That’s why I think we have to accept that the Dems have already won the 2008 Presidency and get on with focusing on the Senate races, etc. and 2010 and 2012.

To elect McCain would be to cement their victory over our 2008 primary as a victory over the GOP as a conservative party. McCain would be installed as the GOP leader. Look how much damage was done by Bush’s disconnect with conservatives. For Bush this may have been unintended, but for McCain it would be a mission. And every Dem proposal would be “bi-partisan.”

Also, it will be much easier in 2012 for a conservative to run against an incumbant Dem than an incumbant Republican.

This is not to put the party over the country. For the country’s sake, we cannot afford to lose the party.

Dems twisted themselves into the same pretzels to justify their treasons over the last seven years. You are no different. You won't support your own country in an existential war unless your favorite faction rules it. That is your bottom line. It is the left's bottom line, too. And the English word for it is treason.
