McCain Mocks Romney on Flip-Flopping
by Malini Bawa
John McCain is back on attack against Mitt Romney.
Earlier today, Romney compared the Senator to a liberal Democrat, citing McCain’s cap-and-trade proposal for reducing greenhouse gases, and his support of a comprehensive immigration bill that many conservatives think is amnesty.
McCain fought back, calling Romney a flip-flopper. It’s the same label he’s repeatedly used to mock Romney in the past.

McCain has his own “flip-flops!” Abortion being one of them! Maybe in his old age, he has forgotten what he has said in the past. He is not the solution but a major part of the problem that we as a country are in!!!!!
What McCain LACKS to point out is, as the McCain/Kennedy bill changed to an amnesty Bill, Romney viewd the changes as bad, thus Romney found it to be Amnesty…..
Credit Romney to not support the final Bill……..
The Cap and Trade Bill also changed and became a bad piece of legislation…….Credit to Romney for seeing the changes and not supporting them
Note to McCain, As everyone adds to or removes from legislation that is in the House/Senate they can become better or become worse……Just because you sponsored a Bill is NOT reason to support that Legislation once it has become tweeked by the Lawmakesrs.
You are being dishonest again Johny, you are well aware of the timelines of Romneys support and or lack thereof. Not what I expect of a Prior Officer of the Armed Forces……shame on you!
You know… Romney is flat out just a nicer person hands down.
Rush compared McCain to Clinton with his accusations about Romney. Rush and others say that for a man who says he’s honorable.. he is not acting honorably. Also, Rush is not impressed with how McCain runs on a Republican ticket and yet is obviously rubbing elbows with the liberals. I personally want someone who will not sell us out.
I noticed too that even though Romney does not agree totally with Bush - he always shows his support to him as President of the United States. I admire that. Romney has proven he is honorable and loyal - he has never betrayed his family and he won’t betray our country.
I’ve made up my mind. The more the candidates ‘talk’ the more convinced I am that Romney is the right person to lead our country.
I’ll be voting for Romney - For the People
Great comment David. Well said.
Let us count McCain’s conservative credentials:
-he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy)
-he voted to give your social security money to illegal immigrants
-he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times (he has since flip-flopped and has campaigned as a lifelong tax-cutter)
-he routinely engages in Democratic class warfare against big companies in America
-as recently as December 2007 he admitted “he does not know the economy very well” and needed to get better at it
-he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by ultra-liberal Democrat Russ Feingold)
-he was called the “worst 2nd amendment candidate” by the president of the NRA
-wrote a bill (co-sponsored by his buddy Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Department of Energy, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put 300,000 Americans out of work
-supports radical global warming legislation which involved him voting with every Democrat
-he joined forces with Democrats (Gang of 14) to block the Senate Republican’s attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
-fought with Hillary Clinton to demand that terrorists be given a full American trial
-he joined liberals to fight against a federal marriage amendment supporting the institution of traditional marriage
-campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as “agents of intolerance”
-he filed an amicus brief against pro-life advocates in Wisconsin
-he met with leading Democrats in 2004 to discuss the possibility of being John Kerry’s Vice-President
-ringleader of the infamous Keating 5 ethical scandal which cost US tax payers $160 billion (Google it)
-McCain cheated on his first wife after she had a severe accident. He then divorced her and married his multi-millionaire mistress, whose daddy bought McCain a spot in the Congress
-with most of these positions, unfortunately, McCain hasn’t flip-flopped and vows to fight for these liberal causes as president
I think that Romney will make an honest President. Something that we in the USA will not have with a Democrate in the White House. Romey looks Presidential.
MCCAIN . . . . Against Bush Tax Cuts NOW for Bush Tax Cuts!
MCCAIN . . . . FOR AMNESTY for Illegal Aliens NOW TRYING TO HIDE FROM POSITION!
MCCAIN . . . . Stated ECONOMY Was his WEAK POINT, NOW CLAIMS HE’S AN EXPERT!
FLIP FLOP! FLIP FLOP!
VOTE MITT ROMNEY!!!!
I guess John McCain can do know wrong. That is a bit arrogant of him. He needs to tell us how he is different then the democrats. He is always voting with the democrats, he does not like Bush and he does not listen to the republican voters. Why should I vote for him I’m not a democrat?
I agree with David, and others above. Romney is a gentleman, while McCain seems to be this seething, nasty old puss. I would suggest that when the mike is off, McCain is totally different person, speaking in his “real” voice, not the contrived, “I’m so sweet” one. At the same time, I’d be willing to bet Romney is the same person on or off mike. Transalated: McCain is a bitter, nasty phony. To suggest Romney is a flip-flopper is the height of hypocricy for McCain. He has one thing going for him, spelled POW. I know, very personally, other POW’s . They NEVER speak of it- would consider it dishonorable to brag about that which was endured so honorably. McCain has made a career of it, and as with Kerry’s military service, never let’s one forget it. He seeths still about losing to Bush, and to Republicans who don’t support him in his rightful position, he despises them in a “how dare you” way. That’s why he loves liberals. He knows he can always turn to them and anger those who were once his friends. MCain is like an immature brat- no, he is an immature brat. He has tantrums, and like a little brat, he will leave friends or family and turn to their enemies to “show them”. I’m sick of Mccain. I won’t vote for him. I don’t trust him, and I believe, if he feels he could be elected, would change parties tomorrow. Harsh words, but he is a little egomaniac.
Go Mitt. We need a grown-up Conservative in the White House, not a bratty little lib who will turn on a dime.
I am having major problems trying to post my comments on Foxnews blogs. After I first came to Huckabees defense, it will not let me add anthing else. MOST all of the bloggers are for Romney and are bashing Huckabee and Mccain. It will not let me add anything else.
Wow there we go
The Ugly Truth About McCain (see for yourself):
-Google “the Keating 5″
-Google why McCain ditched his disabled wife for his multi-millionaire mistress
You people have not idea how much Romney has flip flopped on gay marriage and abortion. He is a social liberal. Do your research a little better. He will say anything!!!
http://www.thinkaware.com/search/label/Mitt%20Romney
Watch the Youtube videos then tell what you think
Romney shouldn’t even be allowed to run against Senator McCain.
This is a race between a slimy used car salesman and an American war hero. Hmmm….tough choice here.
I choose McCain!
Mazzygirl
Anyone who researches Romney’s Reocrd will see thru this “flip Flop” label. Read pst headlines and soundbites and really research.
Personal beliefs and having to follow the law are 2 different things and I actually commend him on what he has done.
He won’t ever tell you how different he is from the Democrats because he is one… he said at the Florida debate last thursday that he would put his country ahead of his party every time… well the problem with that isn’t that hes not a Republican its that hes running as a Republican with Democratic Ideals and Goals and willing to sell out every time. But he counts that as his “Bipartisan Nature” BULL is there anything that we can beleive from this guy? He says Romney is a flip flopper, show me how McCain HASNT flip flopped on ANYTHING!
Why dont you Romney supporters look into why Duncan Hunter wont support Romney and why he has chosen to support Huckabee! Romeny is not out for our better intrest! China?!!!Oh thats just great! PLEASE AMERICA we need someone better than flip flopper Romney!
MCCAIN IS NOTHING BUT A NATIONAL TRAITOR. ASK ROSS PEROT. HE IS NO HERO TO AMERICA. HE GAVE UP SECRETS TO OUR ENEMIES IN VIETNAM TO SAVE HIS OWN BUTT. HE’S NO HERO. AND HE’S A LIAR AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. RUSH LIMBAUGH SAYS IF HE WINS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL BE RUINED FOREVER AND I AGREE.
ROSS PEROT SAID NO SELF RESPECTING SERVICEMAN WOULD EVER EVEN SIT AT THE SAME TABLE WITH MCCAIN AND SAID HE IS VOTING FOR ROMNEY IN TEXAS.
READ ABOUT IT.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/94827
Way to vote based off of image only Steve… wake up to the issues and stop looking at what the media wants you to see. if Romney is a used car sales men then McCain is a Dirty old man hardly worthy of the title “Amarican War Hero” I choose to see him as a Relic of the 60’s with no real experience to help the coutnry in anyway. do your research on who can best help the country and stop looking at candidates skin deep.
Romney is pro gay oops I pro marriage, no wait pro gay…pro life….pro choice…wait I lost track
I’m not talking about way back in 1994 either! DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch all of this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNbGNHaNFtw
Mazzygirl,
went and looked at your “Huckabee/antimormon/antiRomney” website…….
“thou shalt not speek false witness against thy neighbor” is all I can say about that…
as for youtube, I guess that seems to be where you get your info, that and your pastor? eh?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43TVmSoaQ7c
Watch this one too
This one is good too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43TVmSoaQ7c
This one is good too..sowhat do you think? Do you need more? Because I have a LOT more from where that come from!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43TVmSoaQ7c
(Mrjimbo, TX) Oh no, really your going to attack Christians? WOW! Why dont you listen to why Ducan Hunter wont support Romeny, then tell me what you think?
So you watched the youtube and your going to say I got this from my paster?
(Mrjimbo, TX) Oh no, really your going to attack Christians? WOW! Why dont you listen to why Ducan Hunter wont support Romeny, then tell me what you think?
Mazzygirl…..
Funny, it IS possible to be prolife and yet support the Law of the land……
I’m prolife, but believe ultimately a woman has a right to choose….
Youtube has a way of “leaving a lot of facts out”
I get my info from more than just soundbites, these “clips” are old news…….
No, I got it from Romney! MAking you a little uneasy is it?
I have lots “soundbites” if you want that. Bring it on!!!
NO,
Christianity is what founded our great country, and I am a christian, but I have a hard time with religious bigotry that is preached from the pulpit, as I have witnessed in the past.
Please, no more YOUTUBE CLIPS……and no more antimormon websites, ok, then I might take your positon a little more serious.
SHow your HATE some more, ok christian……..
I wish you republicans would look at the big picture. Lets elect someone that can win against the democrats. We dont want Hillary or Obama for president. McCain is the only one that stands a chance. Remember Independants vote in the general election and sometimes McCain gets some of the conservative democrats vote too. None of the other republican candidates will.
You are a social liberal! I’m sure Reagon would be proud! There is no middle ground when it comes to a life of a baby…so no, your not pro-life. Women should not have choice to kill a baby no more than a person has a right to kill a adult. That is a life of compromise and you should be ashamed of yourself. Romney had a choice. What did he do? Offer 50.00 copay for abortions with his health insurance. The list go on and on and on.
Huckabee is the only candidate for a human life constitution. He is the ONLY candidate to actually pass legislation to protect the life of the unborn!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO COMPROMISE is what I live by.
Christians should stand up for what is true despite what people say about them….I am not being hateful, but i will say that you are a man of compromise and if you studied the bible you know Paul and Stephen called people out when they were wrong.
McCain is copying GWBush’s 2000 campaign against John Kerry word for word, trying to pretend Gov Romney is the same, because he can’t think or campaign honestly and creatively on his own. Time to retire.
Huckabee breaks the Commandments constantly.
MCCain is not a conservative any longer. I will not vote for a man who has been a Reverend and then speaks lies when he sees an advantage to it.
I have 2 wonderful children that I thank the lord for on a daily basis. It is not my right to force right and wrong on people, for we were brought to this earth to exercise our right to choose right from wrong.
It is my right to vote in accordance to what I believe is right.
I believe that Ramney has the knowledge and experience to bring our economy back.
Romney has my Vote.
Steve
I’ll say to you what Tweety used to say to Sylvester. “He don’t know me very well do he?”
Sir, McCain is a war hero I’ll give you that. Although there are those who say he turned his back on his fellow prisoners. I don’t know so much about that.
But that is not a qualification for President, especially since his political career exhibits one slimy deal after another. His record is rife with foul deals both inside his party and across the line. Whatever honor McCain had in Vietnam he apparently left over there. Whatever, amount of honesty and integrity he had as a Navy Commander he gave up long ago. Nope, McCain sold his soul to the Democrats. Thats why he tried to jump parties some time back. He is a dirty, snake oil salesman who no longer deserves the respect of our citizens much less the men and women in uniform. No matter how much he says it, you mark my words, he is not your friend.
If McCain gets the nomination then the Democrats will no longer care who actually wins the election. They’ll get there way either way!
mccain is the flip flopper,he would be the 3rd democrate in the race who can not stand his own record?even his mom wont vote for him
Mazzygirl, you need to check your facts and should really reconsider these outdated and out of context sound bites.
You can call almost all politician a flip flopper. All have changed stances and positions on at least one issue during their life. If they didn’t they would be ignorant. McCamnesty is the worst one at this.
If you knew history you would realize that Regan would be being called a flip flopper right now too. He is almost identical to Mitt Romney in his stance on abortion. At one point he was prochoice, but later realize prolife was the best way to go.
Mitt Romney is a type and shadow of things to come. He is definitely the most comparable to Reagan.
http://www.massresistance.org
This shows a lot of flip flopping. It has Boston Globe and links to sites that show a little insight.
Please dont compare Reagon to Romney
ROMNEY gets higher National Polls every day.
McCain has too many skeletons in the closet to ever be elected. The Democrats will crush him in a nano-second.
I’m a 30 year navy vet. Sorry McCain supporters, not only does the senator have his own flip-flop issues to deal with, unfortunately he’s tarnished the ranks of the retired Navy vets by setting himself apart in dubious fashion. He is an unadulterated LIAR!!!!!! What he said about Gov. Romney over the weekend amounts to not only a bold faced LIE, but he throws salt on the wound by stating Romney owes the military an apology. Desperation and deceit at it’s best, Hypocrisy and bold faced lying at it’s worst. He is NOT fit to serve as CIC, let alone a US senator any longer. The formerly honorable military man, Sen. McCain, will NEVER get my vote, NEVER. Disgusting, just disgusting…Brian in Omaha.
For some very interesting information, please visit the site below.
http://www.evangelicalsformitt.com
I can’t believe anything McCain says after his weekend distortions of Mitt’s positions. The greenhouse gas thing is the same drill: as I understand their positions, McCain wants the US to act unilaterally to solve global warming, Mitt wants multi-lateral action. That’s not a Mitt flip-flop, that’s a critical difference in policy that shows McCain’s liberal leanings and failure to grasp the difference between having the US pay for global warming vs. the entire globe.
If in doubt over who to vote for, listen to the policy arguments and not the personal attacks. Or even better, watch the debates and see who won: always Mitt in a landslide.
You can create spin on any candidate. Take a look at the candidates that have gotten it done and its easy to see who the leaders are.
McCain is the maverick because he is the first to sell out with the dems on conservative ideas. He is a lib in republicans clothing.
Rudy is good, but is prochoice and would allow gay marriage.
Huckabee is good, but has shown some liberal tendencies. Still good though and much better than McCain. Although he more like Romney than McCain, he still enjoys personal attack against Romney because he has been anti-Mormon for decades.
Romney has been back and forth on certain things, but when he votes he is always on the right side. The only major flip has been abortion and he admits a mistake. He has done more as far as positive productivity in the private and political sector than any other candidate.
To Mazzygirl -
Your reference to massresistance is nothing but a SMEAR CAMPAIGN. I have researched it thoroughly and cross-referenced Public Record. This is some of the worst slander in politics, giving slanted and twisted half truths. Absolutely apalling!!!
Geez, Mazzygirl, now we know why you have problems posting your comments. You probably spam all the other pages with pointless youtube videos too, huh?
Can anyone tell me why Huckabee was listed 6th on a list of 10 for the most corrupt politicians in 2007?
Wow… so you guys actually dont believe he flip flops? Amazing….How can you people buy into his lies? By the way Romney has spent his millions bashing Huckabee, so dont even bring up how Huckabees attacked Romney.
So I guess Duncan Hunter is lieing too? Everyone is lieing but Romney. I get it now.
Why do you Romney supporters feel the need to attack someone who
1.Won re-election twice as Governor of Arkansas
2.Kept the tax burden of Arkansas residents among the lowest in our country
3.Left office with a record budget surplus, after inheriting a deficit
4.Grew the Arkansas economy at a rate higher than the national average
5.Passed welfare reform measures that helped reduce welfare rolls by almost 50 percent
6.For the fist TIME EVER in state history there was a major, broad-based tax cut
7.Passed education reforms that encourage character education in schools, exand the availability of college scholarships, provide for the creation of charter schools and establish a new approach to work force education
8.Passed the property taxpayers bill of rights
9.He completed the largest road construction project in Arkansas history. Truckers magazine labeled the roads in AR as one of the worst now acknowledges AR roads being the most improved
10.THE ONLY candidate to actually pass legislation to protect the life of babies & he is the only one for a human life amendment!!!!!!!!
The list goes on and on
Why is a Huckabee supporter in here anyway?!?
And now we see why “Mazzygirl” had trouble posting….fox needs to take care of her again.
You guys are rude and I am wasting my time with people that are blind to truth.
Mazzygirl -
Go back to school and learn how to spell.
Mazzygirl -
Can you tell me why Huckabee was listed 6th on a list of 10 for the most corrupt politicians in 2007?
Spoken like true Romney fans..I rest my case
No one wants to address the valid points I have brought up here. You guys are all liberals.
Mazzygirl -
Will you please answer my question? Why was Huckabee 6th on the list of 10 of the most corrupt politicians in 2007?
Huck talks to Jesus on his cell phone for humor, also known as tax hike Mike. Mittens change the word tax to fee and raised them $700,000,000 when I was in Mass. and created almost 0 new jobs and gets fed answers at the debate in Fla. He is also buying clear channel. that should help media bias.ala Faux. McInsane doesnt know what the Presidents group on markets is but says he knows the Economy. He scares me the most because I have a 13 year old son that he would draft in a min. and the same platform as Hilary. I have seen to many pictures on the net of Rudy cross dressing to take him seriously. Ron Paul is the only way to save the country if you want that done. The media blackout only tells me he is feared. The Constitution should not make you scared unless you are a NEOCON. GOOGLE HIS NAME DONT BE A SHEEP. EVERY DAY 5 TO 10 AMERICANS DIE IN IRAQ MORE TROOPS AND BILLIONS TO AFGANISTAN AND IF YOU VOTE FOR ANYONE BUT RON PAUL WE WILL BE IN IRAN IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS Save Social Security save our sons and daughters save the dollar save the unborn save our soverinty its a real no brainer Ron Paul 2008.
When will you McCain people get it? McCain has betrayed the Republican Base on so many issues that there are simply too many of us who are furious with him.
Even if he gets the Republican Nomination, thousands upon thousands of us will not vote for him in the general election. We see no difference between him and Hillary or Obama. Go ahead and give him the nomination and watch Hillary or Obama become President. At least they will get credit for ruining the economy and we can have a fresh start in 4 years.
(VOTER) I’ll answer your question as soon as you tell me why Ducan Hunter would not support Mitt Romney
Why was Huckabee rated one of the best Governors?
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1129494,00.html
As someone who works in the pro life movement I find that changing the mind of any pro choice individual is my goal daily. Each time a women who had an abortion, the abortionist who did an abortion, the legislator who voted for abortion changes their mind to become pro life, I say praise God. How eles will we move from pro abortion to pro life and save the 4,000 children that are aborted each day. Thank you Mitt Romney for saying you were wrong and may God use you for the good purpose of ending the killing of children . Any person who uses the abortion issue to berate Mitt Romney or any other person for changing to pro life is neither pro life enough or Christian in teaching. The people who use this as a wedge issue should be questioned as to what is their motive.
If Mitt Romney should be elected I hope he is an example for others to change on abortion too!

I am genuinely interested in an answer to my question. I thought you might know.
(Darlene Wagner) Thats pretty rude of you to assume that I am against Romney because he is now pro-life. Don’t twist my words please. I also work at a Pregnancy Counseling Service, I am against him because he keeps going back and forth. Why would a pro-life republican have a 50.00 co-pay for abortions on his health insurance. Why does he keep changing his mind? I am not talking about the 1st time.
That is so rude of you to claim that I am not really pro-life “enough” or a good enough Christian in my “teaching”. You have no idea the things I have done for the unborn or for the cause of Christ.
I hope we do not have a President that ever waivers on this, that is why I choose Mike Huckabee the ONLY candidate to actually pass legislation to protect the life of babies. He is the ONLY one who supports a Human Life Amendment. As a pro-life believer such as yourself..I must ask why you would vote for Romney? Lets not vote for people that just talk and don’t actually do anything about it.
Lets get this straight he is for traditional marriage but does not oppose gay pride or our children being taught that homosexual behavoir is ok in schools.
What a man of compromise. I believe Keith Green said it best when he said “NO COMPROMISE”
Period
This is not a fair comment

VOTER, I believe I have been asking the question about Duncan Hunter way before your question.
Why not admit, that yes he was rated one of the best Governors. Where are you getting “He was 6th on the list of 10 of the most corrupt politicians in 2007″

Mazzygirl -
The list is from Judicial Watch on the most corrupt politicians of 2007. I’m trying to be objective here.
The $50 co-pay for Abortions in the Massachusetts Health Plan has been brought up before. I think we have to be objective here, too. It was, in fact, Court Ordered and was never part of Romney’s Health Plan. That is in the record.
Can you give me some insight on Huckabee being on the list of most corrupt politicians?

The media blackout only tells me he is feared. The Constitution should not make you scared unless you are a NEOCON. GOOGLE HIS NAME DONT BE A SHEEP. EVERY DAY 5 TO 10 AMERICANS DIE IN IRAQ MORE TROOPS AND BILLIONS TO AFGANISTAN AND IF YOU VOTE FOR ANYONE BUT RON PAUL WE WILL BE IN IRAN IN THE NEXT 4 YEARS Save Social Security save our sons and daughters save the dollar save the unborn save our soverinty its a real no brainer Ron Paul 2008
Hey Mazzygirl,
Thanks for posting this link and saying “Why was Huckabee rated one of the best Governors?”
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1129494,00.html
You will also notice that Janet Napolitano is on that list too. She is one of the most liberal governors in the country. You’ve got a liberal magazine posting this stuff. Huckabee likes to throw personal attacks, give clever sound bites and to hang to close with the liberals. Just another politician.
what amazes me is “if all the feeble-minded voters wouldnt have listened to the MEDIA RIDDEN STORY OF GIULIANIS BAD STRATEGY, none of this would matter..giuliani would have won florida,but because there are so may people who dont have strong convictions, you smart-alecs now get to choose from a republicrat who is a lame-brain when it comes to economics ((by his own admission) and a 27 time flip-flopper of the year !!! you may not like some of giulianis positions(i.e., abortions), but he neverflip-flopped !!! and now you are seeing 2 pre-k kids fighting in the sandbox because one wants the pail AND the bucket !!! being that the economy by65% is the most improtant thing, how can mcain be in the same sentence.. he is an economic moron>>>he passes democratic bills…this is inbelievable !!!! HAS ANYONE EVER STOPPED TO THINK THAT DEMOCRATS ARE LYING WHEN TE POLLSTERS CALL THERE HOMES AND THEY SAY THEY ARE REPUBLICANS, TO BOOST MCCAINS NUMBERS…WE CANT POSSIBLY HAVE THIS MANY MENTALLY SLOW PEOPLE IN THE REPUBLIAN PARTY!!!!

Duncan Hunter is not supporting Mitt mainly because he does not like the fact that Bain Capitol is in the process of selling a company that has a division that has Military propietary assets to Chinese interests.
First. The US Government will not allow any proprietary info to land in the hands of the chinese.
#2, Mitt Romney has not been running Bain Capitol during the proposed sale of this Company.
It is a mute point you are trying to Make.
I wish that Americans were investing in their own country instead of buying up all these foreign goods giving all the foreign Governments and Companies that power to weild over us.

what do you drive?
This is getting sillier and sillier. Come on America let us do what is right for America. Look at McCain’s record. Look at Mitt’s . Who is more for our constitution? Mitt is hands down! Who is trying to take our rights away from us? Look at McCain’s record…
Who is the old school? McCain.
Who is the new guy? Mitt.
Who is more likely to bring about a change for the better? Mitt.
Who is more intelligent? Mitt.
Let’s come together for the good of America. Where is our American Spirit? Let us get it back and become true Americans again. MItt has the plan that we can all get behind. Let’s make him PRESIDENT ROMENY! MITT IN 2008!
Mccain needs to get it strait.. Mitt Romney has shown the ability to learn and grow into the conservative that John Mccain wishes he could be.. Maybe he should worry about his own flip flopping on the Bush Tax cuts and how he offends the Republican Party every time he speaks..
If you are thinking of voting for Mccain remember:
1 MCCAIN-FINEGOLD- it’s killing our party and 1st ammendment rights
2 MCCAIN- KENNEDY- it’s how he really wants to handle ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
3 THE GANG OF 14- his way of attacking conservative judge Alito
4 MCCAIN- LIEBERMAN- now Mccain is joining Dem’s to “go green”
Conservative? GIVE ME A BREAK– Vote Romney
The Ugly Truth About McCain (see for yourself):
-Google “the Keating 5″
-Google why McCain ditched his recently disabled wife for his multi-millionaire mistress
-Google Juan Hernandez, McCain’s immigration advisor
McAmnesty is the dishonest slimeball running for president. How dare he imply that he’s a conservative. RINO more like.. He likes to talk the talk but has never walked the walk. a disengenious slug. He can chuckle all he wants but true conservatives won’t support this feeble “No country for old man”. As a vietnam vet myself I feel slighted that he will say and do anything then use his military career as a crutch. what a joke..
Mitt for responsible economics and immigration…
