He's already shown me in the one area I need to secure my vote for him.
Quoting jveritas: "Many months ago when the time was tough in Iraq and McCain was down in the polls they asked him how do you support an unpopular war that is causing your poll numbers to be very low, he replied: 'I would rather lose and elections than lose the war', those are the words of a man who will make a great Commander in Chief."
What kind of showing is required by that subset of conservatves who share your view of McCain?
“What kind of showing is required . . . “
There are three standards: “beyond a reasonable doubt”; “by clear and convincing evidence” or “by a preponderance of the evidence”, (in other words, it is more likely than not).
By which one of those standards do either of you think candidate McCain has proven he is a conservative?
An honest once. Because the spin on McCain and Iraq is a lie. McCainiacs really got to stop trying to sell us a McCain we know does not exist.
McCain was father of the Baker Comission and the plan to sell out Iraq to Iran/Syria. He only started talking tough on Iraq when he was dead in the water politically and the Surge looked like it was producing results. He had no where else to go so he latched on to the Surge in desperation.
It was not McCain's position on the war that was causing his low poll numbers, and he well knew that.
