RE:'Schwarzenegger also likes McCain's support of a nationwide, mandatory cap-and-trade programme to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions blamed for global warming, which has been attacked by fiscal conservatives and which Romney blasted in a debate Wednesday for damaging the economy.'
This silly bullshit has not worked in Europe, so why does anyone here in the States expect it to work? Probably because they do NOT know how badly it has failed in Europe.
You want cleaner air, water and less money going to Muslim Fanatics? Then build nuclear power plants, shutdown coal-fired plants and raise CAFE standards. This cap an trade bullshit is just a way for market monkeys to make a load of money at taxpayer expense.
If McCain represents the leading GOP (as the Old Media suggests) than the GOP is on it's last legs. I say, let it die, but with some dignity. Without a doubt, this is my last year as a Republican.
Want to see McCain look great? Ask yourself: 'What is the alternative?'
If this proves anything about the Republicans, it's how dynamic the party is. McCain is not a conservative, plain and simple. This being the case, I'm not really charged about voting for him, but likely will.
Bush, when he was campaigning, did not sound like a real conservative. It was hard for me to vote for him.
While not satisfied, I got more than I thought I would from Bush, as a republican. True, his lack of a Constitutional Amendment regarding foreign combatants, and his steel tariffs were real disappointments, he actually won some kudos from me. Were it not for the utter hatred by the left, we could have far more menaingful discourse on Bush.
Bush strikes me as a very interesting guy. He really didn't want to be President. When he decided to, he went to the best person he could go to and aksed him all the correct questions. Undeniably, it is a huge asset to have someone you can trust, who had the job before you and has total loyalty to you. Bush then could start out with the proper perspective, and forge a political strategy that worked.
This was why Bush put together such a terrific politcal machine and why he mowed down the competition. Honestly, I cannot figure how some of his opponents just sat on their asses while he beat them!
We think we've heard everything, then there is still more!!
...and there always will be.
Once again, we are going to elect a considerably less than desirable president. There are not any good choices. At least there is hope that we will refrain from reelecting the Clinton Clan.
On another note, we can always hope to replace this:

With this:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Sheehan
If you are going to elect a complete head case, elect one who lacks the stroke to do serious damage to the country.
I don't think McCain should practice standing up to 'Hail to the Chief' quite yet!
In response to Regan Jr., we may never have another president like Ronald Regan. But today, we have the opportunity to elect someone who speaks to people, about whom it all matters: religion, money, and security, the big three in Republicanism. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...RONALD PAUL!!!

It is about time that the progressive conservative side of the Republican party re-claim their leadership from the renegade neocons who took over the GOP.
The myopic, ignorant puppet-masters of the current administration need to be exposed, isolated and expelled from their base of power within the party.
They have not at all acted in the national interest during their reign.
The neocons ridiculous responses to 9/11; not capturing or killing osama bin laden in Pakistan, allowing a huge opium/heroin narco-terrorist state to develop in Afghanistan during our occupation, and perverting the mission into the counter-productive destruction of Iraq, have totally undermined our international prestige, and practically bankrupted our economy.
These idiots are a disgrace to genuine conservative Republicans. I can only hope that authentic Republicans have taken notice of the extreme damage done by the neocon bullies and baffoons, and banish them to the dark shadows and dirty closets where they belong.
