Intellectually and politically John McCain and Hillary Clinton are opposed sides of the same coin. You get some variation on specific issues like Abortion but over all they share the same philosophical outlook. If anything, McCain has shown himself even more unprincipled then Hillary. Hillary at least will stick to her guns on this or that issue, McCain is total politician who would sell his mother to win a vote.
You run McCain, color this life long Conservative activist out for the season no matter who the Dems run
I fear we may give up control of the party to compassionate conservatism for another four or eight years. It’s become clear to me that conservatives in this country are as much a fan of federal social programs, illegal immigration, environmentalism, and heavy regulation, as liberals are. Both of our most probable candidates at this point, John McCain and Mike Huckabee, represent those views. Mitt Romney does not, at least not all of them, but a third strike in Michigan is going to take him out.
I’m praying to God Fred Thompson will win big in South Carolina. If not, then all I can do is vote for Ron Paul on Super Special Awesome Tuesday just to stick it to the rest. It’s childish, but then, I view nominating Huckabee or McCain to be childish.
I'm forced to agree.
I used to be very supportive of John McCain. How he has conducted himself with CFR, the Gang of 14 agreement re: federal judges, the Bush Tax cuts, global warming, drilling in ANWR, etc, etc is not enough to overcome his position on the WOT. I had made up my mind several months ago that if McCain wins the Republican nomination, I will not cast my vote for him. It pains me to say that.
