Democrats 'worried' about McCain? No more than they are worried about any other Republican candidate.
You are so rabidly pro-McCain you are blinded by the reality that Republicans for the most part bring a message of fear and distrust of teh world through issues of immigration, security, and most of , in the case of McCain, Iraq that Americans who think and vote would not or could not vote for them. Have a Republican bring a messgae of a hopeful future and perhaps there could be a shift, but we both know that will never happen. All you have to offer is the boogeyman and hate Hillary. Those are not the messages that will win this or any election.
Here's your message of hope:
Republicans promise America safety from terrorists who roam the world looking for easy targets.
Republicans promise a strong security, military, and defense.
Republicans promise victory where Democrats see only defeat.
Republicans promise a relief from the overtaxed burden most of us carry.
Republicans promise a secure border and laws that are obeyed.
Republicans promise a continued economic future with less govt, less regulation, free trade, and less taxation.
Republicans promise school choice for parents trapped in inner city schools.
Republican promise a committment to the sanctity of human life. A promise to appoint judges who understand that without the right to life, no other rights matter.
Republicans promise not to let radical activists push their social agendas down American's throat and protect the institution of marriage.
So take your black covered glasses off that so blind you. McCain or Romney will win this nomination and Hillary will lose.
Which is the greatest message of hope there is.
In order:
1)nobody can promise that. They, like the Democrats can pledge to try. But that hardly constitutes a promise, nor the reason to vote Republican, as that is the most basic expectation of any President.
2)see #1.
3)Victory? by whose definition ? At what cost? And victory over what? Define yourself and your passions here.
4)I can't speak to your 'burden' but I'm not crying out in dsespair, nor I suspect are you. Thaui actually goes along with the upcoming #6, to wit,all those economic panaceas(by your vision) are hardly made clear by the current crop of 'spend-til-you-drop' Republicans. What prosperity they in the past 8 years have accmoplished has been at the future cost of children and grandchildren.
5)'nuff said. Republicans are interested in cheap labor and maximizing profits, not in homeland prosperity. the evidence is all around you.
6) see #4
7)School Choice? at the expense of public schools, which only further straps the public school system, lowering the standards evwen further. But, then again, why would you want your children to be educated where evolution is taught, where they might see somebody of color in a positionof other than servitude, or where they might hear a language other than English. I guess you're right here by those standards.Bring on the vouchers, build up and support schools which are indirectly funded by public moneys but are in no way naswerable to or responsible to any standards of education. Hip-hip-hooray!
Right to life? And judges commited to that mantra? And to hell with the rights of the mother? To hell with teh sanctity of a doctor-patient relationship. No thanks. Republicans promising smaller government, but interjecting themselves into the most intimate aspects of our lives?
9)Republicans carry their own sack full of social manipulation and agendas. Marrriage? not the room to discuss that here, but I will point out that heterosexuals have done a hell of a job in that area, too. If Bill and Joe decide to be married, it doesn't affect my marriage. And how aboput atheists and agnostics? Wiccans? Are they subject to your closed system of the sanctity of marriage as defined by religions in which they don't believe?
My glasses arent black, nor am I blind. What I am is disgusted. With the hypocrisy of the right , with the sanctimonious breast beating of how Sen. Clinton would be the downfall of our society. With teh polrizing speech and attitudes of both sides, but, frankly, from my perspective of over 55 years of observation, mostly from the right. So i urge you to polish up your specs and be ready to be supportive of our new President when she is elected.
Your comment not only exposes your ignorance of Republicans but your ignorance of my life.
You are a part of the culture of death and you can't see past it to anything else.
You tried to see another candidate beating Hillary....I don't think so...you have been pro-McCain since coming back and your bias shows everytime you speak of another candidate.
Go Fred Go!!!!!!
I like Fred and would be happy to support him if he got the nomination, but he just hasn't run a very effective campaign.
I have always been honest about my support of McCain.
Sparkle, I think you are not looking at this one clearly. Thompson is the only one without any major warts. McCain can't possibly overcome his positions on some of the most "hot button" subjects but he might make an excellent vice president. These are the only electable ones and I hope Fred is on the top of the ballot. I really think that this is going to come down to a "brokered" convention and I think that Fred will be the compromise candidate.
Dave,
Thompson may be the one without warts, but he hasn't fired up the base. I wish he had, but I don't see it.
Things are crazy though. Anything could happen.
