So McCain is not perfect but I'm beginning to like the fact that he leans left on some issues! The GOP needs more moderates,it's good to see the nation moving towards the center.

Thumbs down Re: McCain tangles with conservatives

John McCain panders to liberal democrats in the Senate and has an amnesty like stance on illegal immigration. He has no plan on securing our border with Mexico. I would vote for Mickey Mouse over this joke of a candidate.

If you don't hate the left your not a good republican. You are required to drool and your eyes must dialate at the sight of Hillary. Remember we must divide the country left and right because its the only progress the pols are capable of.

What you call pandering, more level-headed persons call compromise. And without more of it, this country is going to rip itself apart.

The only thing that is really wrong with the U.S. today is the failure of the ideologues to come together and realize that we all have to give a little if we are all going to get along.

it's funny that you say that about Republicans hating the left and Hillary, yet no mention of hatred of Bush...which is so spastic it has it's own name...

I think that the nation is MOSTLY center leaning left or right. Unfortunately the parties have forced people to choose one side or the other.

We need to make our votes heard, and we need to make sure our votes matter - this is no time to put Clintons back in the White House, and certainly no safe time to vote on an unknown.

Senator McCain is a war veteran, former POW, and owes the longevity of his own life to the country that freed him - ours. He is outspoken, he has guts, and he is far more than just harsh talk. On more than a few occasions, he has stood on an issue alone, and fought for what he believes in - this record indicates he is a LEADER and a STATESMAN.

Our country can't afford any more politicians - look at where we are today.
I remember Bush saying in the time of war against Iraq and the 9/11 incident: either you are with me or my enemy.

Yes. And those were correct words in a response to America being attacked on our own shores. They hit a hard punch that drove a lot of worms out of the woodwork so we could focus on the real enemies. But we need to focus again and catch Osama Bin Laden and take another look at Afghanistan.

(CNN) -- GOP front-runner John McCain is cruising into Super Tuesday with a hefty lead in the polls, but he's drawing a backlash from some top conservatives who say he is too liberal to carry the Republican nomination.

Radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt and Lars Larson are among the conservative voices speaking out against the Arizona senator.

The attacks have gotten so heated that former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole Monday wrote Limbaugh defending McCain.

CNN obtained the letter from a Republican source close to Dole.

In the letter, Dole says McCain is a "mainstream conservative" who supported the party on critical votes during Dole's time as the Senate Republican leader.

Dole says he remains neutral in the GOP contest and speaks kindly of all three remaining leading GOP candidates.

But the letter comes at a time Limbaugh is trying to rally grassroots conservative support against McCain.

"Whoever wins the Republican nomination will need your enthusiastic support," Dole says in the letter. "Two terms for the Clintons are enough."

Limbaugh has called McCain's rise the product of a "fractured" conservative base and an "uninspiring" GOP presidential field.

"McCain will kill conservatism as a dominant force in the Republican Party," Limbaugh said on his radio show Monday.

Meanwhile, conservative commentator Ann Coulter last week said she would support Democratic contender Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York over McCain.

McCain tangles with conservatives - CNN.com

Holy smokies,Ann Coulter said she would support Sen.Hillary Clinton over McCain???..What did Juan McCain ever do to be treated by his own party this way? I mean you know,McCain is a hero and all..how could they reward him by turning against this paragon of conservatism? McCain has become far more conservative ever since he announced his candidacy.The way I see it,most Independents will get what they want this November. They will either get McCain or Hillary,in a way..they can't lose,it's a win win for Independents and the village people! McCain is not as conservative as some people would desire but Hillary is not as liberal as some would want...
Am I under the impression that I support Democrats rather than the Republicans?
