Mike DeWine wants to be either the VP with McCain or the next AG in Washington D.C.. So if you people out in the Republican party in the U.S.A. think your getting a constitutional conservative, think otherwise. How many times do I have to say it?

How about the last 10 years of his senatorial life where he transformed into a liberal. Probably would get about a 30 rating. Only thing he was consistent with us was on taxes. Worst thing McCain could have ever done was put that jacka_s in the spotlight as part of his campaign. Running it in Ohio no less. Just when I was beginning to resolve myself to McCain I had to see Dewine's puss on the tube. Who is going to appeal to us next, Rinovich? Dewine with a rating of 80 from ACU?

McCain had a 2005 lifetime rating of 83. Richard Shelby, Ted Stevens, Lisa Murkowski, Dick Lugar, Judd Gregg, Pete Domenici, George Voinovich, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, and Gordon Smith all have lower lifetime ACU ratings than DeWine. And several GOP Senators were right around DeWine: John Warner, Kit Bond, Thad Cochran, and Chuck Grassley. So yeah, the blind assertion that DeWine is a liberal is absurd.

Also, there are other people with better resumes and accomplishments than Watts. Pawlenty Chris Cox Rob Portman Just to name a few. I like JC Watts, but he has been out of the spotlight for years.

However, I have heard that Powell may endorse Obama. As for Martinez, he was born in Cuba and can't be President. What about J.C. Watts? Another comment on the Gang of 14. If an agreement on judges was not reached, the GOP would have changed Senate rules and eliminated the filabuster. While that would have provided short term gain, it would be a disaster with a Democratic Senate and a Democratic President. Just think of the socialists that Obama or Hillary would nominate that would sale through without the protection of the filibuster for the GOP minority.

However, describing your views as an 'irrational hatred' may have been a little strong but that is because that whole RINO thing reminds me of Hannity, Coulter, and Malkin and other idiots (not saying you're one) and irked me. Regardless, I'm glad to see that McCain may not be your guy but you'll vote for him. More folks need to be like you in that regard.
