McCAIN Strikes Back

ARLINGTON, VA -- The Republican Party of Louisiana today announced that John McCain won the Louisiana Caucus held yesterday, January 22nd. On the heels of his win in South Carolina last weekend, victory in Louisiana is another indication of John McCain's growing momentum and of the fact that John McCain is the consistent conservative choice capable of winning the GOP stronghold of the South this November.


John McCain's Louisiana Chair, former Governor Buddy Roemer, issued the following statement regarding the results of the Louisiana Caucus:

"Last night's results go to show that John McCain is the best hope of conservatives here in Louisiana and across the country. The people of Louisiana know that actions speak louder than words, and that's why they chose John McCain over Mitt Romney. He is the only candidate with a long-held and consistent record of defending life, of protecting our national security, and of promoting pro-growth economic principles that benefit hard-working American families. John McCain is quickly emerging as the consensus candidate in the Republican race and the only conservative who can win this November."

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today in New York City, former Senator Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY) endorsed John McCain for President of the United States.

Senator D'Amato issued the following statement on endorsing John McCain:

"John McCain is a genuine American hero and I am proud to lend him my support. My friendship with John dates back to our days of serving together in the Senate. As a Senator, he stood for fiscal responsibility and an unwavering commitment to defending America in a hostile world. I feel very strongly that John is the only Republican candidate that can defeat the Democrats in a general election and I will do everything I can to make sure he is our next President.

"John stood for fighting Islamic terrorism in Iraq when the war was least popular and the cost to him politically was severe. He called for the surge in Iraq and he was right. And now the American people have rewarded him with a surge of his own.

"If America really wants a leader who will change the landscape in Washington, change the way we do business in government, change the way government spends your money so it defends your interests, change the way America stands in the eyes of the world community, then the only person who can bring about that change in this race and to this nation, the only man who has the courage to stand up for what he believes in, is John McCain."

John McCain thanked Senator D'Amato for his support, stating, "Al D'Amato has dedicated his life to serving the people of New York. His advice and counsel will be critical as we work toward a great victory in New York on February 5th, and I am grateful for his support."

From "Fox and Friends" This Morning:

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade: "I talked to this famous actor. I asked him who he was endorsing and here's what he had to say."

Sylvester Stallone: "I like McCain a lot. A lot. And you know, things may change along the way, but there's something about matching the character with the script. And right now, the script that's being written and reality is pretty brutal and pretty hard-edged like a rough action film, and you need somebody who's been in that to deal with it."

Fox News' Steve Doocy: "Look at that, you got the endorsement of Sylvester Stallone, congratulations."

John McCain: "I'm going to Philadelphia and running up the steps."

Qui de Chuck ou de Sylvester va t'il l'emporter...

Sinon c'est quoi le potentiel qu'a Sylvester par rapport à l'électorat potentiellement indecis (pour les primaires tout d'abord)

Sans doute... rien. Je pense pas que le fait que telle ou telle star soutienne un candidat joue sur plus de 2 ou 3 cinglés. Ou alors les gens sont déf!n!t!vement bêtes et il faut rétablir le suffrage censitaire.

Citation :

il faut rétablir le suffrage censitaire.

Je pense de même .

Malheureusement, j'ai bien l'impression que de s'attirer l'image d'un comédien, chanteur ou autre, rapporte des points.

Sylvester est a McCain ce que Bigard est a Sarko lol chacun son porte drapeau et plus il attire l'audimat mieux c'est ^^.

pour MC Cain taper 1 pour.....

Citation :

il faut rétablir le suffrage censitaire

Ca ne changerait rien puisque ce type de suffrage est basé sur l'argent et non sur l'intelligence...pour que cela fonctionne, il faut un droit de vote basé sur l'obtention d'un resultat minimum aux tests de QI

Mais dans ce cas, Dan Quayle n'aurait jamais pu devenir vice president puisqu'il n'aurait meme pas pu etre electeur

Bon allez, meme si c'est hors sujet, je ne peux pas resister:

Que les republicains ne le prennent pas mal hein, je jure que j'aurais autant ri si il avait ete democrate mais tant d'idiotie tombent dans le domaine public et le GOP ne peut se prevaloir de garder Dan Quayle pour lui tout seul

ARLINGTON, VA Today in Miami, Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) endorsed John McCain for President of the United States.

Senator Martinez issued the following statement on endorsing John McCain:

"John McCain is the only candidate ready to lead as commander in chief on day one. He alone has the experience, character and judgment to confront the challenges we face in a dangerous world. He is the one candidate I trust to deal decisively with the transcendent threat of radical Islamic extremism.

"I trust John McCain to reinvigorate our economy, cut taxes, eliminate wasteful spending and restore fiscal sanity in Washington. He understands that the best cure for our economic ills is to allow American families to keep more of what they earn.

"John McCain has firsthand knowledge of the evils of Communism. For decades, he's led the fight for human rights in Cuba and around the world. I have total confidence that John McCain will be Fidel Castro's worst nightmare.

"John McCain's unmatched national security credentials and strong consistent conservative record make him the best candidate to defeat the Democrats in November and lead Republicans to victory in 2008."

John McCain thanked Senator Martinez for his support, stating, "Over the past few years, I have had the honor of getting to know Mel Martinez. In that time, I have come to admire him for his leadership and his dedication to the people of Florida. His advice and counsel will be critical as we toward victory in Florida on Tuesday."

Tiens une petite mesquinerie

Bonjour à tous, ça fait un bail ^^


Je dois avouer que je suis un peu surpris de ces réflexions sur McCain.

A mon avis, McCain n'a plus aucune chance. Malmené dans les sondages, il est très en retrait pour les primaires. Il ne mène dans aucun sondage d'Etat et ne peux donc gagner aucun Etat, ce qui est le plus important dans les primaires. Etre soutenu face à Clinton n'est pas du tout un bon indicateur, à mon avis, car d'autres candidats n'était pas favoris lors des primaires et ont gagné (en 1979, qui aurait parié que Reagan pouvais gagner la primaire, puis l'élection face à Carter ? ).

McCain, c'est fini. Tout comme Fred Thompson qui n'a jamais eu de vrai programme et qui n'a aucune vrai capacité pour débattre.

Seuls trois candidats sortent aujourd'hui du lot selon moi. Giuliani bien entendu, mais il est affaibli. Il pari effectivement sur l'expérience Bush de 1988, mais il n'a pas assez d'argent ni d'avance pour cela je pense. Romney semble ne plus mener en Iowa depuis ce fameux débat, où Huckabee a tout cassé !!! En fait, le dernier espoir de Giuliani serait que Romney et Huckabee continuent à rester à ses diviser les premiers Etats où Giuliani n'est pas majoritaire. Cependant, je crois de moins en moins à la victoire de Giuliani. Tout dépend en fait de l'évolution de Huckabee d'ici à janvier.

Souvenir, souvenir ...

Peut-être McCain repartira d'où il vient... c'est à dire au fond du trou.. euh ... des sondages...

On peut rêver ?

Un vrai neoconservateur doit s'imposer, Mitt Romney, pourquoi pas ?

romney est comme les autres il dit ce que l'électorat veut entendre, je peut te citer un paquet de fois ou il a dit tout et son contraire, pire que john kerry, c'est dire !

Si le but du jeu consiste à se faire rétamer par les démocrates en novembre, alors OK, pourquoi pas Mitt Romney ? Mais à y être il fallait carrément investir Dick Cheney. Pourquoi faire les choses à moitié ?

ARLINGTON, VA U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced the endorsement of 11 Republican National Committee members.

"Electability is becoming a very important issue in this nomination contest and John McCain is the strongest candidate we could nominate to defeat the Democrat nominee in November," said RNC Vice Chairman Chuck Yob.

John McCain thanked the RNC members, stating, "I am honored that these leaders of the Republican Party have endorsed my candidacy, and am grateful for their support," said Senator McCain.

Members of the Republican National Committee are automatically seated as delegates at the Republican National Convention. However, the Michigan delegates may not be seated, because of the early Michigan Republican Primary. From this endorsement list, John McCain has 9 super-delegate votes at the Republican National Convention.

RNC MEMBERS ENDORSE JOHN MCCAIN
Bruce Ash, Arizona
Sharon Giese, Arizona
John Matlusky, Delaware
Alec Poitevint, Georgia
Mary Jo Arndt, Illinois
Steve Cloud, Kansas
Alicia Salisbury, Kansas
Gary Emineth,North Dakota
Mary Jean Jensen, South Dakota

Warren, j'ai choisi Mitt Romney car il est le plus proche de mes idées,
je pense aussi qu'il est l'homme de la situation sur tous les plans et surtout celui de l'économie.

C'est mon candidat préféré dans les primaires du GOP.

Les primaires servent à ça non ?

Je ne vais pas choisir McCain pour la simple raison qu'il est le seul à pouvoir gagner contre les démocrates... il y a même pas 1 mois ce n'était pas lui le seul à pouvoir gagner, mais Giuliani...

Je choisis avec mes convictions personnelles... pas par stratégie ! C'est aussi le but des primaires. La majorité l'emportera.

Après, si McCan l'emporte il est clair que je le préférerai à Clinton ou Obama...

C'est bien ce que j'avais compris et je n'ai jamais reproché à quiconque d'avoir des convictions (même fluctuantes comme Mitt ). D'ailleurs j'ai moi-même soutenu la candidature de John McCain à un moment où il était proche des 10% et en cinquième position dans les sondages, derrière Giuliani, Thomson, Huckabee et Romney.

Romney pense qu'une nation a besoin d'un chef d'entreprise, je pense qu'une nation a besoin d'un leader. Il pense qu'un pays doit être gouverné par un homme d'affaires, je penche plutôt pour un homme d'État. C'est la grande différence entre nous.

Maintenant si Romney devait être investi par le parti républicain et ben j'espère qu'il saura choisir un bon vice-président.

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that former Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT) has endorsed John McCain for president and will serve as the Chairman of John McCain 2008 for the state of Montana.

"There has never been a time that straight talk and an honest approach to the challenges our nation faces could serve this country better," said Senator Burns. "I didn't agree with John on everything, but I knew I could always count on his word, and I am proud to endorse him for president."

John McCain thanked Senator Burns, stating, "Conrad served his country in the United States Marine Corps, and was a dedicated representative of the people of Montana for more than two decades. I am humbled by his support."

McCain supporters in Montana include Senate Republican Leader Corey Stapleton and Lt. Governor John Bohlinger.

Conrad Burns was elected as a Republican to the United States Senate in 1988, he was reelected in 1994, and again in 2000. Senator Burns was born in Gallatin, Missouri where he attended the Gallatin public schools and went on to attend the University of Missouri. He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1955 to 1957. As a senator he served on the Senate Committee on Appropriations; Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that former Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr. has endorsed John McCain for president. Senator Baker has a long history of service to our nation as Senator from Tennessee, Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate, Chief of Staff to President Ronald Reagan, and most recently as U.S. Ambassador to Japan. He served as Honorary National Chair to Fred Thompson's campaign for president.

John McCain welcomed Senator Baker's support, stating, "Howard Baker is one of America's finest public servants, having spent virtually all his life in service to our nation. During his time in the Senate, he showed us all how to preserve one's principles and integrity, while accomplishing the business of the country. He was instrumental in proposing and implementing the commission that reformed Social Security. He guided the passage of President Reagan's package of tax cuts and spending restraint that got our economy going again in the 1980s. He gave up his own political aspirations to become President Reagan's Chief of Staff during challenging times. I am honored that a man of his stature and credibility would add his support to my campaign. I pledge that I will continue the Reagan tradition that Howard Baker so ably served."

Tiens, je croyais que Baker était mort. Comme quoi tous ses endorsements sont finalement utiles à quelque chose.

L'endorsement de Baker est très symbolique puisqu'il fut le mentor de Fred Thompson et un de ses plus fermes soutients.
Et voici un endorsement crucial pour les primaires en Floride.




ARLINGTON, VA -- Tonight in St. Petersburg, Florida Governor Charlie Crist endorsed John McCain for President of the United States.

"Senator John McCain is a true American hero and patriot and I am honored to endorse him tonight in St. Petersburg," said Governor Crist. "He is a tremendous statesman, leader and uniter. I am confident that his years of experience will serve our country well when he becomes the next President of the United States."

John McCain thanked Governor Crist for his support, stating, "Charlie Crist has earned the admiration and respect of the people of Florida for his principled, conservative leadership and boundless optimism for the future of the Sunshine State. He's a leader of the new generation of Republican governors who are putting conservative principles to work for the people of America. I am honored to have his support as we work toward victory in Florida on Tuesday."

Bon ben très bien, celui me me remet une question en tête : est-ce qu'on sait si Charlie Crist est gay finalement ?

Je ne savais pas qu'il y avait autant de RINO au parti Républicain ...

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that the first two Commanders in Chief of the United States Special Operations Command, General James J. Lindsay, USA (Ret.) and General Carl Stiner, USA (Ret.), have joined over 100 former general and flag officers to endorse John McCain for President of the United States.

"Alone among the candidates, Senator McCain had the wisdom to envision a winning strategy in Iraq, and the courage to advocate that strategy despite fierce opposition. That type of leadership -- placing America's interests first -- is precisely what will be required to navigate the difficult challenges ahead," said General Lindsay.

"Senator McCain has served America with great distinction as a military officer and a statesman, and his unmatched national security credentials qualify him to lead America's armed forces from his first day in office," said General Stiner.

John McCain thanked General Lindsay and General Stiner for their support, stating, "I am deeply honored to have earned the support of two of the finest military leaders this country has produced. General Lindsay and General Stiner are true pioneers in the world of Special Operations, and this country owes them a great debt of gratitude for their service. I am proud to have them on board."

General Lindsay's command assignments ranged from platoon through Major Command in peacetime and war. His early assignments were with the 82nd Airborne Division and 77th Special Forces Group. He held eight different positions in the 82nd Airborne from platoon to division level. In Vietnam, he served with the Vietnamese Airborne Brigade, commanded the 2d Battalion 60th Infantry, 9th Infantry Division and was the G3, 9th Infantry Division. As a General Officer, General Lindsay commanded the 82nd Airborne Division, the Infantry School, and the XVIII Airborne Corps. He also served as Commander in Chief, United States Readiness Command and was the first Commander in Chief of the United States Special Operations Command.

General Stiner was the second Commander in Chief of the United States Special Operations Command, serving from 1990 to 1993. Previously, he spent a large part of his career as commander of many of the nation's preeminent contingency strike forces, such as the XVIII Airborne Corps, the 82nd Airborne Division, and the Joint Special Operations Command. Among the missions with which he was involved are the Achille Lauro hostage rescue, the invasion of Panama, and operations during Desert Storm.

Dites-moi, il serait possible d'avoir le programme présidentiel de Mccain svp ? ou-est ce que je peux le trouver ?
