We're knocking on Rudy's door.
New Jersey For McCain!

Baroni for Governor!
McCain NJ Supporter
You have to give credit to Senator Baroni he supported Senator McCain from day one.Bill could of took the "high road" and supported Rudy but, he had the fortitude and perseverance to stick with what he believes in.Team Baroni is now Team McCain .John McCain is going to be the next President
Nothing against
Bill, but it will be a sad day in America if John McCain wins the Republican Party nomination for President.
Great Day
It will be a great day when John McCain becomes President.John McCain fought for this Great Country and was tortured for 6 years.He has the foreign policy experience second to none.He is a independent thinker and he realizes that we have to cut spending in Washington .
Does Anybody Value Independence?
I don’t expect the conservatives that dislike McCain to suddenly fall in love with him, it just becomes upsetting to see that some people would go to great lengths to make sure he won’t win, even if the person who beats him would get trounced by the Democratic nominee or sold his soul to get the nomination.
Independence is a rare quality these days. At the end of the day I respect a politician who doesn’t go to their particular base and asks if it’s ok to disagree with them on something. I have more respect for a politician who does what they believe is right to solve America’s problems rather than worry about pleasing their base or losing a primary election, even if I disagree with the decision their making.
I’m not asking for people to go against their principles and I sure as hell don’t expect them to. I’m asking that people take a second or a third look at the candidates and think hard about what they feel is best for this country and to vote for someone they know is honest, even if they disagree with some of their votes or positions. To me, John McCain is that person.
Fun Fact of the day:McCain has a 82% American Conservative Union rating.
