Bush endorses McCain

No, not that one. But, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush did officially get aboard the Straight Talk Express today.

In a statement, Bush praised McCain as a “patriot and devoted conservative leader.” He added, “like no other candidate in the field, John McCain has made tremendous sacrifices for this nation. He is beholden to no interest other than that of the public good. He is determined and steadfast in his commitment to reducing the burden of high taxes, restoring the people’s trust in their government, and winning the war against radical Islamic extremists. It is with pride that I announce my endorsement of John McCain for president.”

Comment by AK Fisherman

Anyone who votes for McCain or any other pro amnesty candidate is selling the american blue collar worker down the river. Jeb is just covering for his brothers ongoing distruction of the republican party. Why not top it off with endorsing a Senator with his name tacked on legislation with such great republicans as Russ Feingold, Joe Liebrman, and Ted Kennedy. Who could possibly ever question his conservative credentials? Silly Voters, he was in the hanoi hilton, so surely that should allow him to dictate that 12 million illegal aliens be granted amnesty. He is a maverick afterall. Does maverick mean democrat in Latin or something?

 
Comment by American Conservative

Jeb Bush is such a sell out. He just sat on the side lines in Florida when he could have officially endorsed Romney since he had been supportive of his campaign. He did not do that because it was not popular. Now that he is out and the phony Turncoat Republican estabishment has endorsed Illegal Mac, he wants in. What a scrub. We need to perserve our borders, language, and culture. If we do that we will remain the world’s Social, Economic, and Military SuperPower. There has to be one country that it, and it better be ours. Here is what I wrote to my local GOP headquaters after being an elected delegate for our county’s convention:

I apologize for not responding sooner to this notice. I am sure you have contacted the alternate delegates by now. However, I was not planning on attending the convention for the following matters: It is sad what has happened to this great party. We are going to have one of the most liberal Presidential nominees this party has ever elected. We have completely abandoned our core principles. After the Democrats in 2004 got their heads handed to them in the House, Senate, and Presidential races, they never abandoned their core liberal principles as ludicrous as they are. If anything they got more fired up towards them. As soon as we won that election, this party, led by the President decided to move left. This is the very reason they lost the House and Senate in 2006. When we start acting like democrats we lose every time. The reason is because we would rather vote for a known liberal than a closet liberal.

In regards to this election season, it is apparent John McCain will be the Republican nominee. I think we both know what he stands for on the most important issues of our day. I want to share my feelings on just one of them. I will never support a man when just a few weeks ago he said he would still sign the same amnesty bill he tried to get passed. He says he “Gets it, I need to secure the borders first” and now I am supposed to believe him when he said he would still sign the same bill. To make matters worse, he has hired Juan Hernandez to his campaign to help with Hispanic relationships. He is a known open borders advocate and makes statements like “Mexico First”. McCain’s headquarters have said he is not a paid advisor but is working for his campaign. If you do not believe me, please call their official headquarters. Having a man like this on board influences how McCain forms illegal immigration policy. I love Hispanic people, and am all for having someone working for your campaign that helps with Hispanic relationships, but to have a despicable man like Juan Hernandez on board who disrespects Americas laws, is just shameful. To think for one minute that illegal immigration is not part of national security is just naive. So when everyone says he is the big hero on National security, but wants to close down Gitmo and give trials here in the U.S. to known terrorist as well as outlaw water boarding, is just wrong. I am sorry, but when you have sub-human people slitting throats and cutting off genitals and feeding it to the captured U.S. soldiers, I have no problem spilling water on a known Terrorist nose to get key information. Especially when we received valuable information from Khalid Sheik Mohamed. This information has saved millions of American lives. We would not have received it had we not used this interrogation technique. I know who do not hear those gruesome things I just mentioned in regards to Al Qaeda’s torture techniques on Fox News, but speak to the soldiers on the battle lines and ask them if they are true.

Here are just a few reasons why I will not be a delegate at our convention and will be leaving the Republican Party and becoming an Independent. We finally had a real conservative on most of the key issues, in Mitt Romney. Yet no one came to his side from the establishment Republicans to endorse him. It would have been one thing to endorse Fred Thompson, the other true conservative, but to rally behind McCain who does not represent the Republicans on the key issues, was just sad to watch. I mean, don’t they get it? Just because the media and broad based national polls said he would be the toughest to beat a democrat, does not mean that will actually happen when it comes time to voting. They said the same thing about Rudy and look what happened to him. He could not even get past the primaries let alone win the General election. No party can win an election without their base. You can use the 04’ and 06’ elections for examples. By nominating John McCain as the Republican candidate to take on the Democrats, will destroy and fracture this party even more than it is right now. I will not vote for a man just because he has a certain letter next to his name. I am an American first, not a Republican!

Hillary — McCain? Hillary — McCain? Hillary — McCain? Hillary — McCain?

Ruin the country fast — slow? Ruin the country fast — slow? Ruin the country fast — slow?

They will both ruin this country, one fast and one slow? They should be the candidate of the, “Assisted suicide Party”. They will both kill our country.

At least Hillary does not say she is a Republican when she is not.

Ummmm….Thompson endorsed McCain. Ok look Romney fans. I know you are hurt. I know you are in mourning. I know you are angry that your man didn’t get the call. But look….the Republican party doesn’t revolve around the hard-liners now like it has in the recent past. I don’t blame you for being upset that the guy you liked wasn’t embraced by the rest of the party but you guys really sound like children throwing a tantrum because they got a grape lollipop when they wanted a cherry one.

Now if you want to vote Democrat to make a point…go ahead. Remember that when Hillary/Obama has the power to appoint 3-6 ultra-liberal judges to the Supreme Court for life that you made your point. When your taxes increase and you write a bigger check to the IRS or see less in your paycheck just smile because you made your point. When terrorists strike somewhere in the world and Obama says to them “now let’s just sit down and talk about it.” Be happy that you made your point. You guys are getting a little taste of what moderates have had to endure as you ram hard-liner after hard-liner down our throats. Sucks doesn’t it? Well even when moderates like myself rolled our eyes and held our nose as we voted for Bush we were smart enough to realize that Bush was bad….Gore and Kerry were worse and we were not going to chop off our leg because we didn’t like our toe.

Now mourn your little hearts out, then grow up and get with program.

Scott:
I find it funny guys like you call me a hard liner. Could you please tell me what I said in my post that was a hard line stance? Please read my whole post. You are telling me that a guy who suppressed free speech with McCain/Feingold ( and by the the way goes against the constitution). Was the co-author of an amnesty bill. And do not tell me the whole speech that it was not an amesty bill. It is one thing to vote blindly on a bill, but to be the co-author is another. You tell me that I should not be worried about my taxes going up under McCain. When he just had a last minute conversion to uphold the Bush tax cuts. Never did he say when he voted against them that it was due to spending. He used the same rhetoric as the Democrats that it would help only the wealthy. But then again, he never got into the private sector becaused he cared more about patriotism not for profit. It is to bad I am not patriotic because I work in the private sector. Maybe, I should vote for him because he has aligned himself with Juan Hernandez. If you read my earlier post, you would have gotten a little idea of what this guy is all about. But guys like you would say I made that up because Fox News has not told you that. Of all the Hispanic leaders, can you explain why he chose him? In regards to judges. Is he going to appoint judges that are going to repeal McCain/Feingold that clearly goes against the constitution? He will appoint moderates at best. And we know how moderates have voted in the past. If you read my earlier post, you will know my feelings about his stance on the war on terror. The reality is none of Democrat canidates will bring home all of the soldiers right away. It is rhetoric to appeal to their base. One, it would be political suicide. There would be such an outrage from the American people and more important the American military, that they would back down as Commander in Chief. I think I have made it pretty clear that Illegal Mac is no different from any of the democratic nominees. Again, how am I a hard liner? Because I care about my country and the principles that have made it great over all these years.

Who cares? Bush is pro-amnesty. All the Bush clan is pro-amnesty. Not voting for McCain even if he is endorsed by Hillary or Obama or by everyone else who wants to endorse him! Definitely not voting for Huckabee, either! I will write Romney in here in Texas. Come November - I am staying home!

 
Comment by Wendy

Scott - you can say all you want but I will not vote for McCain nor Huckabee. So what if the Democrats win the White House? At least, they will be blamed for all the doom this Country is heading into! As for me, I will stand on my conservative principles. It is not a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil no matter how you spin it. McCain is dishonest. So is Huckabee!

Comment by Carl

Anybody catch the Wallace interview with President Bush? I thought our president had all the right answers. He answers to the best interest of our country, not the left or the right. That’s what a president is supposed to do.
He saved Iraq and Afghanistan from the brutal tyranny and oppression of Hussein and the Taliban, respectively. He brought the terrorist state of Libya back into full diplomatic relations with the US. We have not suffered a single terrorist attack since 9/11. And the comportment, dignity, and grace shown by George and Laura Bush is unmatched in modern history.
It is disgraceful how some of the media have portrayed a great president.

 
Comment by Wendy

Romney inspired me as I have never been inspired by a candidate before. Romney reminded us we are the best country in the world and was not ashamed to say so. He remnded us of the principles which were most important to our founders. He was a bigger man than his critics who envied his success, money and beautiful and supportive family.

When I learned that the Democratic National Comittee (DNC) was publishing and posting more “hit pieces” on Romney than all other Republican Candidates combined I knew we had found the man who terrified the Democrats more than any other. Unfortunately, Romney was also seen by the mainstream media as a clear and present threat to the Democrats. Immediately taking their cues from the DNC Romney was given the “flip flopper” moniker. In reality, he has changed no more than any other candidate. The dems hired a mascot in a dolphin suit to follow Romney to events. This was a man they must stop early. The lowlife element of our party took up the ball and ran with it, to our party’s everlasting shame.

What was most nas most naseauting was the sarcastic media references to Romney’s family as coming “straight from central casting.” These statements questioning Romney’s authenticity were a sad commentary on how far our culture has sunk. Apparently Romney needs to have a few divorces, affairs, drug problems or estrangement from his children to “be real.” The Clintons, Guilian with his affiars and estrangemet, Huckabee with his felon son, and McCain with his military demerits and affair on his disabled wife–none of these candidiates had their “authenticity” questioned. It really spoke to the distance between the family background and experiences of the hardened press corps and Romney more than anything else. A sad, sad difference.

His candidacy was not a waste of money because he raised the political discourse and got his name out there. The hit pieces will be old news next time around and he will win.

Without a doubt. Romney is the most intelligent, articulate, educated and accomplished candidate for President in my lifetime. I will support him in all his endeavors.

Another gutless pseudo- conservative party hack bites the dust.Everytime one of these establishment Republicans sings the praises of John McCain’s conservative credentials I wind up re-evaluating theirs.Cross Jeb Bush off the list of potential saviors of the party in 2012.Another Bush disappoints the conservative movement.

Huckabee for President
True Change

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1. With ten-and-a-half years of experience running state government, Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas has more relevant executive experience than any candidate in the race – either Republican or Democrat.

2. Recognized and tapped by his peers for leadership, the National Governor’s Association selected Governor Huckabee as it’s Chairman.

3. TIME Magazine honored him as one of the five best Governors in America.

4. Governor Huckabee is a fiscal conservative who cut taxes almost 100 times in the state of Arkansas, including the state’s first broad-based tax cuts, and turned a $200 million deficit into an $850 million surplus.

ISSUES
1. TAXES/ECONOMY –Governor Huckabee supports The FairTax because it will restore the “Made in America” label, making American goods 12-25% more competitive, boosting economic growth, increasing our exports, and securing American jobs. It also prevents criminals or illegal aliens from avoiding taxes, and makes the taxes we all pay 100% transparent.

2. GOVERNMENT SPENDING – Governor Huckabee is committed to reducing government spending. One way he’ll do this is by reducing the cost of welfare. Governor Huckabee will work with states to reduce welfare roles through programs like the one he implemented in Arkansas, which reduced welfare roles by 50%.

3. HEALTH CARE –Governor Huckabee will implement a consumer-based healthcare system that emphasizes preventative medicine and wellness. Because 70% of our $2 trillion dollar healthcare costs is spent treating chronic, preventable diseases, this approach will make healthcare more affordable for everybody while keeping us healthier.

4. FAMILY VALUES –Governor Huckabee supports a federal constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. He Successfully fought for Arknasas’ marriage amendment and strongly supports a similar, federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

5. IMMIGRATION –Governor Huckabee will secure the border (with physical barriers, electronic surveillance, and more border-patrol personnel and detention facilities). He will also end sanctuary cities and increase penalties on, and enforcement against, employers who hire illegal immigrants. Governor Huckabee will make sure the border patrol has adequate funding to end our “catch and release” system so that everyone caught trying to enter illegally, overstaying their visa, or committing a crime will be held until they’re tried, convicted, and deported. Gov. Huckabee has also signed the Numbers USA “No Amnesty” Pledge.

6. WAR ON TERROR AND IRAQ – Governor Huckabee knows it takes a large, well-equipped military to ensure our national defense and to deter conventional military confrontations. He also knows we need large, well-equipped intelligence and Special Forces operations for our national offense – so we can effectively find and eliminate terrorist threats at home or abroad. Governor Huckabee will be a Commander in Chief who knows that IF WE HAVE TO FIGHT A WAR, our President has to fight it the way our GENERALS tell him it can be won, not the way we want it to be won.

7. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE –Governor Huckabee will implement a program to end the import of foreign oil in the next ten years by increasing domestic oil production in the short term, and then replacing oil-based energy infrastructure with alternative and renewable energies.

8. CLEMENCIES – Arkansas Governors grant clemency, but the parole board grants parole. Wayne DuMond’s parole was granted by the board and NOT Governor Huckabee.

9. TAXES –When Governor Huckabee left office, the tax rates remained exactly the same as when he first came into office. Governor Huckabee returned almost $400 million to Arkansas taxpayers, and he also DOUBLED the standard deduction for individuals and married couples, DOUBLED the childcare tax credit, and eliminated the marriage penalty. He also repealed capital gains taxes for home sales, lowered the capital gains rate by 25%, expanded the homestead exemption, and set up tax-free savings accounts for medical care and college tuition. Gov. Huckabee has also signed the Americans for Tax Reform’s pledge not to raise taxes.

10. SECOND AMENDMENT-
• Lifetime member of the NRA, member for over 15 years
• First Governor to have concealed-carry permit
• Removed restrictions on carry permit holders
• Protected gun manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits
• Opposes reauthorization of the Assault Weapon Ban
• Opposes expansion of the unconstitutional “Brady Bill”
• Opposes waiting period for purchase of firearms
• Opposes background checks on private firearms transactions at gun shows
• Will nominate judges who interpret the constitution as the Founders intended, rather than as a “living document reflecting current political trends or opinions”
• An avid hunter and conservationist, and a member of the Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation and BASS.

 
Comment by Scott

In addition to Life Liberty and the pursuit of happiness which I agree with whole heartedly I would like to remind all you McCain SHEEP as was explained on the factor by Carl Rove. McCain was most likely to pull over democrat voters in his direction. What Rove failed to explain is the real reason which is….McCain is a friken democrat in Republican clothing. He’ll step allover the 2nd Amendment. He’ll vote with the Dems on immigration and anything else Ted the drunk wants him to. He was in so many words endorsed by Bush, our good president who just threw that Army Sniper to the wolves. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

Comment by Houstonian

I agree with American Conservative. In Florida, I kept waiting for someone to come forward and endorse Mitt Romney. McCain got alot of support and he won in a state with “winner takerall delegates”. This gave McCain much momentum. I will vote for Mitt Romney in the Texas primary. I will not donate to the Republican party due to the way they treated Mitt Romney. I hope the the party leaders will get smart in 2012. Hopefully Romney will decide to run again.

 

[...] how the Right hates McCain, I’m hearing that Bush plans to hand him his seal of approval.  His brother’s paving the way.  Of course, the current President has never had a great grasp on property rights… [...]

 
Comment by Debra Harrington

Relax everyone, Gov Bush’s wife is cuban or mexican, anyway it probably has to do with the immigration issue, because Gov and Pres Bush with McCain tried that Amnesty Bill that no one liked. Remember? It looks like the scare tactics are working on some people. Please, just let us (ALL Americans) vote, thank you. Just because the money bags have already put their money on McPain, doesn’t mean the rest of us have got to fall all over each other to vote for who we are being pressured to vote for. It doesn’t matter to everyone who endorses who, and some of those polls out there, I believe are over inflated, much like the ones that said Pres Bush didn’t have a chance in the last Presidential election, and he ended up winning by a landslide - remember that? We know that is just to put pressure on the rest of us. Right now there are four choices, all but one scare the rest of us to death, and if it is so important, then why are all states in the U S not able to even vote until June? Is that fair to them? I think the hyperactive people out there need to relax and take a chill pill. Whatever happens, whoever is left standing against the democrats will end up having the conservative vote, please… look at the other choices we have. In the mean time, please just let us have our one little vote that we deserve, then we will rally - OKAY.

John McCain is yet another Washington-Insider, CFR, Pro-Abort, Open-Borders, Anti-Free-Speech, Establishment front-man dutifully willing to serve the interests of his masters among the New World Order Illuminati globalist elites who seek to ruin the sovereignty, strength, economy, morals, military, familes, faith, and freedom of America, so that we will be forced to bow our knees to their North American Union (like the European Union), and their new currency (the amero, instead of the dollar) common to Canada, the U.S., and Mexico

An article from:
The Daily Princetonian

Mike Huckabee
By Ephraim Chen
Contributor
Published: Thursday, February 7th, 2008
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is a genuine, honest man of principle who connects with people on a personal level. It is clear that his commitment is not to gaining power or to advancing an agenda as a politician, but to humbly serving the people as their president. He does not ignore the common folk outside of society’s elite establishment, but rather he understands the needs of every American.
His ability to lead and to achieve results is evident from his more than 10 years as governor of Arkansas, where he was able to cut taxes nearly 100 times with an almost entirely Democratic state legislature. He is unmatched by any other candidate in the race in terms of executive leadership experience, and Time Magazine honored him as one of the five best governors in America. Further, his skill for communicating clearly and passionately can unite America internally and with other countries.

I can trust Huckabee to defend this country from our enemies because he understands the nature of the war on terror and the need to secure our borders. He has a record of preserving moral values from decaying within society and is determined to appoint federal judges who interpret the law, not legislate from the bench. He will also practice fiscal conservatism and work to implement the Fair Tax, a national sales tax, and stop penalizing the populace’s productivity with other taxes.

As Huckabee has said, his personal faith defines him and thus will give him the inner strength he needs to endure in an office as grueling and demanding as that of the U.S. president. I can sense his sincerity of heart and soundness of character by listening to what he says, watching how he presents himself, how he treats others and how he reacts to what life throws at him. He has temperately suffered the animosity laid against him by many in the conservative establishment, patiently dealt with unfair scrutiny of his religious background and endured the loss of public exposure to his message due to biased coverage by some in the mainstream media.

Despite being outspent by his rivals by tens of millions of dollars, he remains competitive in this modern political race because his message is needed by the American people. The sheer strength of his grassroots support base and its traditional volunteer efforts have brought him to this point. I can say that Huckabee is someone of whom I can really approve and not just a lesser of two evils. He is a proven leader with a vision that can inspire this nation if he is given the opportunity to be the 44th president of the United States.

I just read a article on worldnetdaily about McCain and his connection to George Soros (Moveon.org) I knew that if he was in Congress that long he would have connections to Globalists, Liberals and open borders advocates like Soros, and T. Heinz/Kerry.

This man is not what he seems.

Your response furthers my point. I live in a border state and I am against amnesty as well. However the reality is the United States government is not going to round up every kitchen and farm worker and toss the on the other side of the nearest border. It’s not realistic, it’s not practical, and the Democrats who currently control Congress would never allow it to happen. What is often misunderstood in McCain/Kennedy is that a FAR more liberal and permissive amnesty bill was being developed by the Democrats. Senators McCain and Kyl got on board because it appeared to have support an their way of thinking was to at least make it a compromise that included border security and other conservative viewpoints as well instead of the disaster the liberals would have brought on. In retrospect it was still a disaster but it represents the willingness to compromise. You say he will appoint moderate judges….would you rather have Hillary and Obama’s LIBERAL judges? That is why I consider you (and others) a hard-liner. You do not appear willing to compromise at all on this and other issues. Standing on your principles is fine but when you do so inflexibly now it becomes stubbornness and that does nothing more than further the “Hatfield and McCoy” environment currently in Congress.

As I said…fine…stand on your conservative principles and don’t vote. The point I am making is that when you lose more by doing so now you are just just “principled” you are “stobborn”. Six Supreme Court Justices over the age of 67 including Scalia. Out of those it’s likely that in the next four years alone about four of them will retire. Some say McCain will appoint moderates Justices…well what do you think Hillary and Obama will appoint? Their nominations will be writing law from the bench every time and with the liberals that are already on the Supreme Court it will give the democrats control of the Supreme Court for some 20 years. So my point is…what is worse for your principles? McCain for four years or a liberal Supreme Court for 20 years?

Some say McCain can’t be trusted on taxes. Well you KNOW Hillary an Obama will raise taxes. Heck they have admitted they would do so…a lot. What do you think “shared responsibility” means anyhow?

You say let the Democrats doom the country. Great plan. Sounds a lot like the Democrats “cut and run” policy on Iraq. Just give up and surrender because it’s not going your way. If the hard-liners were smart they would support McCain because a moderate conservative is better than an ultra-liberal. Then they would aggressively go after seats in Congress in order to give the GOP a majority again and let Congress pressure McCain with refusal to pass his legislation that does not meet given criteria as he has said in regards to pork. If the hard-liners do that they can have majority control of all three branches of government and the Supreme Court for 20 years. THAT benefits your principles.

Now voting is a right not an obligation which means you have the right not to choose. If you choose NOT to choose based on your precious principles that’s fine. But don’t cry when the Supreme Court begins writing liberal policy from the bench. Don’t cry when you pay more out of your paycheck for new taxes. Don’t cry when terrorists are emboldened because Obama can’t figure out that “no we CAN’T just get along”. Don’t cry when the borders are flung wide open. You will at least have your principles.

That is why we with conservative principles Win elections and also why we LOSE elections.

If the majority of US would actually take a stand then this country wouldn’t be going the wrong direction.

Comment by Shelby

I COULD NEVER VOTE FOR MIKE HUCKABEE BECAUSE OF WHAT I’VE LEARNED ABOUT HIM

Many would question whether Mike Huckabee is a true conservative; I would question whether he is even a true CHRISTIAN! For an ex-Baptist preacher, the man sure has a potty mouth! Re: where to put the flag pole if anyone disagreed with his position on the Confederate flag, and also considering the risqué music/song lyrics used by Huckabee and his band, Capitol Offense. Imagine the pastor of your church singing H*y Tonk Woman or Devil With a Blue Dress (song lyrics would be offensive to many) (www.irdial.com/blogdial/?p=909).

Huckabee has a history of corruption and lack of ethics and is one of two republican presidential candidates on the list of TOP TEN MOST CORRUPT POLITICIANS of 2007 (www.judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-announces-list-washington-s-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2007). One example, after being married for 30 years, Huckabee set up a WEDDING registry at Target for him and his wife to receive gifts for their house. The wedding registry was a way to avoid ethics laws prohibiting gifts to politicians.

Huckabee has also spawned a son who stoned and hung a dog to death. David was fired as a Boy Scout’s counselor for disobeying the “Be Kind” rule. Daddy Huck hindered the police investigation of David for animal cruelty. (www.newsweek.com/id/78241) This should bring pause to anyone thinking of voting for Huckabee. Family animal cruelty issues often times indicate other problems as well.
His personality is described at Wikipedia as petty, thin-skinned, self-righteous, and somewhat vindictive (www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Huckabee).

He could never win in a general election. Imagine his Confederate flag flap being played over and over in the Dem’s TV ads. And he wants to amend the Constitution to his religous agenda. This would alienate too many moderates and independents. If you vote for Huckabee you will be wasting your vote.

Scott:
My friend, I do not compromise my principles because some party tells me to. As I have already stated in my earlier post, their is no difference between the two leading democrap candidates and Illegal Mac. Again, please read my full post. You tell me things like ” the United States government is not going to round up every kitchen and farm worker and toss the on the other side of the nearest border” This is what both illegal mac and the democraps say in regards to illegal immigration. Once again, no difference between the two. I never once said that in my post by the way. No true conseravative has ever said we do that, so quit the liberal rhetoric. Just a side note. One of Illegal Mac’s main financial contributors is the founder of a major Spanish Television network. So it makes sense to all this pandering to the open boarders crowd like Juan Hernandez. But, then again, I made that up to. You need to do a little more research than just listening to Fox News for all your information.
You tell me that Illegal Mac’s judges would be more conservative than Hillarys or Obamas. I can assure you they would be moderate at best. Moderates do not vote conservative. Take a look at the voting records of the past 20 years of moderate judges. They are rarely different than liberal judges. So, the only thing Illegal Mac has to run on that would than align itself with the Republican party would be judges and pro-life issues. I have already adressed the judges issue and he has had a sketchy record on pro-life issues. So I ask you, where is the difference from Illegal Mac and the Democraps? You may be willing to comprimise your values but I will not. Even if I have to lose every election. The second you start giving into this crap, the second it becomes mainstream. And guys like you say we are hard liners because we will not comprimise on the most basic yet serious issues of our day. Illegal Mac does and so it is fitting that you would support a man like him. When has a democrap stepped across the aisle and embraced a conservative issue and stood by it. Not to many and definetly not any of the Democratic Presidential candidates. Eventually, once liberals like Illegal Mac and the Democraps have weakend our country to the point of breaking point, there will be a major revolt to restore what has made this country great, conservative principles. You can use Jimmy Carter for an example. Conservatism equalls Americanism and is what made our country great over all these years. As a wise man once said, ” Liberalism is a mental dissorder.” Take a look at what is happening to our society if you want living proof.

To Whom It May Concern;

Before we, the American people, consider putting Senator John McCain in the white house, there are some things to be considered. When my family contacted him on three different occasions about violation of our Constitutional Rights, we did receive correspondence back on all three. The bottom line is he did nothing to help us. My father is a Korean War Veteran. I only mention this because it is used by Senator McCain in his campaign. So apparently it alone is supposed to stand for something.
A doctor and his wife, Arizona Residents, filed a dependency petition in AZ for 2 minor children that were residents of Nevada. Not only did AZ have them brought to the petitioners but they also did not tell NV that they were residents of the state. AZ also never contacted the immediate family and when the family found them on their own, the state refused to process them. The Korean War Veteran I spoke of is the Paternal Grandfather to these children. The Attorney General’s office in AZ have stated in federal court documents that “at all times have acted Under a Color of Law.” I guess baby brokering is legal in the state of Arizona! The children have been adopted by these people and the immediate family has been severed (even though we passed a home study in Florida).
If Senator McCain cannot help protect the rights of one family how will he run a nation. (copies of letters from Sen. McCain upon request)

[...] McCain picked up another high profile endorsement, this one from the President’s brother and former Governor [...]
