A McCain presidency for Liberals
Since losing to George W. Bush in the 2000 election cycle, Sen. John McCain may finally get what he's desired, since beating former Massachusettes Governor Mitt Romney in Florida, and picking up endorsements from Rudy Giuliani, and governor Terminator to become the so-called (current) front runner.
Conservatives Need to Rally for Romney, to stop John McCain and his liberal friends from taking-over the U.S. Government and killing the Reagan coalition.
McCain resorted to lying about what Romney said concerning timetables in Iraq, claiming falsely that Romney was in favor of a deadline for troop withdrawal. Romney never said he wanted that, only that timetables should be talked about in private as the Iraqis take over security. Romney shot back that McCain used "dirty tricks," which he did, much like the late president Richard Nixon did.
If McCain wins, he would have won on lies, which is typical of leftist politicians.
"Spending was not the reason why McCain said he opposed President Bush's tax cuts in 2001 and 2003." See: McCain Changes Story on Tax Cut Stance.
In 2001, McCain said the $1.35 trillion tax cut benefited the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
McCain said then:
"I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who most need tax relief."
This is the same failed class-warfare rhetoric liberals have tried to use against conservatives, and it has been proven wrong by the growth of the economy since the tax cuts were implemented. The effect of which brings in more money to the government in taxes from consumer spending, not government spending. Which is why more tax cuts are needed to keep the economy rolling.
McCain tried but failed to amend the bill to reduce income tax cuts for the wealthiest and give greater benefits to those earning less. He and Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island were the only Republicans to oppose the 2001 tax cuts.
At the time, McCain was still at odds with Bush, who had dealt McCain a stinging defeat in the race for the GOP presidential nomination just one year before.
I like Romney's idea of giving workers past age 65 and over the added benefit to keep all the money they make, without being taxed on their wages.
This may turn out be the first election ever without a Governor in the contest after Super Tuesday, and may well spell disaster for the nation as none of the final contenders will have any executive experience required to be president. This is why Governors make better presidents than senators, they have actually run a state, and understand what is involved. America doesn't need a president that needs basic training running government.
The last senator to become president was JFK, as Democrat senator Barack Hussein Obama has been copying for months, right down to his mannerisms. Yes, the left still wants to bring JFK back from the dead, reminiscing over those Days of Camelot that ended in tragedy by the grassy knoll.
Democrats also see Obama as being far more likable than McCain in the general election. Young vs old, tall vs short, etc. Liberals and most Democrats always vote based on looks over substance, emotions over logic and power over people.
What we can expect from a Clinton or an Obama presidency will be socializm disguised as freedom, large tax hikes aimed at businesses and the middle class, reducing economic growth if not stalling it comletely. The military would be cut like it was under Bill Clinton, thus leaving us open to more terror attacks in the future, and liberal, activist judges appointed to keep the baby slaughtering industry of Planned Parenthood's oxymoron's alive and well.
Obama has received the grand endorsement of JFK's brother Senator Ted Kennedy and JFK's daughter Caroline, who said Obama would be the first president to inspire her like her father did for others. Barack's rhetoric is all the more deceitful as it tickle's their ear drums.
The little "maverick" is a little-hot-head who loves to go against the grain of conservatives. He loves to appease the left while dissing the right for his friends in the liberal media.
If McCain ends up as the nominee, we may have an old war horse in office with the war in Iraq winding down, who knows very little about the economy, (exposed by Sen. Ron Paul during the Florida debate) that could be headed for recession. Does this make sense?
Not at all, and this is why demonrats are loving it.
President Bush is chomping at the bit to sign the stimulus plan coming from Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that gives illegals making unreported incomes tax rebates without having paid income taxes. This appalling money making scheme is a give-away to be taken advantage of by criminals, that could even make some honest American's decide to declare themselves as illegal Mexicans if their finances get too tight.
Should the economy go into recession later this year or early next year, a president McCain would become essentially the demonrats puppet, and more so than ever, caving to the hysterics of Al Gore and his liberal misfits to raise taxes for non-existent global warming. Does McCain remember what happened to the first president Bush after he raised taxes?
McCain will also follow president Bush by allowing more illegals into the country to suck away social security money they never paid into, as Bush feels this is somehow good for the U.S. economy, and future generations.
With either McCain or one of the dems in office, America is headed further into unchartered territory, so hang on for a wild ride like never before.
Vote for Mitt Romney, and stop McCain's Train Wreck Express.

Florida Debate, Winners and Losers
It appears that the Republican race has come down to two, Romney and McCain, er McCan't, as I like to call him.
The winner of the winner take all Republican Florida debate was Governor Mitt Romney. Mitt won easily with his vast knowledge and vision for America. The other candidates pale in comparison, especially John McCain, who looked lost on economic questions, having voted for against the Bush tax cuts twice and now supports their permanency. Ron Paul made McCain look like a deer in the headlights on economic policy, as McCain kept blabbing about asking others for advice. I was embarrassed for him.
With Fred Thompson dropping out of contention, his supporters will likely move to Romney, as he is now the only real conservative running.
Ron Paul exposes John McCain's ignorance of economic policy.
This clip proves that McCan't is simply a pauper of others making the real decisions. McCan't went from voting against the Bush tax cuts twice, to saying now he would make them permanent. He said he was for illegal immigration before being opposed to that too. McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy bills prove he is nothing but an appeaser of the left for his own gain.
John McCan't simply can't be trusted.
Here is another clip of McCan't's recants...
Mitt Romney on the other hand was in complete control of the issues, especially on the economy. He rattled off positive points looking very presidential. Romney's vast education as a both a Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School graduate have served him well in both private and public sectors. Mitt's leadership experience and solid record of accomplishment is unmatched by any of the others.
While I certainly disagree with radio host Michael Medved's blithering promotion of old man McCain, he admittedly approves of Mitt Romney's performance in Florida, saying...
"Those who insist on selecting winners and losers on such occasions will no doubt see Romney as the contender who helped himself the most. He came across as smart, capable and polished, as usual, but with less palpable pandering and one-ups-manship, and more earnestness and authenticity, than ever before. His accomplished performance should solidify his status as the front-runner in the close race in Florida (a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll just before the debate showed him 4 points up on McCain) but more importantly it should provide the template for approaching future debates—especially if he’s the Republican nominee."
Mitt Romney is the by far the best, most qualified man to become president of the United States of America.

Rompson vs. McHuck
After New Hampshire's primary, where Sen. John McCain won by 4-5 points, mainly by independent votes, the leading delegate holder is still Mitt Romney who has placed second twice and first once, or two silvers and a gold, as Mitt terms it.
Now it is on to Michigan where Mitt Romney must sell his turnaround credentials. Mitt needs to pound the theme that matters most wherever he is, as McCain did in N.H. with the war issue, and Huckabee's religious pander in Iowa.
Mitt's business acumen is taylor made for Michigan, where folks appreciate hard work and a can-do attitude.
Romney told supporters that he can win Michigan, where his father was a top auto executive before serving as Michigan's governor from 1962-66.
"The best strategic decision as far as paid messaging efforts, given the current state of the race, is to focus message efforts on Michigan," said Romney spokeswoman Sarah Pompei. "We have run enough [ads] in South Carolina and Florida up to this point, and the dynamic of this race has shifted, for now, to Michigan."
To a smaller crowd at Oakland County International Airport, McCain said he was making no secret of the fact he supported higher auto fuel-mileage standards, opposed by many Michigan voters.
"Michigan is the place with the technology, and Oakland County, with Automation Alley, is the place to do the technology to make us energy independent," he said. "We're going to have to invest the money to have the kind of technology to meet those standards."
Mitt Romney is an executive who favors the union worker, as did his father. But Mitt's is a better manager of information, being a data cruncher first, then making decisive moves for progress. Having lived in Michigan most of his life, where his father ran a car company, Mitt is well known in the state, where he should do well. He needs another win at this point, but even if he doesn't get it, the race is by no means over for him.
However, should Mitt place in MI, he will be dented, and they don't do great body work down there in the south, where Mitt has pulled his advertising to concentrate on Michigan. John McCain is hedging his bet on Florida, pouring everything he has there.
It is likely that McCain and Huckabee will be at each others throats in the south, along with Fred Thompson, who may also do well there as he did the South Carolina debate.
McHuck vs. Rompson at S.C. debate
If these pictures from the South Carolina debate on Thursday are any indication of a pairing, it looks like the big guys vs. the small guys. Also notice the ties they're wearing. The Romson team is wearing blue and white stripes while McHuck is wearing red with white dots. Even though they all call themsevles Republicans, there are some major difference between these two pairings on the issues, with McHuck failing conservatives.
There is no doubt that the pairing is between more socialist, big government, higher taxes, amnesty for illegals, (false) global warming, with McHuck.
McCain voted against the tax cuts twice, but now flip-flopped.
“I believe the fundamentals of this economy are strong and I believe they will remain strong. This is a rough patch, but I think America’s greatness lies ahead of us,” the Arizona senator said, adding that he would make permanent President Bush’s tax cuts, which he voted against in 2001 and 2003.
While true conservatives for tax cuts, border enforcement, supply-side economic growth, free markets, match-up with Rompson.
Stopping the housing crisis, cutting taxes for the middle class, becoming energy independent and investing in research and development are the methods Romney said he would use to stop the country from sliding into a recession.
“Recessions hurt working families and people across the countries,” Romney said. “It’s time for us not just to talk about improving the economy, we have to do the hard work of rebuilding our economy and strengthening it.”
