Red Red Wihhhhhne, stay close to meeeeheee,
don't let me be alone, it's tearing apart,
my blue blue heart. Sorry, what were we talking about?

unfortunately the FLAG pole with the rebel flag flying isn't closed yet.

I would like to coin a new term: Evilgelicals instead of evangelicals. The evilgelicals want to take away our freedom and make the Constitution more like the Bible.

Let's hope the Evilgelical Huckabee gets hammered down to the ground, soon.

Burn Rudy Burn!!!!

God, I hate that mother-fucker. His trouncing is making my year.

Thompson sounds like he's going to drop out.

Is Fred about to cry or something? Gee, he sounds funny, and I don't think it was technical problems.

Thompson should have ended that non-concession by yelling, "Psych!"

*******BREAKING NEWS**********

You heard it here first on the Drudge!

Agreed.

I can't get over how fast Rudy's lead collapsed. Those firemen were going to chase him all over the country.

Rudy is by his own admission "imperfect" and made mistakes--so many that he is a downer. And he is too pro-choice.

Maybe he can do something in FL--we'll have to see..

Fred's speech was funny--it was a psych on the media.

Sorry for Hunter.

Murphy

AP calls for McCain over Huckster--


Murphy

Good for McCain. With Biden and Dodd gone, he's the last of the real statesmen running.

I dont buy the headline in the story...if it was about immigration neither one of these would be leading because neither one are conservatives.......mccain and his amnesty and huckabee giving away free college to illegals.....

but the thing is.......these kinds of votes are insuring a democrat victory.......



but the thing is.......these kinds of votes are insuring a democrat victory.......

LOL

The One 'kind' of thing that insured a Democrat Victory is named

George W. Bush

Good for McCain. With Biden and Dodd gone, he's the last of the real statesmen running.

Rcade, you've got to be kidding. McCain makes Rudy look like a pacifist.

bomb bomb bomb-bomb bomb Iran--

Ray--You didn't like his diddy?


Murphy

By statesmen, I mean the wizened foreign policy hands who bring decades of experience to the race. That's not enough reason to vote for any of them, but you can't run a good government without them.

Rcade--who are You considering to vote for in the primary?

Murphy

South Carolina votes in McCain?
God help this nation.

Congrads to Senator McCain - a man who stands up for what he thinks is right even when his own skewer him for doing so.

Personally, I think he's a little old to be president, but if he wins the WH I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. My wife and I highly respected him until he stood behind Bush on getting us into the tragedy that is Iraq. Took McCain down several notches in our view, but still, the man is impressive, principled, and not a NeoCon

This is looking like a two person race with Romney and McCain.

Talk radio is heavily against McCain--I think one guy likes him--Medved.

McCain is wrong on McCain Feingold and immigration--he has to do something to reach out to conservatives and the Repub party. He can be forgiven.

He doesn't spend money--that's for sure--not one earmark ever in 26 years of being in the Senate.

Murphy

POSTED BY CALIFCHRIS



IMO that about settles the GOP race.

It will take a few more weeks to find out who McCain will loose too.

Experience at what? For McCain every foreign problem has a military solution. Every viable candidate has the same mentality. That's good government?

War is just another government program.

bomb bomb bomb-bomb bomb Iran--

A high probability for the next president and one we regret more than Iraq.

My wife and I highly respected him until he stood behind Bush on getting us into the tragedy that is Iraq.

So you and your wife must be for Obama--

Zap--

In a couple of weeks we will have the national primary and yes--it will be set --pretty much for both parties.

Murphy

MURPHY

IMHO McCain-Feingold was exactly what the country needed. If you've ever been to the House or Senate chambers you'd see lobbyists ON the floor of the Senate backslapping the Congressmen as they leave the chamber.

Our government is hostage to lobbyists who represent special interests that hold FAR too much sway in our legislative agenda - going so far as to write most of the legislation that affects their particular industries.

That's just dead wrong and not beneficial for you or I.

This is looking like a two person race with Romney and McCain.

As far as the nomination goes, Romney has the money, the looks and the youth. Voters are so shallow they decide on the basis of who they would rather look at for the next four years.

Our government is hostage to lobbyists who represent special interests that hold FAR too much sway in our legislative agenda - going so far as to write most of the legislation that affects their particular industries.

Nothing has changed since McCain-Feingold. The simple minded AU thinks it was a good law, but all it did is reduce criticism of entrenched politicians near election time.

AU--

M-F Bill had nothing to do with lobbyists--

en.wikipedia.org

The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA, McCainFeingold Act, Pub.L. 107-155, 116 Stat. 81, enacted 2002-03-27) is United States federal law that amended the Federal Election Campaign Act, which regulates the financing of political campaigns. Its chief sponsors were Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Russell Feingold (D-WI). The law became effective on 6 November 2002, and the new legal limits became effective on 1 January 2003.

As noted in McConnell v. FEC, a United States Supreme Court ruling on the BCRA, the Act was designed to address two issues:

The increased role of soft money in campaign financing, by prohibiting national political party committees from raising or spending any funds not subject to federal limits, even for state and local races or issue discussion;
The proliferation of issue ads, by defining as "electioneering communications" broadcast ads that name a federal candidate within 30 days of a primary or caucus or 60 days of a general election, and prohibiting any such ad paid for by a corporation (including non-profit issue organizations such as Right to Life or the Environmental Defense Fund) or paid for by an unincorporated entity using any corporate or union funds.


Murphy

This bill infringes on free speech--BS--it should be dumped like Rcade does to posters here..


Murphy

M-F Bill had nothing to do with lobbyists--

MURPHY


Who do you think writes the checks for the special interests funding the efforts the bill was designed to end?

AU--

It didn't end anything--It's worse!

You can see that right? Why do you think there is a proliferation of 527 groups?

Read the bill--it opened the door to the worse of politics--

It needs to be dumped.

Murphy

for the rudy haters...
he made no attempt in this race... he is putting all of his efforts and money into florida and the big sweep coming up in the next weeks.
he will fall, however... in unspectacular fashion i am hoping.

this win is sooooooo huge for mccain. tis way too early to wrap things up for him but between the god voters (choose either mitt's or huck's), and fretard thompson???? who will really challenge?
and ron paul in double digits.... moses on a moped, that is odd.


Rcade--who are You considering to vote for in the primary?

Biden was my first choice. Obama is currently my second. It would take a lot from Clinton in the next 10 days to change that.

Hey--Mopeds go up to 32 mph down hill!

I am not sure how Rudy does this--McCain will likely win FL now.

Romney has a ton of money--but the win for McCain might get him some cash.

Murphy

Rcade--

So you are in FL?

Is that a true primary or do folks get to cross over?

Murphy

MURPHY

I'm for throwing out ALL the lobbyists from Congress and the WH.

I'm for making it illegal to give campaign contributions in any form. They skew the entire election process.

In any form from special interests

Our government is 'We The People'. Lobbyists and special interests have hijacked our government's agenda and skew the election process with their 'contributions' that are nothing more than legal bribery.

By statesmen, I mean the wizened foreign policy hands who bring decades of experience to the race. That's not enough reason to vote for any of them, but you can't run a good government without them.

Yes, thank you. Right, Your Majesty is like a stream of bat's piss.

(gasps)
What?

I, um, I, ah, I merely meant, Your Majesty, that, ah, you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.

Oh, ho-ho, very good.

(attr: MPFC)

I'm in Florida, and I'm pretty pissed off at the national Democrats for taking our delegates away. If I could cross over and vote Republican, I'd be tempted to do it. Voting when it doesn't count sucks.

Have faith, we may get our delegates back yet, RCade.

RCADE- I feel your pain. The MI primary was such a joke I stayed home.

Hillary and Kucinich vs uncommited. Uncommited votes can go to ANYONE so it was a total wash. Didn't vote for the first time ever. Screw the DNC...

I got excited for Guiliani and he burned me with his shitty campaign.

I'm tempted to get excited for McCain, because I've always liked the guy, but I'm staying reserved this time.

Foxnews just put up a poll for the GOP candidates in Florida... McCain is polling in first with about 23% and Rudy in second with about 20%...

It should be interesting to see if McCain can carry some momentum. It would be nice if a real candidate would emerge so that we can focus on the general election.

Real candidate?

Yeah, I agree. I wish Ron Paul would finaly emerge. He is the only real Republican running.

Maybe he can do something in FL--we'll have to see..


Rudy has guaranteed no sand castles will fall to alqueda while he's there.

Thompson's out, so is Duncan, for the two people who knew he was in.
Wonder where their supporters will go. Fred's into the laundry first, I hope. That tricky Buckahee sure fucked up everything.

. Took McCain down several notches in our view, but still, the man is impressive, principled, and not a NeoCon

Not anymore-he's Bush on Steroids and his principles went out the window when he kissed fakwell's ring. He's just an old politician.

I wish Ron Paul would finaly emerge.

Who?


Have faith, we may get our delegates back yet, RCade.

Posted by YAV

People are speculating that by convention time the delegates will be seated. The national parties, especially the DNC, will want to smooth things over, or else risk losing the White House. And when the delegates are seated, other states will realize that they can move up their primaries in 2012 without penalty. And when that happens, the whole unfair monopoly of IA and NH will come crashing down like a house of cards.

Even if we have to have primaries in Halloween of 2011, this unfair system has got to be destroyed once and for all. IA and NH are just 2 states, vs 48, their population is what, 4 million? vs 296 million. They will not win in the end. It would ridiculous for the rest of us to continue letting them get away with this shit.

Sic transit gloria Rudy.

Sic transit gloria Rudy.

What? What is Rudy doing with a woman named Gloria? Or is that Rudy name when he wears a dress?

If I could cross over and vote Republican, I'd be tempted to do it. Voting when it doesn't count sucks.

Posted by rcade

Just curious, who would you vote for in the GOP primary if you could?


South Carolina

Rudolph W. Giuliani 6th place 2.1%

Wow not even 9.11%

The One 'kind' of thing that insured a Democrat Victory is named

George W. Bush



Posted by Zap at 2008



one more time and maybe you can tell the dem candidates..

BUSH AINT RUNNING..............


and mccain is once again the darling of the left because they know that he cant beat hillary or obama because conservatives WONT VOTE FOR HIM.....
and so you see.....the media proves this out as they spit up over mccain so that they can help him win and then lose to the dem......

so I guess the good people of SC forgot all about the gang of 14 and amnesty and a vote against tax cuts and the prohibition of free speach with mccain feingold.......too bad.

OH YEAH.......just read statment in paper about rommny......reason he was in vegas was because he hasnt been counting on SC.....or at least thats thier story and they are sticking to it.....


as far as huckabee......well......whatev
er...he has as much of a chance of beating the dems as mccain.....



Nevada

Rudolph W. Giuliani 6th Place 4.3%

Hey much better!

Almost half of 9.11%

And he seems to have a real lock on 6th Place!

Both sources:

politics.nytimes.com

Wasn't it pathetic the way Fredisdead was saying a few days ago "hey it's my turn to win, come on guys, let me win one, please, come on now!"



BUSH AINT RUNNING
Bullshitlovertwo


A shame the GOP candidates can't seem to get out of his shadow.




so how do you explain that the left cums in thier pants when blowjob is even talked about......

AND YET....

al gore ran like a scalded dog away from him in 2000..........so maybe its just the way it works....

will have to wait on your rebutt until morning..
I cant wait.........yeah right......

People who voted for rudy in Nevada-9
People who voted for rudy in SC -11



so how do you explain.....


LOL

The only one who cums with thoughts of Bill Clinton would seem to be you Bullshiter.

He seems to be the only one you concern yourself with.

"Rudolph W. Giuliani 6th Place 4.3%"

The last thing we need is another W in the White House.

Just curious, who would you vote for in the GOP primary if you could?

Hard for me to really say, since I've never cast a GOP vote in my life, but probably McCain. I don't like a lot of his voting record, but I like that he stood up in a Republican debate and said that waterboarding is torture and dishonors the country.


so I guess the good people of SC forgot all about the gang of 14 and amnesty and a vote against tax cuts and the prohibition of free speach with mccain feingold.......too bad.


Yeah I forgot about all those things. I forgot about his illegitimate black baby too. I heard a rumor that now he has an illegitimate mexican baby and that's why he is for amnesty.

BLT-

"and mccain is once again the darling of the left because they know that he cant beat hillary or obama because conservatives WONT VOTE FOR HIM....."

You are half right. I will go to the polls to vote against the Hildbeast regardless of who the Republicans are running...if for no other reason than for the preservation of the Republic. Absent a Hildebeast on the dem ticket, I will vote against McCain for the same reason. If they are both running, I figure that he is only slightly less dangerous to my Constitutional Rights than she is.

Now to predict that Hildebeast will defeat McCain, you have a problem. Consider the number of Democrats that voted "anyone but Hildebeast" in Michigan last week. Consider the theft of the New Hampshire election that was the only way she could maintain any degree of credibility. Consider the deep fractures that she is creating in the Black voting block with her continuing racist comments. (The only way she can do more damage is if she were to tell crowds that James Earl Ray is the reason for the national holiday for Martin Luther King Jr.)br />

If the black block splits, the Dems have a serious problem on their hands. Hildebeast can't unite them like Bubba did....and Hildebeast will NEVER be considered a "uniter".

With all of this in mind...if McCain and Obama make it to the general...and Obama leaves the beastie in the dust....I will vote for him over McCain.

"I forgot about his illegitimate Black baby, too....".

Yes, funny what happened to that child, a person who seemed so important to the good folks of SC eight years ago.

Get's one back in touch with the Bush legacy, doesn't it? You can achieve quite a bit in life if you have no shame.

McCain to Dubya: Eat me.

Goat-ropin morons picking a President? I don't think so.

Wife of POW Navy Pilot, Who Had Husband's Remains Sent Home By North Vietnamese in 1989, Was Lied to by U.S. Officials For Years About His Whereabouts And POW Status

"McCain is even more dangerous than Bush. I don't want to see this man ever become President and that's why I want this story out because he is one of the biggest liars in our government and, by no means, a friend of the POW families.



"After backstabbing all of us, hiding the truth about the POW story, I wish they would have kept him in a prison camp for life like so many others who didn't have his military and political clout. If they lied to us about this, just think about the
lies spread about 9/11 and the present-day war in Iraq?"

Back in the old days, defendants in famous trials got numbers -- the Chicago Eight, the Gang of Four, the Dave Clark Five, the Daytona 500. McCain was one of the "Keating Five," congressmen investigated on ethics charges for strenuously helping convicted racketeer Charles Keating after he gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips.

Charles Keating was convicted of racketeering and fraud in both state and federal court after his Lincoln Savings & Loan collapsed, costing the taxpayers $3.4 billion. His convictions were overturned on technicalities; for example, the federal conviction was overturned because jurors had heard about his state conviction, and his state charges because Judge Lance Ito (yes, that judge) screwed up jury instructions. Neither court cleared him, and he faces new trials in both courts.)

Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating's airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating's luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain's wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a "sweetheart deal."

Mafia ties:
In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.
