The truth of the matter is that McCain isn't a conservative at all. He's an anti-First Amendment, anti-Second Amendment, anti-tax cut, pro-amnesty, pro-abortion (you can't be for federally-funded embryonic stem cell research and claim to be "pro-life"), pro-global warming pseudoscience liberal who spends more time siding with Democrats than Republicans.
And need I point out that McCain wants to close Guantanamo Bay, grant the civil liberties of American citizens to terrorists, and deny our interrogators the very tools that make terrorists crack?
And we're supposed to excuse all that because that clown has an 'R' by his name?
Thanks, but no thanks.
Well, I agree, and please don’t think I am a McCain supporter. To me this is more about what the state of the part is that has gotten us this dog’s dinner. It’s too late for 08. Now is the time to be thinking about the FUTURE and about how NOT to end up with this again.
Welcome to FR.
And how presumptuous of liberals to tell us what "conservative" means, as though people who a few months ago wouldn't recognize a conservative if it landed in their tofu are suddenly ideological touchstones who define OUR philosophy.
