That’s not entirely true. Whether or not you are conservative is decided by your overall stance on the issues based on where the political center lies. Now, conservatives shouldn’t vote ofr McCain, but to say that anyone who votes for him is not conservative is, well...silly.
Any chance we can get a Dunkin Dounuts political top 4.
I am a conservative and I will vote for McCain if my choice is Obama or Clinton. Simple math. Sorry he is not what I wanted on all issues but plain and simple, he will not be the liberals that will destroy this country.
McCain: 82% lifetime American Conservative Union rating
Obama: 8% lifetime American Conservative Union rating
Hillary!: 9% lifetime American Conservative Union rating
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.
"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'
"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.
I think I'll agree with Reagan - I'll take the 80% with McCain rather than hold out for the 100% that is NO WHERE TO BE SEEN, and end up with an 8% Obama. THAT is the Conservative position.
Doesn’t this article mean that McCain is responsible for the Republicans’ defeat this year?
