Mitt Romney endorses John McCain for re-election
It was one thing when both Sarah Palin and Scott Brown endorsed John McCain in his re-election bid– the both were repaying John McCain something that they felt they owed him. John McCain was the first national Republican to endorse Scott Brown and ran campaign commercials in Massachusetts supporting Brown while Michael Steele and the rest of the national Republicans ignored him. And let’s face it, if it wasn’t for John McCain most of America wouldn’t know who the hell Sarah Palin was, she owes her current fame to him.
But it is another thing altogether for Mitt Romney to come out and endorse John McCain’s re-election bid, as he did yesterday.
Romney said in a statement Tuesday the Arizona senator’s “record of service and sacrifice for America is honored by all
Yes, McCain’s military service should be honored by all Americans, but on the issues facing the American people, John McCain is not part of the solution, he is part of the problem.
Perhaps Mitt Romney doesn’t grasp the depth of the anti-incumbent fever that is gripping the nation. This movement has now gone beyond Republican versus Democrat, it is now conservative versus liberal and John McCain is no conservative. The Republicans failed to grasp this during the 2008 presidential election when they nominated John McCain and they paid dearly at the polls. And this is even more of an anti-incumbent movement than it was in 2008.
Mitt Romney still has presidential aspirations but he had better learn that endorsing the old guard– especially RINOs in the Republican party– is no way for him to win support with the people who will be voting in the Republican primaries.
Mitt Romney already has one huge strike against him– he instituted the mandated healthcare coverage in Massachusetts that much of the president’s plan is predicated on, this could and probably should, kill any chance that he has of becoming president– and he can ill afford to be endorsing RINOs in the upcoming mid-term elections. The sooner he realizes this, the better off he will be.
America's Watchtower 
The Neocons have to stick together. In order to keep true conservatives from coming to power in the Republican Party these guys have to suck it up and support each other. And as you say, Romney did support a state run healthcare plan in his own state, and in my book that makes him a phony, neocon, big government Republican.
I only hope voters, especially those who call themselves conservatives, are starting to see the true colors of these politicians.

I think they are seeing the true colors and I think that John McCain is going to lose in the primary because of it. The people are fed up with this good ole boy network in both parties.

Isn’t it a shame that many of the Republicans are seeming to be just as clueless as the Democrats? They are on the brink of a unprecedented victory in November, yet they seem intent on tossing it for the usual back scratching.

It is a shame, but I think people see through it now. They are not going to vote for a candidate just because another politician in the same party tells them to, they are looking more closely at the issues. Republicans do have a huge chance here but they need to understand that people are fed up with this nonsence.

Mr. Romney,I supported your campaign for president in 2008.I will not support you in the future for only one reason,your endorsement of Juan McCain. I respect his service in the military and he has done some good in the senate over the years but I find him to be weak on many issues, especially imigration reform. We need to completely close our southern border. McCain is the old Washington games that we need to get rid of.I don’t want a senator to get along w/the dems, I want a steam roller that will crush them and their liberal ideas. God help us all and God bless America.
