Yes, that is true, and here is why.
If McCain becomes President, he will vigorously pursue vengeance against the conservatives in the Republican Party. Conservatives will be silenced and expelled from positions of power.
The Republicans in Congress will not be able to stop McCain, because they will have to go against their own leadership to do so.
In short, McCain will do to conservatives exactly what Hillary or Obama will do, except that he will have almost NO OPPOSITION in pursuing his evil ends.
On the other hand, if Hillary or Obama is President, the opposition will be mobilized and energetic. Republicans in Congress can oppose them with vigor, without going against their leadership.
In fact, if McCain does get the nomination, he will be crushed in the general election. He is too old and too nasty and has too many enemies to win the general election. Most conservatives will vote third party or write-in, rather than vote for McCain.
In such a scenario, not only will McCain lose the general election, but the current RINO leadership will be discredited and defeated, engendering the strong possibility that the conservatives can once again regain control of their party.
It’s the only hope I have at this point.
Though I voted for Duncan Hunter, I can say now that I regret doing so.
I believe that Mitt has truly had a conservative epiphany, albeit a tad too late to convince enough of the base. I also believe that he would have made a GREAT president and would have been a very pleasant surprise to so many of those here that have shunned him.
It is sad that the greatest hope I have now is for a Democrat president, so that we can at least mount a conservative opposition. It is the only chance we have.
A President McCain will do all he can to crush us, and there would be almost nothing to stop him.

RomneyCare or HillaryCare, Hmmm, hard decision.
Romney gun control or Hillary gun control. Hmmm, hard decision.
Romney gay rights or Hillary gay rights. Hmm, hard decision.
Romney pro-murder pre-born babies or Hillary pro-murder pre-born babies. Hmmm, hard decision.
Vote for socialist Romney or vote for socialist Hillary. Easy decision—NEITHER!
