Thompson supported McCain-Feingold. So much for the lawsuits. And Thompson is a close friend of McCain who will likely endorse him. Is he “insidious?” Is Coburn? Thune? Please.
You nitpick the edges of issues. Yes, McCain is not a pure conservative he’s a 2/3rds conservative. Which is why he can win and this is the cycle if there ever was one to vote electability.
The really funnt part is using ROMNEY to make the conservative case. Since you call me a closet liberal I’ll call you a mormon identity voter. I’m TDY in Utah and surprise, surprise all my friends here are for Romney. I wonder why.
hahaha. Make the conservative case with the guy who was more pro-gay rights than Ted Kennedy. The guy who attacked the boy scouts. The guy who is pro-choice because of a botched illegal abortion. The guy who was an INDEPENDENT during the time of Reagan/Bush and didn’t vote for them while McCain was on the spearhead of the Reagan movement. The guy who hires illegal immigrants. The guy who was more pro-gay rights than Kennedy.
And you have the balls to tell me my supporting McCain makes me a liberal. Hahaha, that you’re so gullible to fall for this TRUE liberal is the real issue here.
To say the constitutional travesty that is McCain-Feingold (the bill's other namesake being on the furthest left-flank in the country) is nitpicking the edge of anything shows how little of it of you've actually seen. Couple that with McCain's "Gang of 14", and what it's meant to the President's prerogative to appoint federal judges (those who will be enforcing McCain-Feingold) and add it up.
It's not nitpicking to compare McCain's votes to the real, practical actions he's taken over the last eight years. How is his co-sponsoring of McCain-Lieberman, or appearing in leftist anti-gun television and radio ads in Colorda the edges of the gun issue? This stuff is at the core of what he believes. Global warming isn't the "edge" of any issue. It's a junk-science scheme to transfer rights and property to a central authority, and John McCain is its foremost ambassador in the GOP. He's strong on the war, but he's made publicly haranguing Donald Rumsfeld his life's work (even 18 months after his retirement), he stands with the far-left on closing Gitmo, and he wags his finger at the administration for allowing the coercive interrogation of KSM and Abu Zubaydah. And he was front-and-center on the doom and gloom parade in 2006, painting pictures of sectarian civil wars other such "straight talk" on the Sunday morning TV circuit.
You don't think stories like this hurt Republicans three months before the midterm elections: McCain: Bush Misled Country On Iraq
The contradictions between how McCain votes and what he does with the rest of his time suggest either a split-personality or a deliberate deception. Either way, it's a fatal flaw that will eliminate him from consideration in the minds of many conservatives.
As for Romney, I've already said he's the best of a weak lot. If that makes me an LDS sympathizer or whatever, knock yourself out. I'm not going to get too bent out of shape over some belligerent dude on the internet who seasons his posts with randomized hahahaha's.
