Those who love being a cog in an empire, and those who love forcing their social and political opinions on other people (and on other sovereign nations) and those who enjoy being a totalitarian power endorse McCain. Those who love freedom and liberty and the principles upon which the United States were founded support Ron Paul. This should tell you much about the lapdog media.

Did anybody on here see Glenn Beck last night? The only firecracker McCain has—I say firecracker, because he sho ain’t got no ‘thunder’—is the war on terror. So, while McCain continues to slowly fall in the polls, pretty much everybody else is right now, too. Romney’s slowing down, and doing some damage to Huckabee on the way. Giuliani is falling everywhere. Thompson sits in a pretty good position, but even he’s still slipping. Tancredo will probably withdraw. Hunter’s SC people resigned a long time ago. Brownback and Tommy Thompson are out. Who’s left? Anybody know? Because one candidate’s numbers are climbing, even if slowly, but they’ve never taken a hit; it’s been a constant steady upflow in the polls since fall last year.
What do you bloggers think of polling strategies right now anyway? Studies say 15% of voters no longer have home phone lines, due to cell phones. I’m guessing that number could be even higher among GOP voters. Internet polls show that the mystery candidate mentioned above wins in landslides. I’m guessing that the techno-wing of the GOP is going to skew the polls 6-8 points in favor of the mystery man. He’s also getting 5-7 points from people who’ve never voted before or never voted Republican before—both, voters who are not surveyed in GOP polls, which only call home telephones owned by people with a prior record of voting in GOP primaries.
CNN shows the mystery man at 11% in SC. With another 13%, which is a modestly conservative estimate, he’s a slam dunk since he’s the only one who has consistently been rising both in the polls and in fundraising. And has anybody noticed the total dominance of his presence in yard signs all around SC?
btw, he’s been a good friend to me personally for 9 years, via the Mises Institute in Alabama. If you really want to see what he’s all about, and why McCain is close but not quite right about the Middle East, check out last night’s Glenn Beck Show. Full hour interview of “Honest Questions”…

Rob,

Glad you noticed my post! I’m a little disappointed that such a patriot as yourself wouldn’t show a little more respect for someone else’s political speech. I’m assuming you fought for it by the tone of your comment. If so, a heartfelt thank you to you.

Beyond that, I would be interested in what you thought about the rest of my list. Grandstanding on the “hero” issue is one of the reasons I dislike McCain and you have reinforced that perception with your illogical tirade.

Most reasonable folks will look at my comment and realize that I didn’t attack his military service–I simply expressed that his military background has been his only political asset and takes away from others who are just as deserving of similar praise.

The anonymous SC Conervative wishes to attack Senator McCain’s service to our country.

“Take away his “hero” status and he’s a shell of a politician. He’s already gotten more mileage than he deserves and there are a lot more heroes out there who deserve similar or more praise–but completely independent of political motives.”

Going out on a limb here…what the hell have you done for us? You don’t have the intestinal fortitude to put a name beside your inflamatory comments. I bet you’re backing some yellow-bellied draft dodging liar like Romney. Come on…you are aren’t you.

I do not think it would ever happen, but my two choices would be a McCain/Lieberman ticket or a Thompson/Hunter ticket.
