#3 McCain's really been working on polishing his "conservative" image lately. Aside from the WoT, I wish I trusted him more.

#4 I like the sentiment but I still don't think I could vote for him. Maybe if he chose Duncan Hunter for his running mate...

#5 If McCain is the only candidate who makes the commitment to take down Iran, then he's got my vote. Theocratic Islam must not be allowed to exist.

#7 I'm not sure this approach is going to work with today's voters

Better than the Donks song 'Shari-a' (to the tune of Frankie Valli's Sherry).

#8 If you read between the lines, you'll actually see that John is open to the suggestion that Iran needs to be bombed.

#9 So now candidates are trying so hard to emulate Reagan that they're copying his comedic misfires?

While I appreciate the sentiment, the presentation seems a tad... flip for a serious candidate.

#10 Hmmm, John McCain must read Rantburg, or someone on his staff does. I posted that ditty here about a month ago.

#11 If memory serves, the Beach Boys themselves did this little variant of their song, at a July 4 concert on the Mall, in the shadow of the Washington Monument, in 1980. I was riding my bike past, and heard it myself. I recall the crowd cheering wildly - different time, different country ....

I like the honesty. This stuff ain't hard. It's the people who don't understand who make it hard.

Oh, God... now I've got that song in my mind. And I can't get it out. Thanks a lot, DMFD...

#14 Local Guam radio played BARBARA ANN this AM while referring to McCain comments. I also hummed TINY BUBBLES to myself in honor of DON HO's recent death.
