OBAMA is the choice of McCain in 08, by your logic.
After all, if he wanted to win, then why alienate the conservatives--he is the one who did it. If he can win without us, then that's his choice....but I'm not going to say that it's perfectly fine for Republicans to be liberal and still expect my vote. All that does is encourage liberalism....which is evidently Huck's choice for 08, 12, 16, etc...
BTW, Sen. McCain hasn't even made it to being the nominee..and besides, I still haven't voted in the primary contests. I still can vote for a conservative, Dr. Ron Paul.
He is what he is. In the Senate, McCain leveraged the middle against the two sides. That is, he built a coalition of "centrists"(the Gang of 14 as they came to be known), so that the center, which typically has to ride along with one side or the other, could have some power of its own. Unfortunately for those of us on the right, he was rather effective at times.
In the process, he alientated a lot of conservatives. To his credit, he hasn't tried to hide the fact. He's been pretty honest about his ideas.
If he can win without us, then that's his choice....but I'm not going to say that it's perfectly fine for Republicans to be liberal and still expect my vote.
That's your choice. Just understand that the consequence is that someone EVEN MORE LIBERAL gains an advantage by your abstention. Deny it all you want, it's a fact.
All that does is encourage liberalism
I don't agree with this at all. It ought to encourage conservatives to do a better job next time around of finding a candidate. This time out, there was not a single conservative candidate who had motivation, skill, and money. Not a single one. We can't blame McCain for that. If the movement is so great, how come there was no leader?
besides, I still haven't voted in the primary contests. I still can vote for a conservative, Dr. Ron Paul.
True, and McCain will still be the nominee, and you will still be faced with the choice come november--either you help McCain win or you help the DEM win. Deny it all you want, it's a fact.
Paul will give us Hillary like Perot gave us her husband! Great choice! ;o)
I thought he was a Congressman.
Does he still have a baby-catching practice going on the side?
