Thompson's against a constitutional ban on gay marriage also. The feds should stay out of every thing that they are not specifically authorized to deal with by the constitution.

Allowing filibusters is not the same as being against conservative judges.

He's the most conservative guy left in the race. Maybe not the most Republican, but the most conservative hands down. Again I may cast a primary vote for Thompson but we will have to see what happens between now and November.

age discrimination!

If you were hiring someone for a business this comment would be illegal. I thought of this quite a bit and believe the same applies considering that voting for someone is also giving your say to hire them for president.

If I was hiring, I would not make such a comment. I'd find another reason.

Since my vote (the popular vote) does not really elect the president, but rather the electoral college, I dont really feel like I am hiring anyone.

You'd find another reason or give another reason all the long believing he is too old? :lol:

I didn't realize legalized prostitution and drug use were conservative values.

And abortion is ie Rudy.

What is conservative?

What are we conserving?

States rights I thought and personal rights also.

Are you saying that Ron Paul will legalize drug use and prostitution if elected? If so I ask how? Patriot Act 3?

Pot was legalized in California for "medical" purposes and is sold on nearly every block the way I understand it. Either there are alot of really sick folks in Cali or the GOP governor there ain't conservative. Come one, this is the state that gave us Ronald Reagan.

Pot should be legal for medical use. Cancer paitents with stomach cancer could eat better, control there pain and spend time with family there last days. Todays option a morphine induced coma. Pot is one of the best stomach pain med. Non addictive and you are coherent. Sorry for the hijack :wink:

It darn sure is, if you allow the fillibuster KNOWING that the effect of it is that the conservative judge won't ever get a chance to be confirmed. This was one of McCain's cute little attempts at currying favor with the liberal media at the expense of the conservative cause. I for one will never forget it.

Oh, and McCain also voted against the Bush tax cuts, too, lest we forget.

Paul is moonbat crazy. You are going to vote for Thompson AFTER he's already dropped out? Talk about wasting your vote.

McCain could win independents that would take votes from Clinton.

That is a marginal strategy, one that's trying not to lose instead of trying to win. McCain would take some independents, but Romney or someone at least nominally conservative in his record would motivate the base to go vote. McCain would never motivate enough conservative Republicans to go vote to the point where his independents-performance would matter.

Not a McCain apologist, but as I understand it, it was a protest vote because he wanted restraint on spending included in the proposal.

As for his possible running mate, I heard Trent Lott speaking highly of him today on MSMBC...

I chose Rudy, although it looks more and more likely that he will be gone by the end of the month. My next choice would be Romney.

I cannot bring myself to vote for McCain. If he does recieve the nomination I'll probably end up voting 3rd party or abstaining. A vote between McCain and Clinton, what honestly is the difference?
