“If you believe Andrea Mitchell, GOP support will collapse in August…”

I don’t.

In fact, Andrea Mitchell can go to Hell and Chris Matthews can join her there.

Mr. McCain, can you please explain your compromise on border security and amnesty for illegal aliens in your Kennedy-McCain proposal?

How can you call the Dems on the carpet when you have been in Congress for decades, and the border is not yet secured?

Why?

I have said this before, thank you for your service to this county, stay in the race and bring your ideas to the debates if you want, but your record in the Senate speaks for itself. You have my respect, but not my vote.

God Bless you Sir, God Bless You!

“Responsible political leaders – statesmen – do not add to the burdens our troops carry.”

McCain is exactly right, on this point.

It’s a dis-service to the american people and our way of life that the dems and the msm actively reject McCains message. A great message from a great american.

It’s a shame he chose to say this on the day the Duke Lacrosse Tema gets officially exonerated. Whatever you think of McCain, this is good stuff and needs to be heard.

Where is the Lincoln of our age? Where is the America that fought for the dignity of man no matter where he (or she) lived.

Speech to the One Hundred Sixty-sixth Ohio Regiment
Washington, D.C.
August 22, 1864

“I almost always feel inclined, when I happen to say anything to soldiers, to impress upon them in a few brief remarks the importance of success in this contest. It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children’s children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives. I beg you to remember this, not merely for my sake, but for yours. I happen temporarily to occupy this big White House. I am a living witness that any one of your children may look to come here as my father’s child has. It is in order that each of you may have through this free government which we have enjoyed, an open field and a fair chance for your industry, enterprise and intelligence; that you may all have equal privileges in the race of life, with all its desirable human aspirations. It is for this the struggle should be maintained, that we may not lose our birthright–not only for one, but for two or three years. The nation is worth fighting for, to secure such an inestimable jewel.”

And that’s all we want for the people of Iraq; that each of them may have, through a free government such as we enjoy, an open field and a fair chance for thier industry, enterprise and intelligence; that they may all have equal privileges in the race of life, with all its desirable human aspirations.

He still doesn’t get my primary vote, although he deserves his props for this.
