Super Tuesday Results

[Rebelman]

Personally, I'm not afraid of McCain. ITs not that I like McCain, I've already endorsed Huckabee but, its more Anti-Romney for me. I just can't stand the guy. Something in my gut tells me not to trust him, and his little lying about lobbyists in his campaign fiasco.

Would you endorse McCain if Huckabee has to drop out?

 

[DarkWizard12]

Would you endorse McCain if Huckabee has to drop out?

Sure, why not? I like both of their moderate positions and seem to really know whats wrong with the lives of the average person, rather than whats bothering the partisan hacks. Right now, A McCain - Huckelberry Ticket seems very likely so, either way, its a win.

You definitely weren't in mind here.

Ultimately, us limited government guys should be able to disagree on issues like foreign policy anyway. The separation of powers spreads this power out. Paul would force congress to take responsibility for our goals and objectives, and would use the power of fireside chat to disagree. I'm not a single issue voter.

We our doing a horrible job of identifying the strengths and weakness of the parties involved in our Middle East foreign policy though.

Our weakness is democracy. We can't create a long term view on how to handle foreign policy and expect to enforce it consistently. The people will change their minds - balance of power will shift between differing ideologies.

The enemies weakness is military power, leadership, and communication....but mostly irrationality.

Our compassionate warfare is views as a weakness by them. We would be better off if we simply attacked them, removed Saddam, and then washed our hands of it - with a warning that this is the new policy. Our borders will be secure, our economy will be improved with our foreign positioned troops now spending money stateside, and we will still have the largest navy and air force in the world.

The so called power vacuum we fear already exists, and has for a while. Saddam couldn't even control all of Iraq - which isn't so big.

If things flair up again, we go in again with force - even removing leaders if need be. But we stop using our troops to fight political battles and hearts and minds. Our compassion in the ME must end.

I guess maybe "we" would be better off. But my ideals in regards to foreign policy aren't completely self centered. I believe that the end benefit of having more and more strong democratic allies outweighs the initial benefit of keeping things close to the vest.

Our democratic allies will be stronger by not throwing our obvious influence in everyones face.

And I'm not talking about being self centered, I'm talking about ensuring our future wellbeing. Given the current birth rates and our population demographic, what do you see happening in the next 50 years? 100 years?

We need to make some changes before it's too late....Nothing self centered about it.

 

[Rebelman]

The best thing about California is that John McCain won across the board. Romney won like maybe 3 or 4 congressional districts in the whole state, everything else is all McCain.
Good **** last night. Missouri was huge, California was the biggest by far. And thank God cause without those who knows. Give Romney 10 points in Cali and Huckabee like what, 3 or 4 points in Missouri and this race looks completely different. Huge.

Who were you supporting? I may already know but just want to double check.:2razz:

I disagree. If our allies thought they'd be stronger, they'd kick us out like France did in the 70's. Any country we're in, with a few small exceptions, can kick us out any time. That they choose not to is proof that it is better for them.

 

[Rebelman]

John McCain dude, McCain winning the presidency would be better than the Bears winning the super bowl.

At least we have something in common then

He actually did moderately well in the South as well. Huckabee didn't win the South by a very large margin really. McCain was right on his tail for the most part.

Of course it's better for them.

They get free military protection and the benefit of troops spending American money in their economy.

What I was saying is our alliances with them will get stronger.

....How so?

 

[Thorgasm]

That's blasphemy! :2razz:

 

[disneydude]

John McCain dude, McCain winning the presidency would be better than the Bears winning the super bowl.

The likelihood of EITHER happening is pretty close to the same.

 

[Thorgasm]

Well it's about quantity. You get 4 years of John McCain if he wins the election, the Bears would just win the super bowl for one year if they win it once. Hell, even the Bucaneers won it once not to long ago, the ****ing Giants won the super bowl this year, it means nothing.

Now if the Bears won the Super Bowl 4 years in a row, that might be better than John McCain, but 1 super bowl, no way.

No way! John McCain is too old to take 4 years for granted. We don't even know who will be a heartbeat away yet. That will be key for him.

People will pay more attention to the media asking "Is McCain too old?" than they will "Is Obama black enough?" or "Does Hillary's butt look big in this?"

I'll take the '85 Bears Super Bowl win over McCain

In order to win 4 Super Bowls, you have to win one first.

The audacity of hope.

 

[Thorgasm]

He's 71, that's not that old. The next president will have anywhere from 1 to 4 Supreme Court appointments. John McCain as president is like the Bears winning the super bowl every year for four years.

Yeah, I sure as hell don't want 1 to 4 more Scalia's. :shock:

 

[Thorgasm]

One can only dream to have one to four more Scalias. The dream of judges who make their decisions off of the law.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

 

[aps]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Me too! galenrox, are you that removed from reality? :shock:

 

[jallman]

Um if by removed from reality you mean believing that the only sustainable system is one with the rule of law, where the Constitution means what the Constitution says and if you don't like it then go read article 5, then yes, I am that removed from reality.

I agree. This thrust to change our laws through the court systems, one little precedent at a time, is one of the most appalling aspects of politics today. I would like to see more judges like Scalia who are impartial on the bench and given to making their decisions based what the law says rather than their view of what the should say.

I am happy with Alito and Roberts so far.

 

[jallman]

I am too, and those old left wing bastards can't hold on forever. We get another 50 year old Roberts clone filling the Ginsberg seat and all of a sudden Kennedy's vote seems a lot less significant, regardless of how swingy.

And you remember all the uproar over Roberts nomination...how he was supposedly going to be far right and make his decisions based on his personal politics....

Most conservatives appointed to the bench tend to maintain their impartiality whereas its the left wing gargoyles sitting up there that make their rulings according to their politics. I just tend to trust conservatives appointed to the bench a little more, especially since seeing how Alito and Roberts turned out.

 

[ARealConservative]

I must say, this McCain - Scalia connection is brilliant.

Now when ever we want to criticize him for his liberal ****, he just reminds us of how the new bench will bail him out. He's been a foot solider in this revolution friend, and he can lead us to victory. Do you really think a conservative court would let McCain-Feingold stand? He is sure to appoint judges that will override the bills he cared about.

I definately believe that Justice Roberts' nomination to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ranks up there with the best decision Bush has made in his entire 7+ years as President....

Very well qualified and as intelligent as anybody in this country... period... I was HIGHLY impressed with his performance in his hearings and anybody that voted against him are just partisan hacks...

 

[azura28]

A little testy there, aren't we?

I assumed everyone knew that everyone is just giving their opinion. I guess you have to spell it out for some though.

IMO, you better get used to hearing Madam President. That better? :roll:

Of course aps is testy - aps believed the media hype that obama would take CA and hopefully new jersey. :roll:

If Obama had won in CA - we'd never hear the end of it - but Clinton won - and it's barely mentioned in the media.

I hope your right about her taking PA.

 

[Sergeant Stinger1]

So far, Romney takes West Virginia. Ron Paul 10% is very cool.

100% Reporting:
Romney-464, 41%
Huckabee-375, 33%
McCain-176, 16%
Paul-118, 10%

Wow! What a screwed up bunch of Repubs this year. Its like no one wants to vote for any of them.
Thats what usually happens when there are a bunch of losers running.
Although I do like McCain but he may be as bad as bushie boye when it comes to starting a war.

 

[Jerry]

I understand that McCain can not take the office because he was not born on US soil. Is this true?

 

[jallman]

I understand that McCain can not take the office because he was not born on US soil. Is this true?

No, not at all. He just has to be a natural citizen of the US.

If you are born overseas, but to American citizens, you are an american citizen...period. Our daughter was born in Gtmo bay, Cuba, her official birth certificate says Washington D.C.

You gotta be kidding.....your kid is a commie? Hahaha j/k. I always thought U.S. military bases were U.S. soil regardless of the location they're in? I only think this because I know a chick who was born at the Osan Air Base to American parents and she's an American citizen.
