At 70, McCain Takes On Talk of His Age

Senator John McCain was fielding questions at a town-hall-style meeting earlier this month in Ankeny, Iowa, when a woman raised her hand and asked him, “from one white head to another white head,” why he wanted to be president in such troubled times.

“You’re getting pretty old!” she said, after praising his long service to the country. “And it’s such a hard job!”

McCain's Support Drops Among Iowa Republicans

Senator John McCain's standing has dropped in Iowa among Republican contenders in the presidential race.

Once viewed as a front-runner, he's now in single digits.

Former presidential advisor David Gergen thinks he knows why. "Obviously his stand on the war as well as his stand on immigration -- both of those have caused him unhappiness in different parts of the Republican party."

McCain Warns Deportations Could Lead to Riots!

Just when the dust was beginning to settle following President Bush's latest assault on common sense, in which he accused conservatives of "spreading fear" by being honest about amnesty, Senator John McCain decided that fear mongering was not such a bad tactic after all.

In fact, McCain decided that fear mongering was essential in trying to sell his amnesty snake oil to a skeptical and increasingly suspicious public.On June 2, McCain rolled out his fear-based defense of amnesty on the campaign trail in Le Mars, Iowa.

Responding to a question about deportation of illegal aliens, McCain delivered the following dilly:

"In case you hadn't noticed, the thousands of people who have been relegated to ghettos have risen up and burned cars in France,'' McCain said. ``They've got huge problems in France. They have tremendous problems. The police can't even go into certain areas in the suburbs of Paris. I don't want that in the suburbs of America.''

Owner's Comments: BS! Senator McCain is pandering to the Hispanic vote and trying his best to convince everyone else that it would be to "Hard" or "Dangerous" for us to deport illegals. The logical outgrowth of that type of thinking is that it is to "Hard" or "Dangerous" for us to arrest Drug pushers so lets just stop now. Senator McCain it is time for you to switch parties, you are NOT a Republican! By The way I strongly recommend everyone read this article it is excellent.

McCain Derides Idea Of Repealing War Support

RENO, Nev., May 5 -- Republican Sen. John McCain criticized Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's move to repeal congressional authorization for the Iraq war, saying it's "the worst possible idea that anybody could have."

Speaking to reporters after a town-hall meeting Saturday in Reno, McCain (Ariz.) said the new war strategy announced by President Bush in January is beginning to show "some success" and should be given a chance to succeed.

McCain Tries to Recapture Vigor of His Last Campaign

TEMPE, Ariz., April 28 — Several times this week — while wrapping up a town hall meeting in Des Moines, or a conference call with bloggers from Sioux City, Iowa — Senator John McCain and his listeners were told that there was time for just one more question. “Can I do two more?” Mr. McCain would ask.

As he toured crucial states this week after announcing his candidacy for president, Mr. McCain, a Republican of Arizona, made it clear that the policy he adopted as a candidate in 2000 of speaking freely, frequently and at length to reporters and audiences was still in place as he struggled to regain front-runner status.

McCain stakes bid on winning war

By Michael D. Shear, Washington Post April 8, 2007

WASHINGTON -- Senator John McCain will launch a high-profile effort this week to convince Americans that the Iraq war is winnable, embracing the unpopular conflict with renewed vigor as he attempts to reignite his stalling bid for the presidency.

With the Virginia Military Institute as a backdrop, the Republican from Arizona plans to contend in a speech on Wednesday that victory in Iraq is essential to American security and that President Bush's war machine is finally getting on track after four years, aides and advisers said.

McCain: Americans Don't See Iraq's Gains

BAGHDAD -- Sen. John McCain criticized reports out of Iraq he said focused unfairly on violence, saying Sunday that Americans were not getting a "full picture" of progress in the security crackdown in the capital.

McCain, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, was combative during a press conference in the military's media center in the heavily guarded Green Zone, and responded testily to a question about remarks he had made in the United States last week that it was safe to walk some Baghdad streets.

Fundraising Race Heats As Deadline Looms

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton raises nearly $3 million in a single event and husband Bill pleads for more. John McCain publicly frets about falling financially behind.

With the first quarter of fundraising ending Saturday, the presidential campaigns are working overtime to make sure they don't get tagged as losers in the money race.

"Money in the off year has never been more important than in this presidential cycle," said Michael Toner, a former Federal Election Commission chairman.

Owner Comments: Oh Poor Poor RINO McCain, perhaps he should switch to the Democrat party since he agrees with them more often than he does the conservative majority in the Republican Party. If you are a member of the National Republican Party Leadership let this be a warning the Conservative base will NEVER support John McCain!

John McCain Says Republicans Spent Their Way Into Losing Control of Congress

CONWAY, S.C. — Republicans spent their way into losing control of Congress, presidential candidate John McCain says.

"The reason why we lost that election, my dear friends, was because we let spending get out of control," McCain told a breakfast crowd Saturday. "We came to power in 1994 to change government and government changed us."

McCain told the 225 people gathered at a restaurant on a bend in the Waccamaw River, not far from Myrtle Beach, that Republicans began to value power over principle, which caused spending to lurch completely out of control.

"It's got to stop," he said of the excesses, which also led to corruption among members of Congress. "We're going to have to clean up our act."

In Iowa, McCain Says Troop Increase Necessary

Arizona Sen. John McCain said there are no good options in Iraq if President George W. Bush's current proposal to increase troops fails.

McCain, who campaigned in Des Moines Saturday, said he doesn't know what other options there are because if the United States fails, he said that it's going to be very difficult to maintain the support of the American people.

Giuliani up 25 points over McCain: poll

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani, virtually tied with John McCain in a January poll, held a 25-point lead over the Arizona senator in a Newsweek magazine survey released on Saturday.

Among registered Republicans, 59 percent said they backed the former New York City mayor and 34 percent said they favored McCain, who announced on Wednesday he would seek the presidency in 2008, Newsweek said.

"Most registered Republicans are not familiar with Giuliani's positions on key social issues," the magazine said, listing his support for abortion rights and gun control as examples.

Early Polls are almost as important and the wishes of French voters. Totally insignificant in other words ---- On the other hand we can take comfort in the fact that Senator McCain is so far behind at this point.

British PM sacrificed career for Iraq: McCain

Seattle: Republican presidential hopeful John McCain said that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has sacrificed his career to support the Iraq war, and the Arizona senator acknowledged that he could face the same fate.

McCain, a staunch defender of President George W. Bush's new Iraq troop deployment strategy, said on Friday he worries that a cutback of British troops in southern Iraq announced by Blair this week could lead to stronger control by "Iranian-backed Shiite" forces. But he said Blair and the British deserve gratitude for their efforts.

McCain: Iraq War Mismanaged for Years

BLUFFTON, S.C. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday the war in Iraq has been mismanaged for years and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will be remembered as one of the worst in history.

"We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement _ that's the kindest word I can give you _ of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war," the Arizona senator told an overflow crowd of more than 800 at a retirement community near Hilton Head Island, S.C. "The price is very, very heavy and I regret it enormously."

Back at Home, McCain Annoys the G.O.P. Right

Back at Home, McCain Annoys the G.O.P. Right
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
SURPRISE, Ariz., Feb. 13 — The chairman of the local Republican Party here in the most populous county in Arizona has in his possession a bright yellow button with a black line slashed through the name McCain.

“I don’t wear it out very often,” said the chairman, Lyle Tuttle of the Maricopa County Republican Committee, in a slightly sheepish coda to a 20-minute vituperation about the state’s senior senator, served up from his living room chair.

“I think those who do not support Senator McCain,” Mr. Tuttle continued, “if they could just get the word out and help people to understand what has happened with him, we could have an impact.”

McCain recruits party bruisers for presidential campaign

WASHINGTON: Senator John McCain, intent on succeeding where his freewheeling presidential campaign of 2000 failed, is assembling a team of political bruisers for 2008.

And it includes advisers who once sought to skewer him and whose work he has criticized as stepping over the line in the past.

In 2000, McCain, Republican of Arizona, said the advertisements run against him by George W. Bush, then the governor of Texas, distorted his record. But he has hired three top members of the team that made those commercials — Mark McKinnon, Russell Schriefer and Stuart Stevens — to work on his presidential campaign.

Which should remove any doubt from your mind that Senator McCain is more intrested in winning than he is in standing on or running on his principles.

Preparations Set, Giuliani Faces a Choice

Preparations Set, Giuliani Faces a Choice
By SAM ROBERTS

Rudolph W. Giuliani, who developed a national reputation for decisive and reassuring leadership after 9/11, now faces the odd challenge of having to reassure some supporters that he can be decisive about a very different issue: running for president.

Even as his fellow Republican John McCain and fellow New Yorker Hillary Rodham Clinton have all but formally declared their candidacies, Mr. Giuliani has proceeded more cautiously.

Since last month, he has formed an exploratory committee, more aggressively recruited a campaign staff and moved to divest himself of one of his companies. And he is now visiting New Hampshire, home to the first primary, for the second time in three months. But he has studiously avoided making a public commitment to run.

2008: Hillary vs McCain?

2008: Hillary vs McCain?
By TONY KARON

Hillary Clinton is the clear front-runner to win the Democratic party's nomination for President in 2008, but the Republican race will be a close contest between Senator John McCain and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani — with McCain edging Giuliani by a three- to four-point margin. And a presidential face-off between Clinton and McCain, right now, would be close to a dead heat. Those are some of the key findings of a new TIME poll earlier this week that canvassed a random sample of 1,064 registered voters by phone.

Despite the buzz generated by Senator Barack Obama entering the race, the survey found that Senator Clinton would beat him for the Democratic nomination by a margin of 40% to 21%. Senator John Edwards is a distant third with 11%. Obama clearly suffers a disadvantage in profile among likely voters, with only 51% indicating that they knew enough about him to form an opinion, compared with 94% saying the same of Hillary Clinton. In Obama's favor, however, is his far lower negative ratings. While 58% of voters familiar with Hillary Clinton have a positive view of her, 41% give her negative marks, for a net favorability score of +17. By contrast, Obama's net favorability score is +47. On the Republican side, Giuliani has a net favorability rating of +68, with only 14% having a negative view of him. McCain's net favorability score is +45.
