I agree. The RNC better see this, and soon. Talking down conservatives will not bring them to the voting booth. If McCain really wants my conservative vote then he needs to introduce legislation ...now. He's a sitting Senator. Take a day or two off the campaign trail and author bills to repeal McCain-Feingold and make the Bush tax cuts permanent for starters.
I'm waiting.
In addition, if the GOP has any thoughts that Hillary voters would prefer McCain to Obama, they’re even dumber than I thought.
I’ve been told, in no uncertain terms by the McCainiacs on this board that there will be no deals with conservatives. So, it seems apparent that the conservatives will just have to sit this one out because falling in line behind an inevitable loser would marginalize conservativism forever.
The best that we can do is concentrate on our state races and get conservatives elected in both federal and state legislatures. Make a strong energy policy and sensible environmental regulation the focus because that can be influenced at the state level. National security is a federal issue.
