You are quite wrong to call McCain “a Republican”—he is most certainly NOT! He’s voted with the Libs on many issues, the most important to conservatives being Amnesty. In fact, he’s authored Amnesty bills. While the MNM who loves him calls him “a maverick”, we know it’s just a buzzword for “pro-war liberal”.
That Obama is a Socialist and, along with his wife, totally unacceptable. But so is McCain and his AZ mafia don’s daughter-wife. There are even Vietnam vets who believe that McCain was no hero. But what IS important is what he is TODAY.
To many conservatives, McCain is as unacceptable no matter “who” he picks as his VP. Fortunately, a real conservative just trounced Alan Keyes for the nomination of The Constitution Party—Rev. Chuck Baldwin. He’s tougher on illegal aliens than Tancredo and Hunter put together and he’s even tougher on Red China and the U.N. than Hunter. While he has no chance of winning, he CA be a beacon for those disaffected conservatives looking for a political home.

McCain is a moderate conservative, and while you may not like that it’s where most voters live. McCain has been wrong on some of the big ones, but the “liberal” meme gets unreal. From memory I think the lowest McCain ever got in his ACU score was in the 60s. Compare that to actual liberal politicians.
