The New York Times Endorsed John McCain. “Still, there is a choice to be made, and it is an easy one. Senator John McCain of Arizona is the only Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry fringe. With a record of working across the aisle to develop sound bipartisan legislation, he would offer a choice to a broader range of Americans than the rest of the Republican field.” (Editorial, “Primary Choices: John McCain,” The New York Times, 1/25/08)
Wild Thing’s comment……..
The fact that we’re even talking about John McCain in the context of presidential primaries perplexes me: This is the same John McCain that tried to ram amnesty down our throat about six months ago. This is the same John McCain that keeps conservatives from using their first amendment rights.
This is the same John McCain that derailed numerous conservative judges. This is the same John McCain that was censored by the Congress in the Keating Five scandal. This is the same John McCain that was nearly recalled by the voters of Arizona not that long ago.
I wish to hell he would move across the aisle!!! I would even help him pack his bags!!!! We would finally be rid of him and everyone could see what a flake he really is. Besides, we don’t need crap like this in the true conservative party. Better to throw a bad apple out then let it spoil the rest of the apples.
McCain is the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Beware the grumpy old fart.
And say good-bye to America.
He’ll see us down the river for a few trinkets and promises that won’t be kept.
I guess I’ll have to go with Romney, even though I’ll have to hold my nose.
I don’t like Slick Willie’s either. (isn’t his name Willard anyway?)
John, me too.LOL (getting boxes now to help him move).
I agree about the bad apple too and that is very true how that works like that.
Well if he gets elected I sure don’t want to be on the end of a screaming frenzy of his, or come to think of it of one of Hillary’s either. yikes
Lynn, yes his name is Willard, I never knew that till yesterday.
John McCain is such a fool reveling in support from liberals and yellow rags like the NY Times. It will be McCain’s worst nightmare if he ever gets the nomination. They will turn on him so quick that he won’t know what hit him.
Les, yes and he will do his screams which is not Presidential at all. He will go balistic for sure.
