At the below web site is an Article for CNN where McCain is vowing to "wrap this up" - then there is a place for comments from the readers. So far no one is biting. My comment is listed below:
McCain wouldn't get my vote if he were the last man on earth. I am sticking with Romney and if he doesn't get the nomination then I am not voting in Nov.
Unlike Mr. McCain/Kennedy, I don't need an election to remind me which country I should show my alligence to.
I don't need an election to remind me we speak English in America.
I don't need an election to teach me that stealing American citizens social security cards for illegal employment is wrong.
I don't care if he is a "war hero" that does not give him the right to take my hard earned tax dollars and use them to "enable" an very oil rich country (Mexico) by providing health care, education, food stamps etc. to the poor citizens they push over the border because they don't want to care for them.
Let Mr. Fox and Calderon do without and give some of that oil money up for schools and hospitals and food for the poor in their country.
It is their responsibility. HOLD FREAKIN MEXICO ACCOUNTABLE - Just say NO to McCain/Kennedy. Now and forever!
I don't need to believe that someone who called me a biggot because I put America first and I want my taxes to go to America (not illegals so they can send 54 billion in remittances home) will now Kiss and make up for my vote?
NO sorry - saw your soul the first time you showed it.
I remember when Bush said he was ready to be the most bi-partisian President of all time. We listen he made this the most least bi-partisian of all time. Believe McCain will unite the Conservatives when he himself is not Conservative. I'll never believe it. He couldn't unit superglue.
"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams
This is my first reaction too. But (the famous "but monkey") then I think about who Hillary would appoint to the Supreme court and what she would do to our military..........
"Good fences make good neighbors."-Robert Frost "Too BAD!!"-Glenn Beck
He'll wrap it up all right--with more lies and duty first (to Mexico). I, too, would not vote for him if he were the last man on earth. Never. I will write in a name on my ballot, and you are right, SP, he couldn't unite anyone!
We have got to get behind Mitt and mount our own campaign to help him take other primary states and put the heat on come Convention time. There are a few of us now trying to organize for stopping him in Texas.
CJBL, there is another article on CNN by Roland S. Martin. Here are some of his pro McCain/con Conservative remarks. Some of his remarks were:
Folks, McCain is a pragmatic leader trying to solve a difficult situation.
-- Listening to the irrational and hysterical response of conservatives to the presidential candidacy of Sen. John McCain would be laughable if it wasn't so serious.Roland S. Martin says some conservatives are opposed to Sen. John McCain's run to the presidency.
In an effort to exercise leadership on a volatile issue, McCain chose not to be a demagogue and work out a compromise bill that would curtail the nation's unsecured borders, while figuring out a way to deal with the 12 million illegal immigrants already here. If you talk to the rabid conservative talk show hosts and their wild and angry listeners, their only option is to throw these immigrants out of the country. In former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, they have a very sympathetic ear.
But we all know the truth. That will never happen. Never.
There's more on the cnn site to this ridiculous article, and here is his email address if you want to email this irrational person/cnn contributor.
McAmnesty---the great divider. The essense of pure evil even to the left of the dreaded Hillary. I'm voting Constitution Party, unless, by a miracle, Romney, Tancredo, Lou Dobbs, Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, or even Ron Paul get the nomination.

I think it would be good if we all phoned the 202 numbers in the borders state Senators and or Emailed, or Fax each of them. I know many of you have done more than me, but watch out I will sneak up on you.
We need to warn our friends and relatives living in these four states as to the absolute danger of a Mc Nut-Cain Presidency. No one will have a chance in the Republican party except Mitt Romney against Clinton or Obama. I don't think we have the option to vote for fringe candidates; we must stand unted at least until Hitlery or Hussin are Inaguarated. And then we better elect sensible conservative House members and Senators to override their 'net bag full of ideas' as in Socialized/Socialistic Medicine and the philosophy of 'run and hide' from Jihadists, as in bringing all the troops home within a year.
I see little difference between Obama, Clinton and McCain except that McCain has betrayed me and taken away my political voice.
Now it's getting interesting. Hillary has promised a chicken in every pot and if you're Hispanic you get two. Our fighting men and women are coming back within a year, everyone gets healthcare and a good education.
I can't wait to see her try to make good on all her promises and keep the economy going at the same time. It would serve her right if everyone is at her throat before her term is over. Bush is leaving the next president with a train-load of problems, none easily resolvable. We are in the middle of a reorganization as a country, moving from sovereign goals to regional goals and reorganization seldom goes smoothly.
We have been remodeled into a service based economy instead of a manufactuing based econony and service jobs seldom support families. Our military people will come back looking for jobs and we've given all those exciting service jobs to illegals who will soon be citizens. Jobs that pay a little more in technology have gone to East Indians on H-1b visas.
McCain's nomination means a victory for Democrats and I think its been stacked that way.
Posted in good conscience after the great thread cleansing of November 2007 AD in which we stepped in unison to declare our good works.
I too, believe we would be frightened to know how many votes will be added or withdrawn from boxes and even on the 'touch style' voting machines.
From what we know happened in New Hampshire we have no reason to complain about Putin. And we send envoys to other nations to insure the sanctity of the ballots. More than a shade of hypocrisy.
I hope McCain is at home, in Arizona when an American civil war breaks out in his neighborhood.
GLENN: Glad we can all rally around John McCain. It's great. We've got amnesty right around the corner, we have the closure of Guantanamo Bay, we have less information from terrorists, we have a 50-cent a gallon gas tax coming thanks to McCain/Lieberman, more assaults on the First Amendment, possibly the fairness doctrine although I don't know how we could make a case for the fairness doctrine because the media today is going to start to make the case that Rush Limbaugh and everybody on talk radio's completely irrelevant.
Here's the real case on talk radio. Our listeners are not zombies. We don't have zombies listening to us. We have thinking individuals. We have smart, educated, wealthy individuals that listen to our programs. Not all of them, but I know because I've seen the stats on the top three, they are wealthy, successful, educated people. Wealthy, successful, educated people generally aren't zombies. So they're not zombies. So why would we need a fairness doctrine? I love this. We're so powerful, we can change everything and that's why they need to shut us down with the fairness doctrine and yet now they will make the case that we're completely irrelevant. Well, let's go with we're completely irrelevant. Let's carry that banner: Talk radio is completely irrelevant because as long as they believe that, there won't be a fairness doctrine.
Now here's might have favorite story of the day. Running as a conservative, John McCain rolled up huge victories last night, New York, New Jersey and beyond. Running as a conservative is what helped him win in New York and New Jersey. Running as a conservative. Because they love them. Let me just say this. Running as a conservative helped him roll up huge victories last night in New York and New Jersey. I've got to tell you if I believe one more conservative on the streets of New York and New Jersey (laughing). Right now you walk up in the street and you see somebody who's -- it happened this morning with me with Pat Buchanan. Pat Buchanan comes into the elevator. I'm in the elevator and Pat's in the elevator and I look at him. I'm like, Pat (crying), the conservative. We hugged each other for a while. "I feel so alone (crying)." There are no conservatives in Manhattan! They've all been locked away. They have all gone insane. All the conservatives are rocking back and forth some place in Bellevue going, I just don't get it, I just don't understand it. And New Jersey? That's how John McCain won big in New Jersey because of the conservative stance he took?
Now, here's the best part of the story. Running as a conservative, John McCain rolled up huge victories last night in New York, New Jersey and beyond but if history is any guide, the McCain that we've seen of late on the campaign trail is the most conservative John McCain we will see. He's taken a commanding lead now in the GOP primary and packaging himself as a true conservative committed to limited government to slash federal spending and avowed conservative Supreme Court justices. His claim, he claims the mantle of Ronald Reagan, even claims the mantle of Barry Goldwater, conservatives' crash version of Reagan. But as McCain clinches the GOP nomination, he will now begin his leftward lurch.
So John McCain now is going to go left. Oh. Who would have seen that coming? How far left is he going to go? I think he's already there. Quote, quote: Stu, who was the flip-flopper?
STU: Well, Glenn, I've learned, if I've learned one thing from political advertising, it's that Mitt Romney is a flip-flopper.
GLENN: Yeah. John McCain's not a flip-flopper, right?
STU: No. Straight Talk Express.
GLENN: Stu.
STU: Yes?
GLENN: I don't think I can do this job anymore (crying). I don't. I don't think I can do this job anymore. I really done.
STU: We need to get Pat Gray on the phone, see if he feels like maybe doing an hour and a half or so today.
GLENN: I just don't know how to do it anymore without going insane.
STU: You need to stop letting it bother you.
GLENN: It's not bothering me.
STU: It is bothering you. It's driving you insane.
GLENN: It's not bothering me. I don't know how to make sense of it anymore. This is my job. My job is to try to make sense of stuff. I can't make sense of this.
STU: Who told you that it makes sense? What person came to you and said this world makes sense? That person doesn't make sense.
GLENN: Listen to this. Listen to this next sentence: John McCain will now return to his lifelong positions as soft on illegal immigration, skeptical of tax cuts and favoring strong federal control over things like campaign financing.
STU: Well, Glenn, I mean, think about it.
GLENN: I need a psychiatrist on the phone.
STU: I think --
GLENN: I need a psychiatrist on the phone right now. I need a psychiatrist. Clear the phones.
STU: Clear some phones and just --
GLENN: I need an actual board certified --
STU: I love this idea.
GLENN: There's not been any kind of, you know, real bad lawsuits in your career.
STU: We can tell you over --
GLENN: You don't work out of the basement of your house.
STU: That's probably fine even.
GLENN: No.
STU: We tell you over and over again that you're crazy but you need to hear it from a professional.
GLENN: This is media. This is the media. What has the media been telling us? "Oh, no, he's a real conservative. Oh, no, no, he's not a flip-flopper, no." Now they are saying this whole sham that he put up as a conservative, now he's going to shed it. He's going to dart left and he's going to go back to his lifelong positions, the ones that we've been trying to point out have been lifelong... which one of us is insane?! I want to know.
"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams
They're calling those GOP people (independent here) who desert their party and vote for Hillary over McCain "suicide voters."
I thinks it's suicide either way but McCain is exactly like Bush, a man who will do exactly as he pleases, ignore the people and lead us into a NAU.
Of course there really is no NAU and it's all conspiracy theory. Just because we subsidize them, educate them and hospitalize them, all at our expense, doesn't mean anything. Just because we send billions over to Mexico, along with some of our manufacturing, doesen't mean anything. Just because Bush met with leaders of Canada and Mexico and made deals doesn't mean anything. Just because Mexico is dependent on the money Mexican nationals send home means nothing. Just because we regulate our commerce and food labels with them doesn't mean anything. Just because Bush's closest advisors and friends are for a NAU doesn't mean anything. Just because some idiots wants 20 million of them to become citizens, and it's going to hurt Americans and is not in the best interests of this country, doesn't mean anything. There is no NAU. Geez! Those conspiracy nuts are really stupid!
Oh -- I almost forgot. Just because we're about to have a Presidential election and all the contenders will be for AMNESTY doesn't mean there's a NAU agenda. No way.

Lou Dobbs showed the top donors for Obama and for McCain and they were almost all Wall Street firms, with about the same about to either side. That tells me all I need to know. I'm thinking more and more that I'll just sit this one out.
FireWing said: Never say never, folks. There will come a time when our hatred of Hillary is greater than our hatred of McCain.
Then again.......maybe not.
Nope firewing,still have the same amount of hatred for both of them,and always will. McCain dosen't have this wrap up with me.
For all who have fallen,we must move forward But, for the right reasons.*In my mind, so called "legal residency" is just as a threat as illegal immigration and it the missing topic in the immigration debate.*Every man dies,but not every man truely lives*
