I have to agree with you. The atmosphere on the Republican side is getting almost as bad as the demoncrat party was in 1968. If we want a more conservative candidate in the primary election, we just have to work harder and plan better. I mean, we(well, I am a conservative but have voted Republican for many years) sure taught the Republicans a lesson in ‘92 and allowed Clinton to take office for eight long years, didn’t we?

I also see that some of the stuff posted against McCain doesn’t stand up under scrutiny. One thing I keep hearing is that he voted against Bush’s tax cuts twice. Well, if you post that you’r only telling half the truth. Turns out that yes, he did vote against the cuts. Reason being, the tax cuts weren’t balanced by an equal cut in govt. programs. Quite a reasonable viewpoint, actually. From what I read, McCain is quite the fan of reducing Govt. spending. I do like that.

I don’t agree with all of his positions, but do agree with many of them. I will be voting for McCain in the primary this coming Tuesday even though he wasn’t my first choice (Fred Thompson was). I think that if we reject the Republicans now, the only message we will be sending them is that they need to become more liberal to get the votes (even though the libs. will never vote for a Republican).

Oh, yes. Then there are the Supreme Court Nominees...

"Reason being, the tax cuts weren’t balanced by an equal cut in govt. programs..."

That's what his excuse has morphed into NOW. At the time, he had the same reason the Democrats had - class envy - the rich didn't need or deserve a tax cut.
