		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;results and the GOP with &lt;strong&gt;Linda Chavez&lt;/strong&gt;, who argues &lt;/blockquote&gt;

That would be &quot;Open Borders, One Continent, One People, One Nation, you are a racist if you DARE disagree with me&quot; &lt;strong&gt;Linda Chavez&lt;/strong&gt;.

Any chance you could throttle her for me? I would be ever so grateful.

		<description>There is only one thing that gets me to vote McCain over Clinton or Obama - to prevent Democrat/Liberal gloating.

McCain might be a RINO, but it&#039;s enough to give the Left hissyfits.</description>

He led an unsuccessful effort in 2000 to derail Aimee&#039;s Law, which required states to keep rapists, murderers and molesters in prison for at least 85 percent of their sentences or pay a penalty if they committed the same crime elsewhere. Thompson argued that the measure was unfair to states. His colleagues disagreed, voting 90 to 5 to approve it. 
Aren&#039;t Republicans supposed to be the party that is fed up with slap on the wrist punishments for violent criminals???? 
Someone needed to send a memo to Fred!

I.I., the vote he cast that Bill Clinton was &quot;NOT GUILTY of PERJURY&quot; in the case of the deposition he gave live on international TV before world leaders, and this year, on June 5, 2007, called the charge irrelevant AND NOT PASSING THE MUSTER OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. It was NOT about S-E-X  - it was about ABUSING WOMEN adn their political power, to get away with it!
This stance (SLANDEROUS TO OUR FOUNDING FATHERS) was refuted MINUTES LATER on the SAME PROGRAM by Ann Coulter, and again in her next column, in which SHE CITED CASE HISTORIES to disprove his arrogant blubbering LIES and SLANDER of our Founding Fathers.
Voted with the DEMOCRATS while showing international leaders the meaning of American Justice - ALL the Supreme Court unanimously refused to attend the next Clinton &quot;State of the Union&quot; Speech.

June 5th, 2007, Fred called that perjury a &quot;TRIVIAL MATTER&quot;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;The vote of your opponents is the most honorable mark by which the soundness of your conduct could be stamped. I claim the same honorable testimonial. There was but a single act of my whole administration of which [the opposing] party approved... And when I found they approved of it, I confess I began strongly to apprehend I had done wrong, and to exclaim with the Psalmist, &#039;Lord, what have I done that the wicked should praise me?&#039;&quot;&lt;/b&gt; --Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1812. ME 13:162 &lt;/blockquote&gt;

- IS ALSO, LIKE McCAIN, FOR GLOBAL WARMING LAWS

Voted against torte reform because of &quot;Federalism&quot;
That is a lot like voting NOT GUILTY of PERJURY due to PRESIDENTIAL PRIVILEGE, isn&#039;t it???

------------------------
Phil Harris, Ann Coulter, Bill Glover, George Will, James Bopp, Jr., John Solomon, etc etc etc..... 


If you can swallow McCain&#039;s friends, doing the same activities as he does, why are you having a problem with McCain, himself???

If Romney goes down, then in November, I will vote for a CONSERVATIVE as a write-in candidate.</description>

I took small comfort in seeing Colorado go to Romney. We had a huge turnout at our caucus, and while I think the caucus should go the way of the dinosaur, it was an interesting evening. Our precinct’s straw poll went Romney - 32, Paul - 17, and McCain - 1. the disctrict was just as strongly for Romney.
That said, getting home and seeing the results nationwide was not unexpected but still deflating as hell. Most annoying was the Huckabee effect in the east and south as the evangelicals refused to vote for “one o’ them there Mormon fellas.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

THANKS, ALL THE SAME! Hey, it hasn&#039;t been the cake walk they&#039;d like to portray - and it certainly ain&#039;t the DONE DEAL!

I saw a lady a few days ago from Colorado who almost stayed home, but she went, and she voted Romney, too.

I&#039;m from Texas, and I will do my small part, on March 4.
BTW, we have tons of Texas REPUGS trying to tell us we have to get with the program because we want to &quot;WIN, NATIONALLY&quot;!!! [brainless twits! This is TEXAS, not Valley Girls! You can&#039;t win anything of value by trashing THE ALAMO to get there! Juan Henandez Jerry Perenchio McSanta Anna]

Today I sent dozens, literally, of my closest relatives the Ronald Reagan CPAC 1975 transcript in an e-mail.

We&#039;ll see what kind of nibbles I get back and how much information I can then pack in behind it! 

hehehehe

What I wanna know is how many of those HUCKABEE SUPPORTERS he has been busy telling he&#039;ll fight tooth and toenail to get ROE V WADE overturned and get a marriage protection amendment and an anti-abortion amendment passed, ONLY TO SELL THEIR VOTES OUT TO McBACKSTABBER.

Huckleberry has spent tons of time the last few years going to Christian TENN missions outreach conventions like &quot;The Call&quot; laying the groundwork for his ANTI-ABORTION campaign -&quot;wanting to know what &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;thah Lord&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is saying to the people&quot;.
What a typical user/sellout Socialist.</description>

		<description>These non-stop tiresome reminders by the McCainiacs of the senator&#039;s military service are starting to remind me of the ChuckNorrisFacts site.  They really shouldn&#039;t hold back.  The great senator is capable of so much more: Here are but a few examples:

* John McCain counted to infinity - twice.
* When John McCain does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
* John McCain is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.
* John McCain can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.
* John McCain doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
* John McCain can slam a revolving door. &lt;em&gt;(I bet he at least tried that one.)&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Ronald Reagan had so many great statements worthy or quotation.  But, one of my all-time favorites is...

“&lt;em&gt;You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children&#039;s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.&lt;/em&gt;”</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It says volumes about McCain that, during the 2004 campaign, he told the Swifties to stop telling the truth about Kerry.

That’s enough for me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, cpodug (#7).  That is just another reason, on top of a host of others, not to vote for McCain.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;To call a GOP candidate who sneers at profits and denigrates businessmen and greedy corporations and crusades for a liberal, global warming agenda the best Reaganite heir is simply self-delusional.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Self-delusional, yes, but it sounds more like an old Soviet style propaganda campaign to me.</description>

		<description>Khyris,  We have a condition in TX that rears its ugly head every now and then.  We can have propositions on the ballot that are worded in such a way that, if you are for the prop, vote no.  If you are against the
prop, vote yes.  Several years ago there was a real stink because this
happened and no one was alerted to it.  Those of us that read, realized
what happened when we read the props in the paper before the election.  We tried to alert as many voters as possible but didn&#039;t get to
enough.  The newspaper did not explain what had happened until after
the election and people were furious when they found out they had been duped.  This was when Ma Richards was governor.  It does recur, but not as often and if people listen and read they are warned.
However, people have not been very literate for quite a few years now.</description>

		<description>The Great American People....

... are gullible idiots.

[rant mode]

Sometimes I almost think the Dems might even be right that most people can&#039;t be trusted to make their own decisions.

42% of the voters in CA voted yes on Proposition 91 for which the &quot;Pro&quot; argument stated &quot;This issue was fixed by another Prop last year and this one is no longer necessary, Please vote No.&quot;

Why do we allow people to vote without the slightest test for simple reading comprehension, or cognitive logic?

We have a boob-tube electorate, too enamored with whatever celebrity talking head tells us is good to do any research on an issue, let alone think critically about long-term consequences.

How else do we explain a Proposition S in Los Angeles raising telecom taxes by 9% that passed with a 60% &quot;yes&quot; rate? Because the Mayor came on TV, smiled, and lied through his teeth that this was a &quot;tax reduction&quot; ... conveniently forgetting to mention that the 10% tax he had been collecting was ruled illegall over two years prior (not that he stopped collecting it) and that the new terms expanded the scope of the tax.  Then newly appointed Police and Fire chiefs are sent on the airwaves, to cry about how essential services would be cut unless we approved this tax reduction, ignoring Council members $170k+ salaries and the 22,000 civil servants who just received obscene pay raises in December.

Does the Great American Electorate rise to the challenge? Demand back pay of the past embezzlement? Demand that NON-essential services face the chopping block?  No, the simplistic cro-magnons just read &quot;ooh! tax cut good!&quot; and that is the full extent of the intellectual exercise.

I am told now that John McCain is the candidate of inevitability.  Shut up and support him. Except, I was told the same thing about Hillary Clinton last year.  Since when is it only right to vote for principles when those principles are likely to be popular?? WTF kind of principles are those??

The mantra is the same... we must pay attention to ancient history and ignore recent events. We must applaud McCain&#039;s ancient service, and ignore his recent treachery.  We must castigate Romney&#039;s ancient transgression, and ignore his recent epiphanies.  

I&#039;ve got news for all the gullible idiots out there telling us to shut up and back McCain because he&#039;s a liberal now and Romney USED to be a liberal:  recent behavior is a far better guage  of the imminent future than indicators from ancient history.  Unless you want to argue that David Horowitz is still a Marxist.
