I suppose it was too much to hope for the Democrats to field a candidate who could beat a party with 30% approval ratings, huh. :/

Edwards dropping out means he's in PRIME position to win the nomination, assuming a suicide bombing at the upcoming debate.

Well, Romney needs to firm up his national security credentials, fast. Recruit people like Tommy Franks & yes Rumsfeld (who has more respect from Conservatives than McCain ). Republicans Respect Bush (remember the applause when Bush was mentioned).

When McCain challenges Romney on Military, why not show Reagan & Bush - how they handled crisis?

Quote

That's why the left likes high turn out elections.

The higher the turnout, the dumber the voter, on average.

There are only so many knowledgeable voters to go around. Enough sheeple, idiots, crooks, felons, illegals and dead people can always overwhelm them.

Then they yell and scream that the Right is stealing elections, such as the 2000 Presidential election and the problems with Diebold machines, both as a smoke screen for their own shenanigans, and in order to rile up the sheeple and herd them into the polling booth.

Quote

Add to these his, seemingly, loss of memory as to what REAL torture is and his desire to seek the approval of the left wing media and I am left to wonder HOW ANYONE who considers themselves a “conservative” can actually support this man. There is FAR more to this race than the abortion issue. How will his conservative supporters feel when countries like China and Cuba are added to the OTHER anti-American countries who hold us hostage over oil when we could WELL be supplying our own needs? Both of these countries are now drilling in the Gulf even as our “environmentalists” will not allow US to.

For the pro-lifers out there ( and I am MOST definately one) I MUST ask- do you REALLY trust this man to appoint SC justices like Roberts? Do you? Really? A man who loves- NEEDS- the press to “love” him? His lack of a reality check is quite enough to turn me off. The fact that the pop media has endorsed him is all one needs to know if you haven’t a clue about the OTHER issues in the race.

It would be nice to have a TRUE conservative to vote for; a real small government, tax cutting, pro-military, pro life, strict Constitutionalist conservative with SOME knowledge of basic economics and an appreciation of capitalism and a reverence for Reaganism...but we don’t have one. All in all, however, a vote for McCain is a vote for whichever of the two idiots the demonRATs vote for.

Get this VERY straight: the left keeps telling us that McCain is our best bet. They love to call him a “maverick” (and he and some of YOU think this is a GOOD thing). They “endorse” him. We are told the press loves him, that he is a “conservative” when we SHOULD know better by now. But make NO mistake- they are supporting him because they truly believe HE is THE ONE THEY CAN BEAT.

Wanna see something funny? Watch McCain’s meltdown when his “friends” on the left turn on him because they all support Hillary.

This man is not STABLE enough to be president. Grow up. “Beating hillary” is NOT the most important thing here.

Quote

All the candidates were wrong on global warming, not just those three. Hunter and Tancredo were the only ones I recall that didn’t seem to really buy into it completely. But to one extent or another they all had moments of GW crap-think, although a few had only indirect involvement.

Quote

Sorry,
He is not A WAR HERO.
Yes he was locked in a Viet-Nam prison, but that doesn't make you a WAR HERO.
The man is dangerous and I can't believe I am saying this, but we would be better off with with HITLERY. Why? THE JIMMY CARTER EFFECT.

Quote

I stopped reading where it said that John McCain is the “right candidate” for the GOP. Juan McAztlan is the perfect candidate for the democratic/amnesty party. His future running mate, Mike “Open Borders for Jesus” Huckleberry has the Jim Bakker or if you like, Elmer Gantry act down pat to fool a good portion of the evangelicals that McInsane loathes but needs in the general election.

My version of what happened last night:

McCain: Fuck you!
Romney: No, fuck you!
McCain: Shut up!
Romney: No, you shut up!
Huckabee: Why can't I get any time here? waaaaaahhhh :'(
McCain: Back to the main topic, go fuck yourself Romney.
Romney: Fuck you you fucking fuck
Ron Paul: Gold Standard, Gold Standard, Gold Standard...Gold Standard
McCain: As for the state of the economy in the US, well...I'm better than you, Romney
Huckabee: Why won't anyone ask me anything? ::whine, whine, whine::
Ron Paul: Ronald Reagan loved the gold standard. He told me in secret!

Debate over.

Not really. One of his weaker showings if you ask me.

Better than Huckabee's performance last night. He is suffering from a severe case of vaginitis. Perhaps now he is realizing that he never had a shot in the first place? I guess all those insane fundies that turned out for Iowa and Chuck Norris clouded his judgment.

Exactly. People who say they'll vote for Obama but not Hillary if she wins confuse me. If that's the case, I sure as fuck don't want to hear them bitching when McCain is appointing judges, or implementing super surges in Iraq, etc.

Quote

After the debacle in New Hampshire, I'm reticent about ever posting about polls again. With that disclaimer, check out Gallup's latest tracking poll. With twenty-two states voting on Super Tuesday, we're at the point where national polls matter. And Hillary Clinton's lead over Barack Obama, recently in double-digits, is now down to four.

On January 20, Clinton had a twenty point lead over Obama. But since then Obama's numbers have steadily increased, while Clinton's have dipped slightly. In key February 5 states, the numbers are also getting closer. According to the latest Rasmussen poll, Clinton is up only three points in California, compared to other polls that showed her with a double-digit advantage there. In Massachusetts, Obama was down 28 points earlier in the month. Now he's down 6. He can thank Teddy Kennedy for the bounce. (It's too soon to know the effect of John Edwards' departure, although the numbers last night, according to Gallup "show no clear indication that either candidate is benefiting disproportionately."

That said, Clinton retains an advantage in virtually every major February 5 state, with the exception of Obama's home turf of Illinois. The numbers are trending Obama's way across the country. But he may not have enough time to make up the difference. If Super Tuesday were on February 12 instead of February 5, the outcome could be very different.

:/

I was just thinking about that! Like, OMG!

Americans -- maybe this applies to any empire or powerful nation -- seem predisposed to believing that some malign force is out to topple them and their way of life, and actually has a shot at doing so.

In retrospect, it's impressive that we got through the 90's without building up someone as National Enemy #1. Now, even if an Obama talks the nation down from the ledge vis swarthy Muslims, we're already hearing noises about China.

They hold billions of dollars worth of our bonds! They could just redeem them for Texas!

WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are running neck-and-neck in California, New Jersey and Missouri two days before the sprawling "Super Tuesday" presidential showdown, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Sunday.

Obama has a slight lead in California and is virtually tied with Clinton in New Jersey and Missouri heading into the biggest day of voting ever in a U.S. presidential nominating campaign, with contests in 24 states.

Obama, an Illinois senator who would be the first black U.S. president, also has a comfortable 20-point lead in Georgia fueled by a more than 3-to-1 advantage over Clinton among black voters.
