OP...Why has McCain endorsed Romney? Can he not see the lack of integrity? What is McCain's motive for his partisanship. He does not have to endorse anyone. Colin Powell has not endorsed Romney or Obama thus far.

The dirty tricks played on him in prior GOP campaigns IMO damaged him forever. And it cost us a POTUS who would have been far more effective than W, not that W was a bad guy, just not as deeply qualified as JM. Those who serve, more often than not, have a healthier respect for keeping the peace.

I'm proud to say I called out bobtn as an Obama concern troll days ago.

I'm right, again.

Ok, fair enough. For some reason I thought you were a flaming liberal.

I've met Corker a few times, heard him speak several more times. I hope he does not stop at his present level. If you have read my posts, I am a huge Christie fan (no pun intended), but if Corker were also running, hmmm.. That would be a very tough choice for me. Although very different in temperment, very similar in approaching things with logic, not just emotion.

Corker is a slimeball, imo. He won in Tennessee by implying that Harold Ford was associating with a hooker. Totally false allegation, but since Ford is mixed race and Democratic it tipped the scales to Corker. I'll never forget that lousy, dirty trick as long as I live. Corker is a complete sleaze.

I did not like the ad, but as a Tn resident, I can tell how far away you are. Ford's uncle, a State Rep, went to JAIL (corruption), and the investigation occured at the start of the campaign. HF should NEVER have run against a strong Tn mayor (Corker did a stellar job in Chattanooga) at that time. HF could easily have run for the next open Senate seat, and by spacing it a few years farther away from his Uncle's stench, he'd likely win. Add in the Memphis HF meltdown, which harmed him, when he went postal on reporters during the campaign.

I'm sure Bob Corker knows who the better candidate for President is. Why doesn't bobtn? We all know the answer.

Yeah, that is why her very presence won the White House for McCain ...oh wait...it didn't! What are those publications she reads again? Oh, I remember...all of them! Let's not forget her reply about her foreign policy experience..."You can see Russia from Alaska"...that was really genius! Lucky that she does not reside where a hospital is visible from her house...she might attempt to perform open heart surgery, because everyone knows proximity equates to experience...
