McCain faces doubts among Republican conservatives »

Posted By ybdogsct 1 year, 6 months ago in News

Republicans used the PA, IN, and NC primaries to register their unhappiness with McCain by voting for Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, or Mitt Romney. In Penn, 27% opted for Huckabee or Paul; in N Carolina and Indiana, McCain opponents earned 23% of the vote. The Washington Times calculated that McCain had garnered no more than 45% of the Republican vote.

    I find it disturbing that in a nation of 300 million citizens the three front runners are the BEST we can choose....!!!!

    Of course McCain and his camp are in doubt, NOW! They thought and hoped that Hillary was the nominee, they had plenty they could throw at her. Obama is a different story, and Democrats are registering in droves, especially young people. It's time for them to get scared.

    The free pass the media gave McCain got him the nomination very early in the primary, it's not going to be as easy for him in the general.

    CNN needs to get rid of Wolf Blitzer!! I hope he's not one of the debate moderators in the general, he is too biased.

    I can't be the only one who is sick of privileged brats running for office. We don't need royalty in the white house. We need someone to represent Americans who know what it is to shop in the supermarket, who have to budget food expenses, and who have to fill their cars with gas. When was the last time John McCain or George Bush stepped into a supermarket or had to juggle the food budget to make ends meet? (How about never!)

    Lokcy12:

    You failed to recognize the truth, as usual. Obama is the only candidate that knows what it is like to live from meal to meal. With a single parent and the need for food stamps, he had to struggle to rise from his modest background. It was only a few years ago that he finished paying off his college loans. He did not get into Harvard because this father was an alumni. And he did not need to elude penalties for misconduct because his father was an admiral or a Washington insider.

    Is it that you lack the awareness of who the candidates are, or the integrity to admit that Obama is the only candidate that did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth?

    Considering Locky and aceofspades contributions on this thread, I might as well sit back and watch FOX news for the cheap shots and mindless slurs.

      Well, that's three for three. This was supposed to go on the end of the article, not as a response to raats6662.

      I'm not too surprised. There haven't been any real conservatives nominated by the Republicans since Barry Goldwater, and the people that call themselves conservatives today have applauded nation building, empire building and a ten trillion dollar tax increase (disguised as a deficit). They aren't even bright enough to figure out that they are going to have to pay that increase off at some point.

      He will be the GOP candidate not the conservative voters'candidate. I doubt he has taken a conservative position that he will not quickly abandon should he be elected. He does not even like the lst amendment and sponsered a bill to infringe that right. Whoever wins in November will be the real loser in January. That person will get to raise taxes and cut spending just to stay even at $9.4 trillion in the hole. Cutting federal entitlement programs and economic collapse will provided great opportunity for anarchy.

        I read many of the comments on this story and I'm sure glad that I'm a Canadian, OUr political process is alot different than your and I'm glad that it is. I've read comments on the candidates being everthing from nearly commies to fascists the only thinng that got left out was total dictator and I've even seen that mentioned, whether we want to accept it or not nearly all democratic countries move to the left over time the point of elections is to determine the speed at which they do so. President Bush was elected to slow the movement to the left but his policies did not ( and this is only my opinion) reflect true conservative values. Earlier McCain did look like a person who would represent a moderate conservative but he has made alot of flip flops and now I wonder if Ron Paul would not have been a better choice, When it comes to the Democrats we have Hillary and I won't go into that, but with Barack I feel his picture will change by the time Nov. comes around.

        Everytime I hear McCain speak he always gets the facts wrong and his wife has to correct him. I think that lump on the side of his face has moved to his brain, and it's going soft. He's as bad as Bush, who doesn't know $hit!

          Well, I'm on record as opposing all three of the current "favored" candidates. As for the supreme court appointing dealie, I have to say that the MAIN thing to look for in a candidate is one who can READ our Constitution and simply APPLY it to a given case. And to NOT look for a knucklehead who is going to "interpret" the Constitution to suit a particular religious or political agenda. That is definitely NOT what they are supposed to be doing.

            Yeah, I think John has had a bit of a hiatus from under the microscope while the Democrats are still slinging dirt at each other. Eventually, it'll get back to Democrats and Republicans slinging dirt - THEN John will be taking some hits again, I expect.

              When Obama ran for Senator in Illinois the Republicans basically conceded the election to him. Their candidate was exposed as another of the long line of "family" value men who wanted his wife to go to sex clubs (i.e. jeri Ryan of Star Trek) and dropped from the race. He;s done a great job for Illinois and won handily even in downstate regions which typically vote Republican. They have to be scared, he talks straight and follows what he says. To your typical Republican that alone is a scary thought.

              The three front runners are not so different. They all received their top campaign donations from Big Business. They all rub elbows with lobbyists, they all are corporate money takers, they all will keep us at "war" in the middle east. The only candidate promoting real change is the one being ignored by the media and both parties...Ron Paul has received his top donations from the men/women in the US Army, Navy and Airforce. Ron Paul is not afraid to stand up to the establishment and tell them how they are breaking their vow to uphold the Constitution. He is being ignored, not because he is a "quack", but because he is a true Patriot and, afterall, public ignorance is the governments bestfriend.

                I would to add a comment on the McCain campaigners. It does not bother me when I get a phone call with the caller ID reading MCCAIN 2008 and I think it's a pretty slick idea. Being registered Republican I am leaning towards McCain. I will say this though: DOING THAT SLICK CAMPAIGN CALL ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON DOES NOT INSPIRE ME TO VOTE FOR A MAN WHO APPROVES THAT TYPE OF CALL ON A DAY WHEN MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER INVIOLATE TO THAT TYPE OF PESTERING PHONE STUFF. Whew, glad I got that out of my system. Anyway if there are any people involved in the campaign who might just happen to read this, I hope you take it to heart.

                  I find it hard to believe that America is ready to be governed by a chameleon. Even if you absolutely despise Hillary and McCain, you know where they stand and what they stand for. BO changes his color and tune as expedience dictates. If that is what America wants I pity us. He espouses 'change'. Just what is it that he wants to change and for who's benefit. He never has made this quite clear. He has succeeded in turning the word 'change' into a four-letter word, similar to the way the liberals have made 'choice' a four-letter word.

                  Just a word of warning for patriotic Americans: keep the Vasiline jar handy. You're going to need it.

                  Semper fi.

                    I don't think the November election will be a blow-out one way or the other. Many of the people predicting a landslide for McCain also predicted that the Republicans would add to their majority in the House and Senate in 2006. There are many unknowns going into November and so many potential scandals for all three presidential candidates. I don't think anyone here can make a realistic prediction.

                    I also doubt that any of the three candidates will do any of the extreme things that their opponents on propeller are insisting they will do. For most presidents-elect (and GWB was one of the big exceptions--part of the reason he's such a poor president), reality sets in between the time they are elected and the time they take office. Reality has a way of moderating a lot of political hubris.

                    It is laughable that people believe the illusion that there are many differences between McCain, Hilary, and Obama. All three candidates take lots of money from Big Business and rub elbows with corporate lobbyists. All three voted FOR the 'war', voted FOR the 'patriot act', and all three voted FOR NAFTA. All three candidates are also affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations. If you don't know much about the CFR, I implore you to do some research.

                    The only candidate that is being ignored by both parties and the media is the only one that voted AGAINST the before mentioned policies. His money has mostly come from the men/women in the military and other regular working class folks, not Big Business and the oil cartel. If Americans really want 'change' and not just talk of change..they will research Ron Paul. He has written award winning economic papers, has been a Dr for years (would have some insight on fixing the healthcare system) and has been a Congressman for decades

                      Go to http://electoral-vote.com/

                      Click on "Obama vs McCain" then go back and click on "Clinton vs McCain".

                      Obama is such a winner.

                      One of the things that people writing this forget that McCain is already poised to take that middle 10% that control who wins. Obama is so far left he has to write off those votes and loses. Clinton is more to the right of Obama and better able to go for the middle.
