 "undecided" (due to no candidate getting more than 50%) Next vote in about one hour!
The Anchoress defends McCain:
There has been some really shameful demagoguery against McCain from people who ordinarily would show some respect for a man who spent 6 years in a VietCong POW camp, too, which to my way of thinking says many more negative things about the sign-holders and aspersion-casters than it does about McCain.
UPDATE: Here is an except from ... the statement of a fellow POW of McCain’s who does not support him politically:
A friend, whom I know to be reliable, was across the hall and one door down, from McCain’s cell when McCain was first captured. He has told me that he saw Communist officers enter the cell where the wounded John McCain lay, incapacitated. He heard them offer McCain early release and heard John answer that he would go home when we all go home. He heard the voices of the officers rising until they were shouting angrily at McCain and threatening him. This was followed by screams of agony from John McCain, and a stream of obscenities from him. He could not see what they did to him and I never heard from John McCain what it was. This does not sound like a collaborator.
The man has a son in Iraq and one at Annapolis - he is undoubtedly a Patriot. To call him a “Benedict Arnold” as these people do is disgusting and out-of-line. It is, more than anything, what I find disturbing about the excesses of the far-right. - End Update

The over the top attacks of McCain are disgraceful. Anyone who does this is no better than those individuals who attack Mitt's faith and the LDS Church. I know many of you do not do this (you just support Mitt and is ok to support your candidate), but some of you do cross this line and should be ashamed of yourselves. It needs to stop. |

Sometimes a candidate gets a little too much grief for misspeaking. The first time Mitt Romney said he was endorsed by the NRA in his gubernatorial run, he was wrong; the NRA rated him a “B,” which is not bad. (His Democratic opponent was an “A,” surprisingly. The NRA did not endorse in that race.) Apparently some NRA folk did some phone-banking for him, and Romney mistook that for an endorsement, and I guess I can see how that mistake could be made. The key is to note that he was told of his mistake back in December.
And then, in an interview a few days ago with Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, Romney claimed to be endorsed by the NRA again.
When it happens multiple times, one begins to wonder if Romney just wants to assert the endorsement and hopes that the person he’s speaking to doesn’t hear the correction.
Glenn comes across to me as a particularly fair-minded interviewer, but after Race42008 demonstrates a couple of different positions in a short span of time — telling Tim Russert he would sign the Assault Weapons Ban, telling Glenn and Helen that he would oppose it — Glenn concludes, “I’m beginning to question his sincerity.”

Mitt Romney stood up to the left leaning politicians as governor and he will stand up to them in Washington. Washington is broken and McCain or Huckabee don't have the smarts to do it. Vote for the outsider who will be strong on cutting taxes, strong for the marriage amendment, strong against abortions, strong against the jhadists, strong on helping the country out of this economic slump we are in, too. Vote for Mitt Romney all the way to the nomination! |
