It is tiresome to read the attacks on John McCain as if her were a liberal, which he is not. John McCain, the son and grandson of U. S. Navy Admirals and a naval aviator who is a genuine war hero, is a pro-life fiscal conservative with the most knowledge about military and national security matters than any candidate in either party and whose books on character and courage are terrific. John McCain has promised to nominate judicial conservatives to the federal bench — a hugely important matter for the future of the counttry. John McCain was right about Iraq for years and is right now because he he has the understanding of military matters to make such correct judgments — a hugely valuable ability in this time of war with the radical jihadists.

I have written this before, but I will again. My older son is a U.S. Army First Lieutenant (with Ranger tab) who in October finished his first 15-month extended tour of duty in Iraq as an infantry platoon leader, and my younger son will be commissioned a U.S. Marine Second Lieutenant upon college graduation this year having already passed officer training in Quantico. I vitally care about who our next Commander-in-Chief will be. I cannot imagine any of the Democrats carrying that responsibility, and on the Republican side, John McCain is clearly the superior candidate.

So those of you who wrongly disparage John McCain, go ahead, but I think you are beiing a bunch of fools who will only lead to anti-military socialists as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama being elected President. John McCain can beat Hillary and Barack. I am not sure that in 2008 any other Republican can.

You have to hand it to those two, coalition forces.

Would the McCain/Lieberman independent ticket hurt equally the DNC & RNC tickets?

That sounds like an excellent title for a new animated Disney movie starring McCain and Lieberman!

I like McCain and I like Lieberman, on a personal level, but I wouldn’t want to see either one of them in the White House.

Joe has nothing to lose. This will be his last term in the Senate and is putting his conscience ahead of his party. If not a Veep spot, then probably SoS or SoD.

I hate to call Lieberman a DINO, he’s actually the last living real Democrat left. What they’re running over to the left is communist party rejects that would make FDR, Truman and Kennedy spew their breakfasts.

But the concept that Lieberman would endorse McCain says much more about McCain than it does about Lieberman. I won’t be voting that ticket, I don’t vote for liberals.

wow would that throw a monkey wrench in the democratic machine, I think some democrats faces would blanche if they visited this thread. McCain Lieberman would beat Obama. Rudy Lieberman would trounce Hillary imho, but that latter option I think is a tough pill for many diehard GOP, double moderates, might win an election but leave a lot of republicans upset.

caveat, when I say trounce as a figure of speech pls keep in mind how close the last two were, thanks.
whatever you all decide please win.

yeah thats it; McCain is running for president to fulfill his diabolical plan to carry out Democrat ideas. seriously, you are fooling yourselves if you think he will not sway republican the majority of the time as president. yeah, he is independent, which i used to think was a good thing, but apparently most people on here would rather the crap politics we have today to continue with party hard liners

Could we have a 5-party election next year?

1. Romney/Steele
2. Mrs. Clinton/Richardson
3. Obama/Bloomberg
4. McCain/Lieberman
5. Paul/Buchanan

Yikes!

Perfect.

I honestly cannot imagine ANYONE who cares about the Republican party suporting McCain. He’s the Anti-Republican! He is who he is, ONLY because he has defied his party and his President again and again on important matters simply to curry favor with the Democrats and the media. Lets’s not forget his flirtation with John Kerry four years ago. And he’s wrong on virtually everything BUT the war.
I’m not surprised at all that liberal newspapers and liberal politicians are endorsing him.

That’s two people I kind of liked gone down the tubes!!! Oprah is endorsing Obama and now Lieberman is doing the same for McCain. I wish these two had just kept their opinions to themselves and gone about their business. I’ll never see them the same again.

The only position I have in common with Lieberman is the strong foreign policy, e.g., wrt Israel and the War(s). I’m not so sure that those aren’t the only issues since I don’t know what are his positions on the host of other foreign policy stuff — LOST, Climate Change treaties, etc — but my gut tells me we don’t see eye to eye.

Domestically, I doubt we are on the same wavelength on anything.

Liebs is a good man, but his endorsement doesn’t do anything for me. In fact, since Rudy, Fred, Mitt and Hunter will probably deliver as good a match for what Liebs is offering that I like, I resent his posturing in our preliminary stage.
