In this article I did. I have my political opinions, but right now I'm still trying to figure out the landscape. I didn't want to make value judgments here. I'm still struggling with what comes next if it's Hillary and McCain. I said I wouldn't vote for McCain, but several Supreme Court vacancies are coming up. I think most of them will be from the liberal wing, as a couple have been waiting out Bush, but they'll still be huge. McCain will most likely go more liberal than I like, but Hillary picked Bill's appointment and we got Ruth Ginsberg. There's also the war with the terrorists. I'm convinced most of this could have been averted if it hadn't been for Carter and Clinton I. When candidates govern as limited government fiscally responsible conservatives the general public is happy with them because things go well in the country. Reagan was almost an anomaly in actually governing this way, though, because few people, once elected, are willing to reduce government power.
I wouldn’t fault you for voting for McCain in the general election. But my prediction, based on all the policy positions McCain has been espousing antithetical to free-market conservative principles, showing deference to liberals when drafting legislation, is of a disastrous administration. I’d rather the inevitable disaster be pinned on a Democrat. If it’s McCain it will be pinned on all Republicans in general. THAT will be the destruction of the party for years to come.
Also, would McCain propose any nominee who was a Constitutionalist or rather nominate someone with a judicial philosophy that the Constitution is a living document that must be adapted to the current times and governing needs?
