McCAIN NEEDS ROMNEY TO LEND CREDIBILITY ON THE ECONOMY AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ...

By Anonymous Anonymous, at May 17, 2008 at 12:12 PM  


Those are some pretty cliche predictions. Charlie Crist and Condoleezza Rice - both would be terrible picks.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at May 17, 2008 at 2:49 PM  


They might be terrible picks, but who ever said McCain wasn't prone to terrible decision making? He could easily pick a RINO, or Lieberman.

Romney would make the best president, but Huck would be the most helpful to McCain in winning the race.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at May 18, 2008 at 5:29 PM  


I think Huck would be a terrible choice, and would stop me voting for McCain. He would arguably make sure evangelicals didn't stay home, but I think he would stop those moderate Democrats who won't vote for Obama from voting for McCain. Since McCain is so old, you want someone who looks like he could take over should something happen. I think Romney is the strongest choice, but I would be fine with some of the other choices mentioned, like Pawlenty.

Please Please Romney as the VP pick for Republicans. Does ANYONE know what the "normal" people go thru with all the people from India and Mexico draining our jobs and economy????

I am really lamenting today that we do not have a passionate leader to forge ahead on the federal marriage amendment as a candidate. It is a sad irony that democracy could be so desecrated by the ivory tower that is the California Supreme Court. It is going to take a lot of effort to overcome the decision today that overturned the law that only a marraige between one man and one woman is valid or recognized in California. We need to get to work right away.

Hopefully, Mitt will come to help us out. He is the best advocate in this country on behalf of traditional marriage.

I'm quite sure McCain wont attack gay marriage but just say he'd appoint constructionist judges or whatever. I don't know how Mitt can say much of anything since he disagrees with McCain on so many different things.As a matter of fact you don't see many McCain surrogates at all because most republicans can't stand him.Lip service support at best.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at May 16, 2008 at 3:46 AM  


I went door to door on Prop 22, and it passed overwhelmingly. It should be illegal for a set of judges to overturn the will of the people.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at May 16, 2008 at 2:02 PM  


It looks like the gay marriage ruling can be over turned this Nov by a simple majority vote on a referendum.This might actually help republicans like it did in '04. Also Missouri just passed some very tough illegal alien laws.

Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. says in the Wall Street Journal that John McCain needs to be a little more like Mitt Romney. Why? McCain hasn’t looked at the data:

Mr. Romney was tagged as a wonk because he "immerses himself in data." But one thing immersion can do that casual "gut" proceedings can't is let you know when the data don't provide an answer, even if people are telling you it does.
I argued long ago that McCain’s gut decision-making was a net negative, even if it had put him on the right side of the surge debate.

McCain’s absolutist position on the surge, while admirable in his support of our troops, is almost the dictionary definition of ideologue. It’s not the facts that convinced McCain that the surge is working, but the idea itself. In McCain’s mind it would be working whether or not the facts showed it, because the idea is right in his mind. This is the same kind of stubbornness that has kept him supporting “comprehensive immigration” when the facts don’t support him. Similarly campaign finance reform has been an abject failure, but McCain still supports it because the idea is right, in spite of the facts. Likewise McCain has come to the correct conclusion on the surge, not lead by the facts, but lead only by the idea. McCain is right more out of luck than any sort of analytical process that lead him to the right conclusion. Such a blind adherence to ideas is unsupportable.
Apparently there is an area that I failed to mention. Jenkins says that Romney’s approach is crucial in the global warming debate:

It perhaps takes somebody steeped like Mr. Romney in real-world analytics to find a footing against the media tide. But the fact remains: The push toward warming that CO2 provides in theory is no reason to presume in confidence that CO2 is actually responsible for any observed warming in a system as complex and chaotic as our atmosphere.

In his climate speech on Monday, Mr. McCain exhibited (as the press usually does) a complete lack of consciousness of the fact that evidence of warming is not evidence of what causes warming. Yet policy must be a matter of costs and benefits, adjusted for the uncertainties involved. Which brings us to today's irony: He who finds a six-figure earmark an affront to humanity is prepared to wave through a trillion-dollar climate bill without, as far as anyone can tell, a single systematic thought about costs and benefits.

Mr. McCain argues that green energy mandates will leave us better off whether or not man-made global warming is real. This is an error that Mr. Romney wouldn't make – and one Al Gore makes all the time.

McCain has become such a panderer whatever belief system he did have is gone. I'm not so sure his blind loyality to his own views are actually what he believes or that he thinks they make a big hit with the media. The media is really hating reporting on all the Dem positions he's assumed.This thing today about him looking back on his first term is one of the worst gaffes I've ever seen and aimed at his precious center. Man I hope there's a coup at the convention.

I'm a big Mitt supporter, but I don't believe in a federal amendment to ban gay marriage. I just don't think that gay marriage in any way threatens marriage, as the traditional argument goes. The one thing I'm not sure about is whether it's a good thing for children to be raised by parents of the same gender. That one I'm not sure on, but banning gay marriage to me seems just plain mean. After all, many of these people are gay in the same way that most of us are heterosexual. They didn't choose it. They just are. And who are me and you to tell them they can't be who they are?

By Anonymous Anonymous, at May 17, 2008 at 1:33 PM  


I believe the crux of the issue for Mitt and for myself at least, has to do with the family. Already gay couples can share in many benefits that married couples do...and maybe they should. Mitt isn't telling them they can't be gay or to change, he's just saying as far as families and children are concerned, marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Barbara Comstock and Cesar Conda have been named co-chairs of the Susan B. Anthony list. Conda works at Navigators, the baby of GOP Svengali Mike Murphy, while Comstock has her own shop. From the Politico's Shenanigans blog:
The [Susan B. Anthony] List is the GOP’s answer to longtime Dem grass-roots powerhouse EMILY’s List, which helps female Dems get elected. Importantly, SBA’s No. 1 goal is to end abortion in this country.

I wish I could elaborate on the Governor's remarks at the Becket Fund ceremony honoring him with the Centerbury Medal, but they would add nothing to his remarkable words:
In the days that followed, my remarks drew a considerable amount of congratulatory comment…and some criticism as well. The criticism was a good thing, of course. It meant that my words were not like the proverbial tree falling in the forest — unheard and unheeded. It also gave me an opportunity to go back and re-think, and that presents an opportunity for more learning.

Several commentators, for instance, argued that I had failed to sufficiently acknowledge the contributions that had been made by atheists. At first, I brushed this off — after all this was a speech about faith in America, not non-faith in America. Besides, I had not enumerated the contributions of believers — why should non-believers get special treatment?

But upon reflection, I realized that while I could defend their absence from my address, I had missed an opportunity…an opportunity to clearly assert that non-believers have just as great a stake as believers in defending religious liberty.

If a society takes it upon itself to prescribe and proscribe certain streams of belief — to prohibit certain less-favored strains of conscience — it may be the non-believer who is among the first to be condemned. A coercive monopoly of belief threatens everyone, whether we are talking about those who search the philosophies of men or follow the words of God.
...

One critic dismissed this idea [that freedom requires religion] by pointing out that there are indeed countries in Europe which have become godless but nevertheless remain democratic. But that underscores my point. I was not speaking about Europe’s recent experiments in state secularism, I was speaking about America and the larger family of free nations; and I was not speaking about a moment of time, but rather about a span of history. Would America and the freedom she inaugurated here and across the world survive — over centuries — if we were to abandon our faith in God?

I don’t believe so.

This is hardly a novel view.

Please read the entire speech.

This is stunning. In large part because of the modern day scarcity of profound thought of this nature.

Ann Corkery, who directs philanthropy at Security National Servicing Corporation, introduced Governor Romney as he received the Canterbury Award from the Becket Fund.

As it turned out, the governor’s speech of December 6th last year was the high point of the entire primary season. It was one of those moments when a serious thought managed to break through the noise. What left an impression was not just the power of the words, but also the qualities of the man, and of the wife beside him.

One quality of note is surely their forbearance, at that moment and throughout the campaign. If you wonder exactly what it was like for Catholics, in other places and other times, Mitt and Ann could share some details from their own experience. At every turn, they had to explain their faith — to defend the good and venerable teachings of the Mormon Church. They were constantly called to account, even by people not usually interested in spiritual matters … and by others with creeds and churches of their own, but a lot less to show for it than Mitt and Ann Romney.

The reality is that when we meet people of their quality, the most relevant questions are the ones we ask ourselves — about our own beliefs … and whether we reflect nearly as well on our churches as they do on theirs. Yet somehow the governor always remained calm and patient. And this was not just a political instinct. It was the humility of the man, a trait that has somehow survived all his success. Listening to his remarks in College Station, Texas, it wasn’t hard to picture the young missionary who years before has gone door to door in Paris, explaining his beliefs and offering the hope of a better way.
