For Tom it is now go along to get along so as to be relevant in certain social circles. In a recent WSJ article, Bill Kristol went for McCain. Tom, out of todyesque necessity carries the torch for Bill Kristol who works for Rupert Murdoch.<br><br>Tom ineptly and weakly goes after Obama who is now supported by Rupert Murdoch owner of the Weekly Standard and Fox News. The whole Camelot thing is so old and forgotton like an evening at the nursing home in front of Turner Movie Classics.<br><br>Then Tom in his senior citizen geriatric forgetful haze wants us to kiss up to Juan McCain, enthusiastically! He like another aging pundit Bob "viagra" Dole attack Limbaugh for rightfully going after McCain and reminding us of Juan McCain's treachery to the conservative cause.<br><br>On top of it, Tom jumps the gun and is already throwing Romney over the cliff as he virtually calls McCain the defacto winner. I too remember his chides against Topinka. In this Juan McCain love fest he is a hypocrite or maybe he is just forgetful these days.Lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-85457508951778326862008-02-04T11:08:18.000-06:002008-02-04T11:08:18.000-06:00LL, Sir-I fear you suffer from a failing that MANY...LL, Sir-<br><br>I fear you suffer from a failing that MANY others have regarding Tom's opinions.

And Tom, I have come to the conclusion that you are a lover of bigger and badder government. Topinka, who is a small government, nanny-state hating (she even voted against seat belt laws), prochoice Republican isn't worthy of you. Yet the Pro-tax, anti-first amendment, pro-illegal alien liberal is your guy, enthusiastically, now that he is the candidate of inevitability. If my country is going to crap, I would prefer Clinton or Obama doing it, as opposed to my own party. But you are about to embrace failure with John McCain, and not just for the state of Illinois, but for the entire country.Lovie's Leathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-69429472796228399852008-02-04T09:54:12.000-06:002008-02-04T09:54:12.000-06:00I would rather think that this is the era of the O...I would rather think that this is the era of the Obamalet.

Tough words? NO! By your statement that you would be for McCain "without lingering" shows that you are NO conservative. What a change from the days when you would not support Topinka or Ryan based on principal! What a compromiser you have become. But then as I was recently told by a prominent politician, maybe you have always been that way!<br><br>And for McCain enthusiastically..... oh ya? May the ghosts of Topinka and Ryan haunt you for your decent into mushy moderation.<br><br><br>You might as well vote for Hillary or Obama so as to have them and Democratic party blamed for open borders or Global Warming but no you would even smear the Republican party with the fecal waste of those liberal ideals. In fact you would compromise the Republican party to the left as long as Bill Kristol told you to. You have obviously become his stooge. By your McCain comments you prove that you would put the neo-con agenda over the anti-abortion agenda if push came to shove.....

Please visit the precincts in his former legislative district and tell me how well that community is faring as a result of his efforts.<br><br>It seems farcical that this faker is still in the nomination race. Why do his supporters follow this Pied Piper? Because he offers them unspecified "hope" and he is so "articulate." Please...<br><br>Here's another Broadway musical reference for you.
