Quote Of The Day: Audacity Of Hope

Where is the audacity of hope when it comes to backing the success of our troops all the way to victory in Iraq? What we heard last night was the timidity of despair. Our allies deserve better, our soldiers deserve better, and so do the American people.” John McCain. Video via Stop The ACLU Ace […]

Maverick = Bush?

An interesting opinion piece at USA Today, Should Conservatives Back Mac? by Jonah Goldberg (hat tip JonJayRay at Stop the ACLU) There are lots of reasons, some good, some bad, for conservatives’ angry dyspepsia toward McCain. I have bouts of it myself. From campaign-finance reform, to his proposed amnesty for illegal immigrants to his general tendency […]

Fred! Endorses Maverick

Better late then never (not my fault, see previous post) Fred Thompson, the one-time Republican presidential candidate, endorsed Sen.

Romney Gallantly Drops Out

From Mitt’s presidential site  Today, addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Governor Romney announced that he was suspending his presidential campaign for the sake of Republican unity and the future of our country.

Rachel Lucas On The “I Won’t Vote For McCain. Pout” Issue

Read her whole take on this kefuffle Okay fine. Not your ideal Republican, despite his pro-war, pro-killin’-terrorists record. But. But. BUT. Just what in the hell kind of crack are Ann Coulter and lots of other conservatives (even the normally brilliant Michelle Malkin) smoking when they say they won’t vote for him if he’s the […]

McCain’s A Devil, But He’s Our Devil

Interesting reading from Victor David Hanson Despite McCain’s 82-percent career ranking by the American Conservative Union, and his support for balanced budgets, an end to pork-barrel spending and earmarks, strong support for the war, and expressed regret over once supporting the Bush illegal immigration reform package, McCain was branded by the conservative media as a […]

WTW: The Maverick Pulls It Out On Tuesday

  Morning, y’all Jebediah Murphy here with some of that truthiness stuff. Apparently, quite a few Florida seniors thought they were voting for Pat Buchannan Sen. John McCain last night became the man to beat for the Republican presidential nomination, edging out Mitt Romney to win the Florida primary and ending the bid of one-time […]

Romney Slaps McCain’s Tax Hike

Via Sith Master Rusty, a Mitt! press release By our calculation, a family of four would have to spend about an extra $1,000 a year if McCain-Lieberman became law. And again that’s because gasoline would rise in price by approximately .50 cents a gallon and natural gas would rise about 20 percent….. And what’s particularly […]
