FL Governor Crist To Endorse McCain!
OK, looks like McCain is going to be the GOP nominee. Fox is reporting FL Governor Crist has coming out to endorse McCain. Combine that with Sen Martinez I think that will pretty much seal up FL and the nomination for McCain. As I did in 2006, I underestimated the blow back against the GOP on immigration – because that is the only way McCain can be winning this hard. The Amnesty Hypochondriacs have created such a mess that McCain is now the face of the popular GOP. Unbelievable.
I read somewhere that Tom Ridge is endorsing McCain as well. Ofcourse Malkin is using the same tactics against McCain that she used against Bush. The old paranoid conspiracy concerning the secret deal with the Mexicans or some such lunacy.
McCAin may not be perfect, none of us are. But I really think he is the only guy that can beat the Democrats this time. I like Rudy, I think he is a helluva guy, but the Democrats want to win and the GOP needs to stop acting like a bunch of spoiled brats and get it together. Needless to say if they lose however, they will just blame Bush. That is something they have in common with the Democrats.
Have you seen Barnes’s piece on the Surge? It mentions McCain.
This is the article on the surge. It is interesting.
Congratulations to McCain — though I am a little heartbroken by it.
McCain cannot win! Did you not watch the debates? He was barely coherent and no-one was even attacking him. 175 or some such years in the senate and he knows squat about the economy punting the question to I will hire good help.
If the MSM gets him the nomination Hillary will push his buttons til he explodes in a fit of incoherent rage.
The man is a war hero yes! Also a mean-tempered, incoherent, media pandering, wrinkelyol d inside the beltway politician capable of cutting a deal with the devil himself to further his own ambitions.
He will sell out his own party and lie like a bedwetter about Mitt or anyone else for that matter to try to save his hideous run for the leader of these United States, a job for which he is most definitely NOT QUALIFIED.
You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Blowback against GOP on immigration? Ridiculous. Being tough on illegal immigration is the one issue the GOP could have in their favor, but not with McCain. The reason McCain appears to be the likely nominee is because of so-called electability and the large influence of indie voters in the early primaries.
No doubt that the Crist endorsement is huge. I think Romney was looking good and was slightly ahead, but now this will likely give McCain Florida and deliver for him on Super Tuesday, and thus the nomination. I hope not, but it’s looking that way.
Wiley, the American people are in no mood to ship a huge sector of our workforce out of the country. And the Republicans have been complaining that anything short of shipping them out is “amnesty”. The original proposed Senate legislation was a good compromise. The right wing of the Republican party shot it down, and now the Republicans are being made irrelevant.
Great job … stand your ground and find that you have no more ground to stand on. See what kind of immigration bill you are going to get with a Democrat congress AND a Democrat White House. And all your complaining and whining isn’t going to make a pinch of difference.
Thanks a lot.
I also want to say that I think people like Malkin have done more to destroy the Republican party than the Democrats could ever have dared hoped for. She is divisive. She makes you think she is a Republican but her goal is to destroy the party.
Wiley, the Republicans who vote in primaries are rejecting your hard-line position on immigration.
You have two options: Work with those who disagree with you to come up with something everyone can live with, or you can crap in the punch bowl.
Just let us know what you intend to do so we can plan accordingly.
Thanks.
AJ:
Latest Rasmussen poll: Immigration is seen as the top issue by just 12% of Florida’s Likely Republican Primary Voters, but they overwhelmingly favor Romney over McCain by a 63% to 7% margin.
Romney is up six points, but it was before the announcement. This FL race is not sealed but very close! I thought Romney would win — now I don’t know.
Wiley,
I am formulating a post about how the Amnesty Hypochondriacs drove so many people away that McCain is now considered the top option to the base. My one mistake in 2006 was underestimating how badly the GOP looked in the eyes of the voters. While they were irritating me no end I was still standing by them. But I am like the last independent who will bail on the GOP.
And here we are in 2008 and McCain is now the odds on favorite and we will have a battle between Obama and McCain and Obama will win. And he will win because the far right so poisoned conservatism with their inane cries of “RINO” and “El Presidente Jorge Bush” and ” Traitors” from Miers onward that no one is willing to be associated with them anymore.
And this last independent see little hope for the GOP for decades to come. The only way to save the GOP is for the left to run the country into the ditch – that is how badly the hypochondriacs screwed up. They wanted war, they got war. They are now tossed to the sideline. But America doesn’t react in measured steps, they swing quite a distance. So instead of going for a Giuliani they are going all the way for McCain – who can’t win!
I think Romney has a shot at Florida. It is not over yet, the whole thing is still up for grabs. But if Romney wins it will be inspite of and not because immigration.
Hunter:
I can remember the Democrats saying the same thing about Bush in 2004. His debate performance sucks, they have to vote for our guy Kerry. He is so slick, so polished, so poised, so rehearsed, so squeaky clean perfect.
you betcha.
Aj:
You are not the last, I am the last…you are the second last.
Harold,
You are clearly not paying attention. McCain says “he gets it” and has consistently talked tough on illegal immigration since the summer, as have all of the repub candidates.
You & the others have been foaming at the mouth against any & all who speak negative of that awful McCain-Feingold bill. The truth is that most of us so-called “hard-liners” can live with some sort of deal or pathway to citizenship for the illegals already here, but NOT before we stop the flood of illegals that keep coming thru, and not before our infrastructure & beaucracy can properly manage & process everyone. The biggest problem with the bill is that it would have been incentive for many more illegals to come across before we were in position to do anything about it.
The fact is, if we can clamp down on businesses from hiring illegals, and we plug the border leaks, then attrition will take care of many of the illegals currently here. We won’t have to round them up and ship them back by the busloads. Yes, there may be a few that extreme, but I think the vast majority align my posiiton.
ENDORSE MCCAIN ????
WELL– KISS OUR “TAILS” GOODBYE!
BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE IF WE ARE IN IRAQ – ANOTHER 100 YEARS–
