My understanding of your message is that supporters of Senator McCain were not "real" Republicans. Am I correct in understanding your statement? If so...I don't believe that you understand the history and the true ideology of the Republican Party. The Republican Party is, and forever truely shall be, a political party that, as Senator Goldwater said, "stays out of your pocketbook and out of your bedroom.". Tell me if you will, a truer Republican than Barry Goldwater. The Republican Party prior to Jerry Falwell kidnapping it stressed the ideals of personal choice, that which the Creator granted us. It was a political party that believed in freedom...freedom from government restrictions. The religious right wing of the Republican Party seeks to administer specific rules and regulations upon the populace they deem important, regardless of ones personal beliefs. Senator McCain is a true Republican in the mold of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert Taft, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon. For this, he is MY candidate and I am CERTAIN he will be the nominee of the TRUE Republican Party.

You're joking, right?

When extolling the virtues of limited government, I wouldn't point to the co-author of McCain-Feingold as an example of someone who leads the charge.

ROTFL! McCain is no Lincoln. And tell me how you reconcile your claim that McCain is against government restrictions with his claim-to-fame anti-free speech legislation known as Campaign Finance Reform.

You are way too rabid for my taste, as is McCain.
