani falling fast!

Judy Ruliani was done weeks ago. She's just schlepping for a VP call… or a call from her nearest cousin.

[Publius, not Ceasar]

The First Amendment to the Constitution is not Progressive. It gives greater weight to the right of the individual to speak, to write, and to associate than to any collective purpose the government might have in suppressing speech. That right includes inevitably a right to spend money to speak, to write, and to associate. Without the right to spend, the other rights would have no concrete meaning.

In contrast, Progressives see speech as a means to a collective good -- improved public debate -- attained by government restrictions on individual liberty. In this view, free speech and free spending are mere self-interest or selfishness, vices to be overcome by benevolent censors.

For McCain, such self-interest should be sacrificed to the higher cause of "clean government." Hence, McCain's infamous statement on Don Imus's radio show: "I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government

Publius (an unknown, unlike Caesar):

A corrupted First Amendment would no longer be worth the paper it is written on. There has to be public confidence in government and in the political process. Additionally, the rule of law must be paramount. Without that, all the rights written into all the Constitutions don't amount to a hill of beans (to quote Rick, Casablanca).

Please note that the constitutions of places like the old Soviet Union and other (still) communist countries ALSO provide all sorts of protections. But because there is no rle of law, those "paper protections" are irrelevant. Likewise, if the public perceives that if you have enough money you can buy anything, anyone and get anywhere, the rule of law is gone and all your rights are rendered worthless.

Thus, McCain/Feingold protects the law by defending the notion that all citizens have equal rights. Not just the wealthy.

Polls show McCain beating Obama & Hillary head to head

Polls show Rudy & Romney losing to both.

I know who I am voting for.

I guess the historical reference to Publius is lost on you. Indeed, to call one a Ceasar was probably the worst insult during 1787 and probably lead to a few duels no dought. The 1st Amendment is fundamental and cannot not be corrupted if the language is followed: Congress shall make no law. However, laws have been made and even an "appearance of corruption" is enough to satisfy very liberal judges who would also like to silence debate.
