It sounds a little bit survival-mode ON
You should note that John McCain who has been described as “pro-war” received nearly twice as much as Hillary.
Hillary is too polarizing and will NEVER be elected president. One of the LARGEST voting blocks is the OVER 65 group. A VAST number of those over 70 would NEVER vote for ANY woman, which is one reason the Democrats are hoping, praying and crossing their fingers ANY Dem but Hillary gets the nomination.
NOT a Hillary fan at all here. Just noting that she did get more support from the active military than Mr. Self-proclaimed-WoT-candidate Rudy. I thought that was noteworthy.
I did notice McCain’s numbers but, John McCain has 2 chances of becoming president, very slim & none. I actually think Hillary has a better chance than he does.
McCain is a Libertarian in Republican clothing. I was a McCainiac when he ran against “W” in 2000. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a BETTER chance of being elected President than McCain. Reagan’s age related dementia during his last few years in office has eliminated the opportunity for ANYONE over 70 perhaps even 68 being elected Pres. There is also the issue of the Crazy Christians who REFUSE to vote for ANYONE who does not thump The Big Book of Myths and Fables that will keep McCain out of the White House.
I would vote for a BBoMaF thumper BEFORE I would vote for Hillary. I’d rather live in a fascist nation than a communist nation.
I would like to see Ron Paul get the Republican nomination but Romney will more than likely lead the ticket.
I might have voted for McCain in 2000. I was certainly watching him closely. He would have been oh so much better than Dubya.
I like many things about Ron Paul but there are also many things I don’t like. I LOVE the way he defends the constitution.
Although Hillary would be just about my last pick, I don’t see her as being communist at all. Socialist maybe? But, I am all for universal health coverage and I’m sure you don’t agree with that. =)
