I thought McCain was a lying asshole masquerading as a conservative. Now you consider his every word to be gospel?

And again, which is better, 4 more years of obama incompetence and socialism or one of the GOP candidates pledged to repeal obamacare and balance the budget?

Where do these outbursts come from? Seriously. You just make things up and act like I said them?

I told you the truth about where I got that information. I thought that's what you were looking for.

Seriously, Bub. You're behaving like a nut.

Funny to see one lib R candidate attacking another lib R candidate.....then endorsing him 4 years later. lol

You posted it as if it was factual and then admitted that it was campaign rhetoric from 4 years ago.

You are an obama supporter aren't you ?

You are systematically trying to destroy every GOP candidate except the one who has ZERO chance of winning (RP).

Who are you really, hiawatha?

He has not pledged to balance the budget. His plan does nothing to balance the budget. Remember that. Even the Ryan Plan, which he supports, does not balance the budget for almost 30 years.

Now, he has said he supports a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Which is odd, since according to his spending plan, that would necessitate massive tax increases.

But that''s neither here nor there. Because there will not be a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. There aren't the votes for it, nor will there be anytime soon. It's a moot point.

Now, as to Obamacare. It isn't going to be repealed. The Republicans will not have the filibuster-proof majority needed to get it through the Senate. They can probably get away with removing certain parts of it, even some major parts of it, through the reconciliation process, which requires only a simple majority.

That is, assuming that the Republicans pick up 4 seats this year, which is certainly possible.

Par for the course. These guys have no principles.

Nope, not at all. McCain sucked 4 years ago, sucks now, and so it goes.....

Sounds like you, like Hoffa, are giving up and throwing in the towel. "we can't do it" "its too hard" "can't overcome the dems"

I have news for you two clowns, the people CAN do it. Your fatalistic cave-in attitude is sickening. GROW SOME BALLS!

[taesrom]

You said it was campaign rhetoric, that makes all of it questionable. Unless you think that politicians always tell the truth about their opponents.

Overcoming dems with a liberal Republican is meaningless. If the Republican Party had a REAL Conservative candidate, you would be excited by him, we would be excited by him, the rest of America would be excited by him and he would destroy Obama in a landslide!!

's not him.

Maybe not, but if we can't get the perfect candidate we can get obama out of power. we will never have the perfect candidate, so we always end up voting against someone--------I am voting against Obama.

Ultimately, money is the problem..

I sometimes wonder if we pay them enough.. I know it seems counter intuitive, but.. good governance would be worth almost any price.

It's the Monarch theory.
