Hoist on McCain's Petard

This old John McCain commercial helps put into perspective the reasons McCain thinks so little of Mitt Romney that... he now endorses him. Well, at least it shows the consistency of Romney through the years -- consistently what his late Massachusetts colleague Paul Tsongas would have called a "Pander Bear."

Yeah, which is exactly why I still don't support this RINO/CINO or whatever you want to call him.

I do believe it's "RINO-CINO Israel-Firster Chicken Hawk serial traitor to conservatism.

Which, in MY book is FAR FAR better than an Blame America Firster Coward serial fraud and no real conservative, Ron Paul or Obama the unrepentant Socialist, any day!!

MR. HILLYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I am a total NOBODY....
It is my duty to myself to say...

That your posting of this commercial....

Is making me sincerely question my judgement in writing you off as a mouthpiece of the establishment....

I may have been wrong...and if so, I sincerely apologize...

If this is a head fake...then it's a pretty good one.

Thank you.

Devastating. And that's just what it does to McCain.

If it's Mitt, On my hands I'll sit!

I don't give a tinkers d a m n If Obama gets re-elected if the GOP gives us McCain 2 (Romney)
I'm done! and so is the country!

WL| 1.5.12 @ 12:25PM

It's a shame, but I have a feeling alot of people feel this way too...

The whole ball of crap getting shoved at us....and THEN getting berated by our "betters" because we won't fall in line with it...

Is almost pushing me there too.

While I'll no doubt hoave to hold my nose if forced to vote for Romney, I will gladly do so [just like I did for Democrat Edwin Edwards against Republican David Duke in Louisiana] in order to save this country from destruction [and that will surely occur if Obama has four more years of running this country into the ground]!!!!!!!
