No. McCain is a RINO progressive.

Thank you. One more question if you might kindly indulge me,

"If McCain is a RINO progressive, and Sarah Palin says that she shares John McCain's vision for America, does that suggest that Sarah is, or is not, a true conservative?"

While you're pondering that, I'll continue:

I answered your question, now you answer mine. Name a credible candidate that is known by more than 3% of the people, who can take on RINO Romney, and is a conservative.

At this point, I would have to say that out of a very limited field, the only credible candidate would be Fred Thompson. Unfortunately Fred has also endorsed the RINO John McCain so we're back to square one. But Thompson has not been beating the drum incessantly as has Sarah Palin, and has not been trumpeting how he "shares McCain's vision for America". Thompson's endorsement smacks more of a "good old boys club" endorsement, while Sarah's fervent campaigning suggests that she indeed, is of the same mindset as McCain. And that should be disturbing to ANY conservative being honest with themselves.

When you present this alternative to Palin I’ll consider them.

Stay tuned. It's a long way to primary season. But I will predict this: Romney is toast already.

“”If McCain is a RINO progressive, and Sarah Palin says that she shares John McCain’s vision for America, does that suggest that Sarah is, or is not, a true conservative?”

I think it is pretty obvious that Palin not only is conservative, but the most conservative possible candidate out there with the ability to garner votes on a national basis.

As to her statement above, she is obviously campaigning for McCain. Yet, her responses to policy questions after the 08 campaign have been conservative responses. She is politically forced to support McCain or the establishment in the GOP would murder her, not literally.

She is playing politics and is attempting to win a national election. Just like when Reagan endorsed Pete Wilson and appointed Bush VP.

That is the way it is.

You play ball and get a conservative in the WhiteHOuse or you ostracize yourself and whine that all we have are RINOs running. If Palin doesn’t run. That’s what you get. Romney is a done deal.

While you’re pondering that, I’ll continue:
