EXCELLENT and (in)credible endorsement!

 

[Micahyah]

it is a nice writup, and i respect Sullivan for his stance against torture.

 

[Duckman]

Yes, indeed. These words will convert neo-cons!

 

[ladyjade3]

This is excellent news. Sullivan is big in the conservative blogging world, he's been favourable to paul and mccain for sometime now so it's great to see a clear endorsement. Wooo

 

[Cardinal Red]

Absolutely Outstanding!

Sullivan is one of the most-trafficked bloggers in the world and now he is almost certainly our most high-profile "pundit" endorser. As someone who also respects McCain (while disagreeing with him on many issues for the reasons that Sullivan outlined) it was nice to see his contributions recognized.

Bottom line, this endorsement is great, not just because it is from the right source, but because it is for the right reasons.

Go Ron Paul!

At one end of the character scale, you have the sickening sight of Mitt Romney, a hollow shell of cynicism and salesmanship, recrafted to appeal to a base he studied the way Bain consultants assess a company.

I love this quote.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's spot on.

Awesome, that was really nice to read.

Them:

We have not constructed a democratic model for the Middle East - we have instead destroyed a totalitarian government and a phony country, only to create a permanently unstable, fractious, chaotic failed state, where the mere avoidance of genocide is a cause for celebration.

Us:

The Paulites' enthusiasm for liberty, their unapologetic defense of core conservative principles, their awareness that in the new millennium, these principles of small government, self-reliance, cultural pluralism, and a humble foreign policy are more necessary than ever - no lover of liberty can stand by and not join them.

He's the real thing in a world of fakes and frauds. And in a primary campaign where the very future of conservatism is at stake, that cannot be ignored. In fact, it demands support.

This piece was the best thing I've read in a long time. It got to me.

Me too - that one and the closer...

I admire McCain in so many ways. He is the adult in the field, he is attuned to the issue of climate change in a way no other Republican is, he is a genuine war hero and a patriot, and he bravely and rightly opposed the disastrous occupation policies of the Bush administration in Iraq.

Not so much, not near enough. It's like a German Politician criticizing the lack of efficiency in the death camps.

 

[ronpaulitician]

Awesome!

I hope Maher will have Sullivan on as soon as Real Time gets back.
