There’s not much good in being a conservative, if it doesnt help advance conservative ideals.

McAmnesty won't advance those ideals either. He likely has more disdain and grudges against conservatives and conservatism than the Dems do.

If you want to support and vote for McCain, by all means, do so. But those of us here have the right to disagree and vote otherwise. The 'less of evils' speeches worked in '00 and in '04. They are wearing thin. And the Republican candidate this time around is beyond the pale.

Don’t ever vote for anyone ‘evil’ if that is what you think of them. Check my posts, I was livid about Juan f’ing pro-amnesty McCain’s sellout... And I was livid with Bush. But I never regretted voting for Bush or any Republican. They may have let me down from time to time, but they always did far more good than bad. And I see McCain similar way, when you put it all together, war on terror, spending, immigration, taxes/economy, etc. his signature actions with Democrats are bad, but his overal lifetime ACU record is 80% conservative.

Where I come down is simple. In the primary - no way - I am voting for Romney. In the general, I will cast a reluctant but sure vote for the best man on the ballot to lead the nation. He will be far far better than Obama/Clinton. half a loaf, but a worthwhile half a loaf, since it includes keeping our nation safe and WINNING A WAR THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO LOSE ALREADY.

McCain has said he will put in Roberts and Alito type judges. that’s a biggie.

Now, guess how proabort obama voted on those guys and who he wants in there ...

Six — That’s the number of Supreme Court justices who will be 70 years old or older on Inauguration Day 2009. That number includes all five of the court’s left-leaning members. Court watchers predict that the next president will appoint at least two, and as many as five, justices.

Twenty-six — That’s the average tenure in years of Supreme Court justices since 1970. While presidents remain in office for four or eight years, Supreme Court appointees have the opportunity to shape our laws for a generation or more.

We know what sort of justices Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama would appoint. Both voted against John Roberts and Samuel Alito and have spoken admiringly of the court’s most liberal justices. Mr. McCain, on the other hand, voted to confirm both Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, and he has pledged to nominate “strict constructionist” judges in the mold of the court’s four conservative members. With so many Supreme Court rulings — including those concerning abortion, affirmative action, states’ rights, the Second Amendment and religious freedom — being decided by slim 5-4 margins, the prospect of either Democratic candidate nominating even one justice should be enough to rally conservatives around Mr. McCain.
