If McCain was born Mormon, he would have been an afterthought decades ago.

McCain is basically broke. No problem though, since he gets so much free publicity from the media. It sure helps being the favorite of the MSM for the republicans. (you know that, didn't you Civicus?)

Ah, there's nothing like class-warfare from the right.

What the hell does it matter that Romney has money?

Another reason to detest both McCain but especially Huckabee.

If i was born a woman I would be kicked out of every public place I go to for constantly playing with my own boobs.

It doesnt matter what you are born with if you make the decision early in your life to make something of yourself.

(you know that, didn't you Civicus?)He's not broke anymore. He's raising money hand over fist. You cannot believe the stupid theory about the Media wanting McCain so they can actually have a Dim Prez?

They are trying their hardest to scare Repubs (like you) into believeing a load of crap so they can destroy Mitt Romney in the general.

They haven't been able to do him in. They want their patsy McCain(who thinks the libs actually want him to win, I imagine) to get the nomination, so they can rip him to tee-ninetzy little shreads. PAY ATTENTION CIVICUS. If the media backs you and you are a repub...then SOMETHING'S VERY WRONG WITH YOU as POTUS material.

First the media fooled everyone into thinking Iraq wasn't a smashing success.


And now....there's a media conspiracy to hand John McCain the nomination.


The major problem with thwarting this sinister media agenda is, of course....only Rush and his faithful listeners can recognize the grave reality.


that about right?

Heh, I think that two people with competing theories about how the MSMz are trying to subvert the Rep Party (notice I used a proper name as opposed to "Dim", you should try it sometime) by how they are focusing coverage in the short term as they work toward their grand sport of destroying their character in the general election is hilarious on a couple of levels.

It's like a greys v. reptilian debate and who is least likely to be probed.

Hey, that's clever. Significantly more clever than your assertions that "the Media" has somehow gotten together (ratings be damned) to put McCain up on a pedestal instead of Romney (who, supposedly, is media proof and totally electable) in order to help him get the nomination so that they can unleash some information which they all have but are all sitting on (again, ratings be damned) to destroy him and thus assure a Democrat getting into the White House.

Now...I have the support of facts (McCain's well known and supported "War Hero" status and strength of character) while you have your tin hat.

And it's a NICE tin hat. Really.

Where have you been? People who have money and who have been successful in life, are disliked by folks who have very little money and haven't been as successful in their own life.

McCain would cut spending in many areas, not in our military and pass the savings on to the country. Look at tax cuts after that.

He had a voice that was listened to during the Clinton years. But now he's considered just a blow hard.

He's been politically marginalized like Coulter and Moore. The only people who really listen to them (and buy into the B.S. they spew for ratings/money/oxycodone) are the extremists and nutjobs.

Otherwise? Flacid...

He had a voice that was listened to during the Clinton years. But just as always, the left and their media still consider him just a blow hard.

He's been politically marginalized among the far left like Coulter. The only people who really listen to them (and buy into the B.S. they spew for ratings/money/oxycodone) are the extremists and nutjobs, like Dick Cheney, Thomas Sowell and George Will.

Otherwise? Flacid...

Such labels and strong remarks. Why can't folks just respectfully disagree? This goes for all sides of arguments and name calling in this thread.

The one thing that turned me off of many of the talk radio shows was the constant personal attacks to justify political stances. Just because someone's views are different does not make them "Polluted mentally by the air in California" or "Drunk, extremist nutjobs."

Just because Romney has financial backing doesn't make him a terrible nominee. What they call McCain's political maturing process they label Romney's Political Flip Flopping, yet they both changed stances.

I support Romney because I feel he is the most capable of turning this country around economically. I appreciate that McCain will cut spending, but I think cutting taxes right along with cutting spending can expedite the process of getting more money in our pockets, which I find to be a good thing.

Feel free to disagree, but I am completely sober, and am only an extremist nutjob when it comes to topics other than politics. :D... Apparently religion is one. ;)
