I’ve never seen so much bandwagon jumping in my life.

Romney is a Massachusetts Flip-Flopping Liberal, our own version of John Kerry.

Huckabee=Socialism ordained by god.

People here need to get over the fact that neither of these candidates will do anything to stop the flow of illegal immigration. That is the biggest issue people have with McCain, and he is the only one of these 3 that has been honest about it.

If you like Socialism vote for Mitt or Huck. McCain is the only fiscal conservative out of all 3. Yeah, I know he voted against Bush’s Tax cut at first and used crappy class-warfare logic to explain it, but he voted to extend the cut later.

McCain is also more of a social conservative than the other 3. If he were tough on immigration, most Conservatives here would be singing his praises.

People say don’t be a one-issue voter, but with McCain on Immigration that is how I see quite a few Conservatives here.

I’ve never seen so much bandwagon jumping in my life.

The conservative talk show hosts and various pundits are lining up to support Romney, a former liberal on social issues and the driving force for socialized medicine in his home state. Even Michael Savage and Ann Coulter, among the most abrasive of the conservative talkers and writers, are falling in line. In so doing, they are sacrificing their principles in order to knock out McCain, who is execrable in his own right. Although I am no fan of Michael Medved, other than as a movie critic, he is correct when he says that this election cycle may mark the eclipse of conservative talk radio. Ratings for talkers like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and hits to sites like FR, World Net Daily, and News Max have been slowly declining over the last three years.

Like it or not, conservatism is in decline. The three actual conservatives in the race, Tancredo, Hunter, and Thompson, have given up. The next administration, Democrat or RINO, will be to the left of the Bush Administration, which was certainly not conservative. We can only hope that the 2010s will see a rebirth of the philosophy of limited government, economic freedom, and strong national defense.

It’s not just immigration! ...

McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.
McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.
McCain-Lieberman — the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry — through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases — in American history.
McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights.
McCain-Reimportation of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety.

And a lot more besides where MCCain is a backstabbing RINO against the conservative base.
