While McCain does about half. While he was not my first, second or third choice, I will hold my nose and vote for him in the fall because Hillary and Obamalama are unthinkable! There is too much at stake and they would do irreversible damage to the United States, our military, our standing in the world and to our very way of life.
I think this gag reflex will hurt him a lot in the fall.
It is pathetic that our candidate will adhere to conservatism 50% of the time, at best. Meanwhile, the Democrats are voting for candidates that will go with them about 95% of the time.
The conservative movement is weak and marginalized. And it doesn’t seem to be getting better.
When the dems lost, they were all trying to come up with a strategy to win and ‘get thier message out’. So far, nothing is happing on our side. We’ve been reduced to voting for chaos in the democratic primary.
I fully expect history to repeat itself, in that if Senator McCain is elected, he’ll be a one term president. After that, a far left liberal along the lines of Jimmy Carter will get elected. After that, the Republicans will move further to the right and put forth a true conservative candidate.
Perhaps this election will see the far left candidate win. I’m hoping we can stave it off another 4 years in order to spare Iraq the disastrous consequences of a sudden withdrawal.
I think the Democrats have the political cover they need in order to lose Iraq. If Senator Obama wins, he can pull the troops and blame whatever anarchy results on “misguided Republican policy.”
