Lifetime ACU ratings:
McCain %82.3
It's the 17.7% that lost him any chance of support from conservatives.
Yeah...we should just stay home. /s
He wasn't my first choice either.
He's pro-life (except re: stem cell research) and pro-military, and, at worst, will not make the Supreme any more liberal than it is now. That's really all we have to go on this time around. In retrospect, GWB doesn't really get many more conservative "gold stars" than McCain. And that, IMO, is the real issue that everyone is "venting" about...we wanted a pub candidate that was more conservative than GWB...we didn't get it. In reality...Thompson and Hunter were the only ones that qualified in that category, and, IMO, a vote for Mitt=another 4 years of GWB style conservatism.
At any rate...is letting Hillobama get the WH really worth it? I think not.
