McCain snags Danforth’s support

Here we just wrote that Sen. John McCain didn’t have much backing from the state’s GOP establishment when this news flies into our inbox: ex-Sen. John Danforth, perhaps the most resspected party elder in the state, will endorse the Arizona Republican’s presidential bid.

“John McCain’s lifetime of service, unparalleled knowledge of world affairs and ability to work across party lines make him the best candidate in this election,” said Danforth in a statement released by McCain’s campaign on Thursday. “In these uncertain times, John McCain is uniquely equipped to meet our challenges and lead our nation in the struggle against radical Islamic extremism.”

The release also said Danforth will serve as an honorary chair of the McCain campaign.

See next post about McCain’s rally tomorrow in Chesterfield!

Just another indication that no matter what happens next November, we will have the “unBush” as President! McCain is for the environment, campaign finance reform, and was against the Bush tax cuts for the super-rich and against waterboarding/other forms of torture. Romney represents the third term for the CheneyBush gang.

A sincere query(no, not another jab at Republican Senator Larry Craig or Republican Congressman Mark Foley): who is Congressman Todd Akin, Republican-Plaza Frontenac supporting for President? Does anyone know? My guess is Romney as Akin is a faithful drinker of the CheneyBush kool-aid and is the local lap-dog of the US Chamber of Commerce. Wake up, America!

Lizz - Why do you have to post the same thing in so many different places? And why do you care who Akin is supporting? My guess would be Huckabee: Unless Akin has changed dramatically since I knew him personally, he would place more importance in a candidate’s religious beliefs than in the dictates of the Republican powers that be. Which is to say, he’ll support the evangelical Christian over the Mormon, even if the big cheese in Washington demands otherwise. The only twist to this is, Huckabee isn’t all that conservative … then again, neither is Romney if you catch him on the right side of the flip-flop cycle.

I wish someone, a reporter perhaps, would ask Congressman Todd Akin, Republican-Plaza Frontenac who he is supporting. No offense, NK, but I sincerely doubt that he could support a candidate who described Romney(CheneyBush’s candidate to fill their third term)as being the CEO who lays off people! I mean, Akin is so closely-tied to big business and has voted down the line with the US Chamber of Commerce that he surely could not support a candidate who is so disrespectful of CEOs! Think about it! Anyway…why hasn’t the media approached him about this? Maybe he is conflicted about it : personal religious credo versus the need to feed the greed of the plutocracy. I still wonder about what Jesus would do about waterboarding? How does that fit in with being a serious Christian? And, if he buys into the “prosperity gospel” then I, along with numerous other Christians, would certainly take issue with his brand of Christianity! So, where does the Toddster stand?

Lizz - Last time I checked, Akin was a conservative Presbyterian (PCA). While the household income of PCA members is way above average, the church does not teach the “prosperity gospel.”

John McCain has won 93 out of 2000 delegates. All of the people that would have supported him in the first place are taking advantage of the situation to come out publicly right before Super Tuesday. But even after Super Tuesday there will be another 900 delegates up for grabs. So I am not going to fearfully run out and vote for Mitt Romney to save the planet from John McCain. I am going to vote for the person I believe is the best candidate, who has as many delegates as Romney, who is better than both Romney and McCain.

Several months ago, Mike Huckabee was saying in the debates that the economy was slipping. Mitt Romney kept saying everything was just fine. So much for his expertise on the economy. Mike Huckabee was overwhelmingly re-elected twice by the people of Arkansas. Mitt Romney knew he would not win a second term and so decided not to even try. John McCain refuses to say that he would vote differently if his amnesty bill came before him today. Mike Huckabee has never supported amnesty, sanctuary cities, nor drivers licenses for illegals, and says that he can secure the border in 180 days.

For these and many other reasons, I will vote for Mike Huckabee on February 5th.

I was a John Edwards supporter and I am very upset that he dropped out before Super Tuesday and I am very dissapointed that the media is making it a two person race on both sides. As of now I am leaning towards Mike Huckabee because of his populist values. Even though I disagree with some of the things that he believes in, I strongly feel that you fine people in Missouri should give him an opportunity this Tuesday for a victory in Missouri.
