Douglas backs McCain

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas will stand up at Dartmouth College on Monday and support Sen. John McCain for the Republican presidential nomination. The endorsement will come on the eve of the New Hampshire primary.

Douglas will say that it's McCain's character and experience that make him the best choice for the nomination, spokesman Jason Gibbs said Sunday.

"John McCain is a principled leader whose character, judgment and experience make him best prepared to lead the nation on Day 1," Douglas said in a prepared statement. "John McCain is a reformer who is willing to stand up for taxpayers and against special interests."

Not a big surprise that McCain is the one Douglas chose. McCain came to Vermont for a Republican Party fund-raiser not too many years ago. He was supposed to come for an event with congressional candidate Martha Rainville (whom Douglas strongly supported) last year but fog prevented his plane from landing in Rutland. And, of course, former Douglas campaign aide Jim Barnett is heading McCain's New Hampshire campaign.

Does it matter, though, what the governor of Vermont says about the presidential race?

If you were Joe or Josephine Voter sitting in New Hampshire pondering your choices in Tuesday's primary, would you be turning to your spouse and saying, "Well, honey, Jim Douglas likes McCain, so I guess that decides it"? Probably that would not stand on its own as a deciding factor, but it also can't hurt a presidential candidate to have as many friends up on the dais as he/she can find.

Gibbs said all the top-tier GOP candidates sought Douglas' backing. His theory is that particularly N.H. voters along the Vermont border hear a fair amount about Douglas from their newspapers and TV stations, so when they hear that Douglas is endorsing McCain it has some merit.

Funny, though, that last Thursday Douglas specifically said he had no plans to go to New Hampshire in the coming days. Define the word "plans." Apparently he had plans to make plans.

Comments:
Ah, so Douglas thinks that the surge is working now that a Democratic Minority is no longer forcing Bush to keep Rumsfeld, too, eh?

Yet another example of the sound thinking that is the Jimi Douglas Experience.
 
John McCain's personal experiences in life make him a breath of fresh air when compared to the sleezy bunch the dimocrats have put up - the crooked, lying shrew, the pretty-boy trial lawyer with his $400 coiffures and millions of hedge fund payments, and the pleasant, but totally unqualified Chicago pol, ....not to mention the resident space cadet Kucinich and the usual other suspects. Go John!
 
What a shock - Jim Douglas comes out in support of John McCain!

I wonder if there was any influence from Douglas' old buddy Jim Barnett.

Jim Barnett, along with Neale Lunderville and Jason Gibbs in coordination with Jim Douglas, are responsible for the high level of partisan politics in VT.

If only everyone could see the constant barrage of negative press releases emanating from GOP headquarters during Douglas' first campaign for Governor and then after his election, you would understand who really changed the tone and attitude in Montpelier.
 
Well if one good thing can be said about Douglas, he didn't support Romney or Guliani!
 
McCain: Pro War. Anti Abortion, Anti Gay, Anti Worker, Pro Amnesty, Keeting Five, Savings and Loan Scandal Lovin, left his first wife for a younger woman ... yea ... great guy.
 
Apparently to the leftist Vermont loons like 12:32 anonymous, if you believe in defending your country, you are "pro-war". Wonder how many of these "anonymous" bloggers have ever served their country, much less been imprisoned by sub-human terrorists? (Guess we will soon be hearing from "Rambo" jwcoop as soon as his bile supply has rejuvenated from yesterday).
 
I'm sure many New Hampshire voters are changing their minds and lining up behind McCain now that the dynamic, charismatic, and oh-so-influential Jim Douglas has given him the seal of approval.

Who needs Chuck Norris when you've got Gov. Jim? Take that, Huckabee!
 
SOME HOW GIVING SOMEONE A JIM DOUGLAS KARATE CHOP JUST DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME.......

Gee, what's not to like about Huck Finished?

Barring some unforeseen, gop establishment-funded and fox noise assisted catastrophe, Mitt Romney is toast. That leaves the gop establishment the delightful choice of rallying behind either Huck Finished or Maverick McCain - both of whom they hate with a passion.

Toss in the fact that they might not have Hillary Hatred to rally the base and an already dispirited gop electorate gets a choice between 2 candidates that half of what's left of their base despises.

Talk about your perfect gop-slop storms.

That's gonna be Jimi's campaign slogan this fall:

The Jimi Douglas Experience - ya gotta admit, as gops go, you've had worse.

That'll fire 'em up.
 
Oooooh, what a bold move by Gov. Doesless.

"Jason, who is the front runner this week?" "Why it's the really old white guy Jim." "Sounds like a winner to me Jason." "Oh, sir, you are the shrewd one."

Given the remote chance McCain gets legs and wins, it would be great if he and Barnett take Jimmy to Washington with them. Do us all a huge favor, although staring at Dubie's blank expression ain't very appealing either.

Gee, imagine that.

No wonder the brain-dead fred barnes and clueless bill kristols of the world are praying for a brokered convention where that Dick Cheney kid rides to their rescue.

They're probably discussing cheney's assets, Hillary's high negatives and the unbeatable qualities of a cheney/rumsfeld ticket on fox noise channel as we speak.

God, it's good to be alive and not a gop.
 
My guess is that if jw arrived in Vermont 35 years ago it was as part of the draft-dodger brigade that included "Bernie" and his pals. Tell us, Miss Nancy, what did YOU do in the 70's?

So, once again, tiny bubbles, just where and when did you serve?

All of you lefties better take a deep breath, start looking for a high bridge to jump off, or get your visas in order for Venezuela - as I blog, Hillary's house of cards is crumbling, and some say she will withdraw from the race at any minute! Which leaves the unelectable Breck girl, Edwards, the clueless Obama Hussein, and space cadet Kucinich! Can you say "President McCain"? "Vice-President Romney"?

Class dismissed.

If nothin' else and there's nothin' else, I'll give ya props for honesty and havin' the stones and the imagination to come up with your own screen name.

"Hillary's house of cards is crumbling, and some say she will withdraw from the race at any minute!"

Really? Anyone residing on or broadcasting, blogging or publishing from this Planet?

That's what I thought.

"Which leaves the unelectable Breck girl, Edwards, the clueless Obama Hussein, and space cadet Kucinich!"

Leaving aside your desperate need for some new Edwards jokes and the fact that anyone, anywhere focused on Obama's middle name still can't walk erect and will eat the breadcrumbs they've left to find their way home on their way to the polls leaving them more SOL than an Alberto Gonzales bid for President or the ABA Lawyer of the Year Title, ya wanna explain to me how voters leaving Hillary are going to vote for McCain, Don Ho?

That's what I thought.

"Can you say "President McCain"? "Vice-President Romney"?

Not without laughing hysterically and spitting fresh hot black coffee all over the place. Good thing I've got a spit bucket handy when I read your slop, tiny bubbles.

Good thing I had a spare keyboard and I'll never have to 'cause the American People won't be croonin' along with a tune that ridiculous in real life again for a long, long while.

That pairing could finish behind a Rumsfeld/Cheney ticket.

Ya best brush up on your Spanish, and book passage for Argentina on the Rat Line with the rest of the fugitive nazis, tiny bubbles.

Unless and until you loons can come up with a few years of 94.9 cent a gallon gas and 69.9/gallon heating oil, the neo-nazi nitwit forecast calls for pain.

It doesn't matter. It's DOA in VT with or without the blessings of the Jimi Douglas Experience.
 
I have yet to find a dim/prog that can explain how electing a dim/prog will reduce the price of oil? Are they going to run over to China and tell them to stop using up so much of the world's supply? Oh, I almost forgot - their new Castro, Hugo Chavez will be giving us all that oil for $1.00 a gallon! Boy, sure glad we have Bernie and his pals!

class dismissed.
 
Didn't Chavez gain power due to George W. Bush's follies? I blame Bush for Chavez's meteoric rise. As usual, this Bubba simpleton spouts a bunch of crap about the Democrats when it's his freaking guy (and party) that put us in this mess to begin with--Chavez included.
 
Don't underestimate the Clinton political machine.
 
m. pitts:

It doesn't matter. Bubba does not use facts and will always claim republican high ground even when proven wrong.

The sad thing about him is that he won't give credit to a democrat even when a democrat does exactly what he wants.

JW is right. Bubba is a "little fella".
 
Amazing! Couple of years ago Chavez was the liberal's new hero. No mention of Bush then; now even the brain-dead leftists have discovered that Chavez has been conning them all along (not difficult to do with liberals)and is really just another tin-horn despot! So NOW we find out that it's all Bush's fault, sort of like Katrina, global warming, the price of oil, etc., maybe even things that happened in the Clinton Administration like Monicagate. Beginning to sound like some of you have been in the same ward with jw.

Feel free to explain, defend, justify or rationalize any or all of that gop-slop nonsense, tiny bubbles.

What was the price of oil/barrel the day Clinton left Office and the 43rd Reich seized power, bubbles? What is it trading at today?

How about gas? Fuel oil?

How about the Dow? Nasdaq? The dollar in relation to the Pound? Yen? Yuan? Euro? Canadian Dollar? Ruble?

The cost of living? The number of uninsured citizens?

How about the Surplus? The Deficit? The National Debt?

Consumer Confidence? Right Track/Wrong Track?

What about illegal immigration, bubbles? Take the period from 1/95-1/07, for example. Was the situation better or worse after 6 years of total and totalitarian gop rule?

Who was behind the first "amnesty" in '86, bubbles. Who was in the White House in 1986? Who controlled the Senate?

You can get crackin' on that along with your war hero resume, sport.

Dazzle me, tiny bubbles.

Just kiddin'. Relax. Take your time. There's no rush. The next question you answer or case you make will be your first anyhow, so ya may as well take the opportunity to see the light, turn over a new leaf, get your head screwed on straight and start livin' right because I'm gonna start turnin' over spade-fulls of dirt on ya and bury ya alive in the Blues as the Country settles into a long, comfortable and a productive Blue State frame of mind, little fella.

Like Bush's sharecropper society and gop prospects for maintaining control of the WH, retaking control of Congress, "Victory" in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan, you ain't goin' nowhere.

"Beginning to sound like some of you have been in the same ward with jw."

Yeah, the ward that gets to go home at night when we're done paying a call on the convicted, incarcerated, soon-to-be-quarantined, coalition of the clueless, condemned likes of you and the little fellas, tiny bubbles.

Always a pleasure.

What was the price of oil the day Clinton left office and the 43rd reich seized power, tiny bubbles?

What did 6 years of totalitarian gop-rule do for the price of oil between 1/01-1/07?

There's your first clue. Perhaps even the lunatic fringe likes of you can sort it out from there, little fella.

Then again, probably not.

Wash the chalk boards, take the erasers outside and clap them, come inside, put everything back in its place, sit silently at your desk for half an hour, tidy up after yourself, and run along home and tell your Mom why you had to stay after school.

Always a pleasure.
 
Did you see Pollina wearing a tie?
 
Douglas backed McCain ... because carear politicians need to stick together.

Gas was 20 cents a gallon under Eisenhower. Hamburg less than 33 cents a pound. A 1956 Chevy Bel Air cost about $2,300. You had to pay a poll tax to vote in Vermont, thus weeding out the truly dim. Punks like the ones destroying Frost's house would be sent to the Weeks School. Child molesters were sent to jail for a LONG time. jw would have had his own rubber room at Waterbury. Things were good, we were a Republican, conservative country.

That's when Brown V Board was decided, schools were desegregated, Sputnik scared everybody to death and Ike got us into Vietnam.

He also warned us about the Military Industrial Complex on his way out of Dodge City, what's your point?

That's swell, tiny bubbles, but I didn't ask ya about Ike, I asked ya about shrub and ya either can't answer, won't answer or both.

My money's on door number 3 and thanks to you, I'm never wrong.

Nice try, nitwit. Ya gonna blame Bernie and the Clintons for that now, too?

Duncan Hunter's got a better shot at the White House than you do of getting anyone to buy that trash.

That was then. This is now. Those days are gone and they ain't comin' back. There's no more poll taxes. The 24th Amendment outlawed 'em over 40 years ago. Even Mississippi was forced to give up that ghost in '66.

Blacks and Women can vote just like ignorant, ill-informed, clueless-cracker anchor babies like you, little fella.

Ike had nothing more than a few advisors in Viet Nam, less than those still left in Bosnia by Clinton. JFK was the one, as even you should know, that expanded the war including killing Diem. When I entered the Army JFK had just become President and only a handful of Green Berets were in Nam, ALL VOLUNTEERS. This was JFK and LBJ's war all the way, until Nixon finally got us out. As you were of more than draft age in the early-mid 70's, of course you know this.

Well, since I've been critical of Pollina since day one it just shows you haven't been paying much attention, little anonymous fella.

While I'd vote for him in a two-candidate race with Douglas, it's only by default.

He's still responsible for Brian Dubie. That's the only thing he's been responsible for.

Once again, tiny bubbles, that's swell, but that's not what I asked ya. I asked ya about Bush. Twice. The fact that you can't answer the question, won't answer the question or can't and won't answer tells me all I need to know about how little you know.

That said, how many troops have we lost in Bosnia, bubbles? That's a good day in Iraq. A real good day.

"JFK was the one, as even you should know, that expanded the war including killing Diem."

Yeah, he did. There's also plenty of evidence demonstrating that he was gonna scale back US involvement in Vietnam if not pull the plug on it entirely before he got shot.

Ya gonna tell me he got himself shot on purpose or are ya just gonna blame that on the Clintons, too?

"When I entered the Army JFK had just become President and only a handful of Green Berets were in Nam, ALL VOLUNTEERS."

Well, if you entered the Army in the early 60s and supported the War in Vietnam, how many tours did ya do there? Surely, being the Yankee Doodle Dandy you claim to be, you kept signing on for hitch after hitch until the job was done, right, tiny bubbles?

Nice try, Sgt. Rock. You volunteer to be a Green Beret. You go where they send you.

"This was JFK and LBJ's war all the way, until Nixon finally got us out. As you were of more than draft age in the early-mid 70's, of course you know this."

JFK made the mistake of naming McNamara to be his Secretary of Defense. LBJ made the mistake of keeping him. McNamara was/is a gop.

LBJ should have listened to the last gop who made any sense when George Aiken said "We should just declare Victory and go home" in '66

Of course, LBJ, despite winning the '68 NH Primary handily, opted to withdraw from the race on 3/31/68 because of the effect Vietnam was having on the Country.

Too bad the illegitimate trash schmuck the Supremes stuck us with doesn't have that kind of integrity.

MLK was assassinated in Memphis on 4/4/68 - less than a week after LBJ withdrew from the race. RFK was assassinated on 6/5/68 barely 2 months later.

If JFK lives there's no Nixon Administration.

As for Nixon getting us out of Vietnam, gimme a break. We were Vietnam with Nixon as President longer than we were with LBJ as President and he invaded Cambodia to boot setting the stage for Pol Pot's Killing Fields.

LBJ was wrong to listen to McNamara and buy into the Domino Theory BS you loons are still slingin' despite all evidence to the contrary.

Vietnam was a bad idea. 58000 people died for nothing.

Iraq is even dumber. Almost as dumb as the people who support it.

Dismissed.
 
Ah, history as denied by jw! Although JFK created the Vietnam War, he was "really" going to end it, but unfortunately got shot by a communist (oops, "right-wing") sympathizer so that's why Nixon got elected, and then global warming started, and now oil is over $3 a gallon, and that fella Pol Pot killed people because he didn't like Nixon, and I hate Mississippi, and it must be almost time for the meds.

You're just another ignorant, ill-informed, fundamentally-dishonest, phony wing-nut war hero, knuckle-draggin' nitwit, shrub-shillin' anchor baby who specializes in bogus charges and allegations you can't substantiate or prove in any way shape or form about the Clintons, Bernie, Dems in general as well as me, Hoffer and anyone else who calls you and your little anonymous buddy on your brain-dead BS.

Ya got nothing to say and you've been saying it far too loudly for far too long and I'm gonna keep callin' ya on it every time ya do it so, unless you can come with some evidence to support your bogus claims, it looks like we're gonna be seein' a lot of each other, tiny bubbles.

You may have been in a catatonic state when I asked the question some time ago, "What does a democrat President do to reduce the price of oil?" because I never got an answer. Oh, I forgot......he stops hurricanes in oil fields and stomps his petulant little foot when China starts gobbling up oil that used to surplus, creating more demand, creating higher prices! It's called economics, fool.

A couple of thoughts (as a former legislator):

1. Fiscal Impact Statement required of all legislative actions. This would automatically be a section of any legislation. It should apply to creation of study committees, as well for directives for a report from a department or agency. Members (and the public) should see the estimated individual - and cumulative - costs of these actions prior to voting for them.
2. Professional (non-political)staff for the legislature. The Administration has department heads and hundreds of staff upon which to draw. The Legislature - an equal branch - must have resources to balance that ability. Having more staff should help reduce the need for consultants and all the summer study committees.
