Voting for Romney; weary of McCain!

[Theodore Roosevelt]

Nice to see our Republican political establishment line up behind U.S. Senator John McCain? After getting screwed by Giuliani, you think they might have learned something. No.

U.S. Rep Peter T. King, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former Governor George Pataki along with former U.S. Senator Al D'Amato all lined up to back thr friend McCain.

At the last debate in California, McCain attacked Wall Street citing "possible criminal investigations into alleged wrong doing." Hello?

Published reports indicate that 70% of the Subprime fiasco was caused at the loan level by corrupt Real Estate folks who inflated thr evaluations of properties to qualify Real Estate loans.

Our Republican delegation....silent. Apology from McCain? Don't see one coming anytime soon.

McCain will get destroyed by the Democrats in November with Republicans electing to sit on thr hands. Why?
- abridged free speech (McCain - Fngold)
- amnesty for illegals (McCain - Kennedy)
- judicial noiminations ( voted for Ginsburg; thought Alito too Conservative)
- voted against the Bush Tax Cuts TWICE
- does not support Drilling for Domestic Oil in ANWR (Artic National Wildlife)
- seeks bombing Iran ("bomb,bomb,bomb Iran..."to the Beachboys Barbara Ann
- McCain supports shutting down Guantanamo Bay for suspected Terrorists
- McCain libels Drug Companies as "Crooks"
- McCain states "Illegals are not going home"
- McCain states "We are going to have more Wars"
- McCain states "Jobs are not coming back"
- McCain formed the Gang of 14 - 7 U.S. Senators from each party all agreed to block the GOP Senate from invoking the "Nuclear Option" - empowering the GOP to break a fillibuster of judicial nominees by majority vote unless the seven Democrats agreed?
- McCain is alleged to have key advisers to former Mexican President Vincente Fox on his paid staff advising him.

No one recognizes more than me, that McCain is a true hero for his dedicated military service to our country. But that is not a blank check in which to obscure a very weak and ineffective political record that will be exposed by the Media over the next 8 months resulting in ther Obama or Clinton getting elected to the White House.

I am deeply disappointed in the Nassau County / New York Republican Delegation.

Show me your friends John McCain...

Mozilo shouldn't just be worried about the SEC. He shouldn't just be worried about irate laid-off Countrywide employees. He shouldn't just be worried about CFC shareholders who lost everything. He shouldn't just be worried about the thousands and thousands who got pushed into toxic loans so he could earn higher commissions. And he shouldn't just be worried about his future boyfriends in jail.

No, with his level of naked greed and corruption, he and others in the RC and government should now be worried about the guillotine. Now we just need a Robespierre.

The good news is that the prosecutors were able to sze Bernie Ebbers assets and ill-gotten-gains during his downfall, and I hope that they'll be able to do the same with The Orange One. This is just sick.

Lavish Payout, Perks for Failed Mortgage CEO - His Severance Package Includes Jet Use, Country Club Dues and a Hefty Payout

Angelo Mozilo, the co-founder and public face of troubled mortgage giant Countrywide, is eligible for tens if not hundreds of millions in compensation and perks on the sale of the company to Bank of America.

During calendar 2006, the latest period available for review in Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Mozilo took home $48.1 million in compensation. An early analysis of SEC filings by the Los Angeles Times suggests he could get upward of $115 million when he leaves after the sale is complete, despite the fact that the company tanked during the recent subprime mortgage crisis.

Immediately upon a change in control, Mozilo would get $13.3 million in accelerated vesting of stock grants, according to the terms of his 2004 compensation agreement, included in the company's latest proxy statement.

Should he leave the company after the firm's buyout, Mozilo would get a one-time cash payment of $88 million.

C'mon Senator McCain....let's see you investigate Capital Hill darling, former Countrywide CEO, Angelo Mozilo.

What's the matter?

Where's your "Straight Talk" Senator?

Romney can't win a general election. You have a chance with McCain. Better a half a loaf with McCain, than the very expensive cakes that Hillary Clinton will be serving.

McCain will be a tough president.

Read the New York Sun!

Conservatives are about to be screwed. McCain needs to keep Bloomberg's candidacy in the closet out of fear that Republican and Independent Conservatives will derail his Republican nomination before this week's important CPAC Conservative PAC Meeting.

'Straight Talk Express' Shies Away on Bloomberg
BY RUSSELL BERMAN - Staff Reporter of the Sun

HAMILTON, N.J. — As Senator McCain's "Straight Talk Express" rumbled toward Manhattan along the New Jersey Turnpike yesterday afternoon, the last topic the presidential candidate seemed eager to discuss was the city's biggest political mystery: Mayor Bloomberg.

Two of Mr. Bloomberg's closest allies have endorsed Mr. McCain, and his predecessor at City Hall, Mayor Giuliani, was seated awkwardly a couple feet away, squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder into the back of the campaign bus with a handful of reporters.

If the Bloomberg boomlet is deflating, Mr. McCain showed no interest in adding any air to it.

"All I know about Mayor Bloomberg's political ambitions is what I read" in New York's newspapers, Mr. McCain said.

It was less than two months ago that Mr. McCain went out of his way to praise Mr. Bloomberg during an Iowa debate, saying the mayor had done "remarkable things" in reforming the city's education system.

Yesterday, the praise was gone, and his words were clipped.

Would the newly crowned Republican front-runner actively seek Mr. Bloomberg's endorsement? "I want the support of anyone who'll support me," he said.

What about the vice presidency? "The one thing we haven't done is talk about that," Mr. McCain said. "That kind of speculation is premature and would violate, as I say, all my superstitious tendencies."

With comfortable leads in delegate-rich states such as New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, Mr. McCain heads into today's elections — which have been likened to a national primary — as a heavy favorite over his nearest rival for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney.

Although clearly confident, Mr. McCain returned repeatedly to his "superstitious tendencies" as he chatted with reporters yesterday. He refused to discuss his strategy for defeating ther Senator Clinton or Senator Obama in the fall, knocking the wooden table in front of him when a reporter dared ask about the general election.

"We're just not taking anything for granted. You've got a guy out there who's willing to spend $50 million, $60 million of his own money," Mr. McCain said, referring to the sum that his campaign believes that Mr. Romney has contributed to his bid.

He also said he did not think voters would be turned off by Mr. Romney's personal investment. "It doesn't ever seem to affect voters if people spend thr own money," Mr. McCain said, although he again demurred when asked if that would apply to a potential independent candidate such as Mr. Bloomberg, who would likely spend 10 times as much as Mr. Romney to finance his bid.

Mr. McCain's only potential obstacle to the Republican nomination appears to be an unrelenting opposition from some conservatives who are wary of his positions on immigration, the environment, and campaign finance. Rush Limbaugh has been railing against Mr. McCain on his popular radio show, and Mr. Romney has enlisted a former Pennsylvania senator, Rick Santorum, to record phone messages to voters criticizing the Arizona senator.

Mr. Romney's campaign yesterday also tried to link Mr. McCain to the 2004 Democratic nominee, Senator Kerry, by sending an e-mail to reporters with a series of old news articles reporting that Mr. McCain made an unsuccessful push to be Mr. Kerry's running mate.

Trying to hold the conservative flank, the McCain campaign last night launched a national ad hitting Mr. Romney for changing his position on key issues over his career. The spot, titled "Trust," shows a widely circulated video clip of Mr. Romney distancing himself from the legacy of President Reagan. "Mitt Romney was against Ronald Reagan before he was for him," an announcer intones. "If we can't trust Mitt Romney on Ronald Reagan, how can we trust him to lead America?"

As Mr. McCain's campaign raced to run a last-minute ad before Super Tuesday, the candidate himself did his part on the bus. Portraying the former Massachusetts governor as a panderer who is out-of-step with fiscal conservatives, Mr. McCain cited his support for ethanol subsidies in Iowa and billions of dollars in government aid to the auto industry in Michigan. He also held aloft a copy of yesterday's Boston Globe, which reported that the cost of the health care plan Mr. Romney signed in Massachusetts had doubled.

"I don't think Romney is going to succeed in getting to the right of me," he said.

Mr. Giuliani sat quietly for much of the bus-ride discussion yesterday, jumping in when prompted by Mr. McCain or when responding to the occasional question from a reporter. The one-time Republican front-runner has become a popular opening act for Mr. McCain, and arrived to enthusiastic cheers at a firehouse rally yesterday in Hamilton, N.J. He joked to the crowd that after getting trounced by Mr. McCain in the early primary states, he finally beat him on Sunday night, winning a friendly Super Bowl bet. "At l I won something from him: the Giants," Mr. Giuliani said to laughter.

He played the same role a couple hours later at a rally at Grand Central Terminal, where Governor Pataki threw his support to Mr. McCain. The brief and modest rally in Vanderbilt Hall served as a reunion of sorts for city Republicans and in particular for Messrs. Giuliani and Pataki, whose relationship was occasionally rocky. Missing, of course, was the one-time Republican who may yet have a say in the presidential race: Mr. Bloomberg.

I was going to vote for McCain just because Giuliani and others threw thr support to him and really because McCain is a distinguished Military Officer worthy of political support. But this posting really alerted me to McCain's political inconsistencies. Now, I have decided after some reflection, I will vote for Romney. Our Country is too important.

[Romney's a Turd]

Mitt Romney should be selling snake oil off the back of a wagon train.
Or, a more updated analogy would be that he should be selling used cadillacs or cubic zirconia on channel 6 at 3am.

[romney is done]

Look Tonight…

Romney is DONE !!!

GOP will get
Together to STAND
behind McCain !!!

Published by WHOM? The allegation is nonsense, especially if you know anything about mortgages or real estate. You apparently don't.

McCain will make a great President. Romney does not appeal to voters at all.

Is that right? You switched your vote on the basis of some third rate demagoguery you found on this wonderful forum?

Not only should you not be allowed to vote- you should be denied the right to breed.

People like you never care about "life." Which is why you can be depended on to force your silly superstitions on others, while voting down any funding to pay for the welfare of those millions of children who would be born out of wedlock.

This country- fortunately- has moved beyond the beliefs of ancient cults that were used to force people to bend to the rules of these witch doctors, many of whom are child molesters anyway.


We can do without your moral hypocrisy.
