   She’s smoking rope if she thinks Clinton is a bigger supporter of Iraq than McCain. Just delusional.

   To pick that issue to harp on, when frankly there are better ones (immigration, I suppose) means she’s officially irrational on the subject of McCain.

   That said, I still have impure thoughts when I see her (she wears sweaters very well), and then I immediately don’t feel very good about myself. See, she brings shame to both parties.

   I would fully support any type of Hillary/Coulter alliance. (I’m talking about ANY type of alliance)

   Lefty

   What candidate raised the most money from military contractors?

   I will give you two guesses and it is between Hillary and McCain. And one more hint it is not McCain.

   Dr. Dobson: I Will Never Vote for McCain

   While John McCain has risen to the top of the heap among contenders for the Republican presidential nomination, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson remains adamant that he will not support McCain’s bid for the White House.

   Dobson, one of the nation’s most influential evangelical Christians, declared more than a year ago that he wouldn’t support McCain under any circumstances, saying McCain didn’t support traditional marriage values.

   A Dobson spokesman told the New York Times’ David Kirkpatrick Wednesday that he stood by that position, and as a matter of conscience could never vote for the Arizona Senator.

   According to the paper, Dobson is joined by a slew of other prominent conservatives who oppose McCain on a number of issues:

   Talk radio host Mark Levin urged visitors to the National Review’s Web site to “rally for Romney” to ward off a McCain win, saying: “Conservatives need to act now, before it is too late.”

   Talker Rush Limbaugh told listeners on Thursday: “McCain is in a lot of these places not actually the Republican candidate. He is the candidate of enough Republicans, but [also] independents and moderates and probably even some liberals.”

   Pat Toomey, president of the anti-tax organization Club for Growth, said in comments reported by the New York Times: “I have yet to see McCain make any attempts to reach out to free market conservatives.”

   Conservatives fault McCain for voting against President Bush’s tax cuts and a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, and for supporting embryonic stem cell research, looser immigration rules and stricter environmental regulations.

   Conservatives were particularly irked when McCain made a deal with Democrats to break a deadlock on judicial nominations, according to the Times.

   Anger over that compromise was rekindled this week when Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund wrote that McCain had privately criticized Bush’s Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito because “he wore his conservatism on his sleeve.” The McCain campaign denied that report.

   Following McCain successes in early primary states, however, other conservatives are beginning to warm up to his campaign:

   Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, who previously opposed a McCain nomination, said: “He has moved in the right direction strongly and forcefully on taxes.”

   Former McCain foe Tony Perkins, a prominent Christian conservative, told the Times: “I have no residual issue with John McCain,” adding the candidate needed to “better communicate” his stand on social issues.

   Richard Land, an official with the South Baptist Convention, agreed, noting that McCain “is strongly pro-life.” He said: “When I hear Rush Limbaugh say that a McCain nomination would destroy the Republican Party, what I want to say to Rush is, ‘You need to get out of the studio more and talk to real people.’”

   Hastert knocks McCain as ‘allied with Democrats’

   by Rick Pearson

   SWAMP-Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert questioned John McCain’s Republican credentials today, saying he was always known among the GOP as “the undependable vote” in the Senate and always “allied with Democrats.”

   Hastert, an Illinoisan who is backing McCain rival Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination, also had a conference call with reporters earlier in the day in which he said the Arizona senator had changed “after the Keating Five scandal.”

   McCain was one of five senators implicated in the 1989 Keating Five, a congressional scandal alleging federal regulators were pressured against an investigation of Charles Keating, the former chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Assn.

   McCain was cited by the Senate Ethics Committee for “poor judgment” but it recommended no further action.

   Speaking later to the Tribune, Hastert, who retired from Congress in November of last year, said McCain changed after the Keating Five to become “more of a populist.”

   “He was gearing up for a run for the presidency in 2000 so he had to change track and clean up his image, from my point of view,” Hastert said.

   The former House speaker has not had a lot of good to say about McCain in recent years. He contended that on agenda items under the Republican-controlled Congress, “it just seems like everything we did, John was someplace else.”

   “It was McCain-Kennedy, it was McCain-Lieberman, it was McCain-Feingold on campaign finance reform,” Hastert said, noting Democratic co-sponsors. “He was against us on tax cuts and his form of immigration reform was to open the gates and let everybody in.”

   Asked if he considered McCain a conservative, Hastert said, “In my opinion, he is not.”

   “He is a moderate,” the former speaker said. “In almost everything he’s done, he’s done (things) against what mainstream Republicans thought and he’s allied with Democrats. He was always the undependable vote in the Senate.”

   Hastert said he got to know Romney when the former Massachusetts governor was brought in to right the scandal-marred planning of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games. Hastert said he was an honorary chairman of the event and, before Romney, “that thing was going downhill faster than someone on skis.”

   “He came in and straightened it out,” Hastert said. “I just think that was real leadership.”

   Hastert said Romney was a true fiscal conservative with strong family values. But he offered no predictions about how Romney would fare on Super Tuesday, which includes the former speaker’s home state.

   “When you have (that many) states as the grand prize in one day, it’s where people happen to be on the crest of the wave at the time. McCain’s riding well right now. I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Hastert said.

   “I think Romney happens to be the right guy. I’m not switching, I’m not changing. I think he would be the best president of the people we have a choice of,” he said. “It was a choice I made through deductive logic. I worked with McCain, I worked with (former Tennessee Sen. Fred) Thompson, I worked with (Texas Rep.) Ron Paul, I worked with (former New York Mayor Rudy) Giuliani after 9/11. I’ve known all these guys.”

   McCain’s campaign thinks they can smooth things over.

   “We look forward to the Speaker’s support in the general election,” said Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser to McCain.

   Out of all this is one important point. The NON-TRUE BELIEVERS, ie, the ones who now flock to McCain, are exposing themselves. Update your lists folks. More TRAITORS are being exposed daily! When we reclaim our nation, the TRAITORS must be excluded!

   Something I always said during my working career is that I always knew I was doing the right thing. I could always look in the mirror! I did not compromise my values, nor did my employer.

   Our legislators work in a cesspool. Look at what they must do to survive and move up. It’s almost an inverted process – to get promoted, they must dive further into the filth and forsake their honesty and values. Maybe that’s why Hastert resigned early – he couldn’t face himself anymore after years of selling himself to the Devil!

    How is that anyone expected more from the GOP?. They, along with the Dems and the MSM, are big government internationalists. The elites are moving this country toward one world socialism and any further trust in either party or any votes for any of their candidates (except Ron Paul)is treason!

    Thanks, Bill,
    Yes, please all, read post #8. Perhaps I’m being self serving, but I think it’s something we all should strive for. But I’m as human (hence imperfect!) as the rest. And I truly know that!

    I must be more regular about my daily prayers to the Lord! (an admittance)

    Ann Coulter is right on target. McCain is a liberal, left-wign RINO.
