		<description>When McCain said &quot;I&#039;ve Learned My Lesson on Illegals&quot;, I assumed he was admitting he was wrong about amnesty.  I have since learned he has not changed his views at all.  Like a bank robber who tells the judge he has &quot;learned his lesson&quot;, he hopes his words will be understood as &quot;I&#039;ll never do it again&quot;, when in reality he is thinking &quot;I&#039;ve learned my lesson: next time I&#039;ll do it smarter so I don&#039;t get caught.&quot;

It&#039;s important that we don&#039;t fall for his new tricks and that we don&#039;t allow him to silence his critics so he can do his dirty deeds when no one is watching.  Here is a quote from John McCain that shows he plans to do it again:

&lt;blockquote&gt;McCain said he listened to what the public was saying when the legislation failed — and responded accordingly. 

&quot;I said, OK. We&#039;ll secure the borders, but after we secure the borders, we&#039;ll have a temporary worker program, we&#039;ll have to address the 12 million people here illegally, and &lt;strong&gt;I think the best way is the proposal that we had&lt;/strong&gt;,&quot; McCain said. 

&quot;It&#039;s not a switch in position. &lt;strong&gt;I support the same solution.&lt;/strong&gt; But we&#039;ve got to secure the borders first,&quot; he added. &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

I must say if you listened to this or read it, the people that critisize MM or Rush for not endorsing or tearing down their candidate should be the one&#039;s to shut up, they call it as they see it, if you disagree then you disagree it&#039;s as simple as that.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Hannibal&lt;/em&gt; said:&lt;blockquote&gt;I will vote for the lesser of the evils because the country deserves that much.&lt;/blockquote&gt;But that&#039;s the question, isn&#039;t it?  Which one is truly the &lt;em&gt;lesser&lt;/em&gt; evil: the Constitution-shredding &quot;Maverick&quot; or the one that is, mmmm, &lt;a href=&quot;http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/krauthammer101207.php3&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Clintonian&lt;/a&gt;?</description>

Both are not Conservative and both betrayed their party....Those who think McCain is good on defense...makes me laugh...yeah right ...maybe defense of Iraq and the hell with the USA...which he is all for leaving wide open...He is a disgrace and treasonous piece of trash . Just heard about a roll call of celebrities endorsing McCain--if that don&#039;t tell you that he ain&#039;t much different than a democrat then you are in a coma.....&lt;em&gt;Just SAY NO TO MCCain!!!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>#56...  Were those rhetorical questions or just pulled out of some bodily orifice.  If you know how many times they were unfaithful or even if they were unfaithful please enlighten everyone.  You must have some personal knowledge since you brought it up.</description>

		<description>#54. McCain, electable? Not on your life. He may have broad appeal with Dems / Left Inds, but that is the point. He doesn&#039;t have the support of conservatives. He bills himself as conservative, and that is what angers folks about him and gives him his high negatives.</description>

		<description>I cannot accept McCain as the Republican candidate.  After McCain-Feingold, I have a lot of reservations.  However, one thing worries me.  If McCain is the candidate, it will rip the Republicans in two. Much like Perot and Bush, votes will go to McCain, and votes will go elsewhere, or nowhere at all (not voting).  The democrats will be united and win the White House. If I was a democrat, I would like to see McCain win, knowing full well that it will cause a split.</description>

		<description>This reminds me of the Dems in 2004 - Not a winner in the bunch.  This is how they ended up with Kerry. 

For what it&#039;s worth, he&#039;s pretty much the only electable candidate in the GOP stable right now.  Do you have any idea how many Dems would cross over to vote for him if Hillary gets the nomination?  He has a very broad appeal.  But I guess this is why you don&#039;t like him...???</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;RUSH:  Let me give you a quote, ladies and gentlemen, from the great Ronaldus Magnus, especially since the Drive-Bys and even some pundits on our side continue to hate hearing references to Reagan.  &quot;A political party cannot be all things to all people.  It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply to swell its numbers.&quot;  Let me translate.  It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency or simply doing anything to win.  And that, I fear, is what&#039;s happening to the Republican Party. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

It doesn&#039;t help when the vast majority of Republican elected officials don&#039;t subscribe to Republican core beliefs.
I don&#039;t have any allegiance to a party, especially one that subverts its own precepts.</description>

		<description>If the neocon liberal Republican movement is damaged by Conservative principles, so be it!

Its the abandonment of Conservatism thats lead to the abandonment by Americans of the Republican party.

&quot;Americans will always vote for a center right candidate.&quot;
Unfortunately, those words were spoken by Newt Gingrich now a born again liberal Republican, or is he? 

The natural progress is to be countered by Conservatism, not embraced by it.</description>
