Now that’s what I call whistling in the dark. McCain the RINO doesn’t represent me. Nor will he ever.

I thought conservativism meant Federalism and now Rick Santorum wants the Feds to dictate to the State aboout marriage.
Why not leave it up to the States?

Correction.
Mccain must change views period. Not only that, he must prove it.
He can start by embracing the word “fence” and appointing Tancredo or Sheriff Joe as his “Immigration Czar”

conservatives are less interested in conversions based on politics than in decisions based on sound policyThis succintly states why I cannot and will not vote for McCain. Any issue that he now "agrees" with me (a conservative) (e.g. taxes, supreme court nominations & immigration) is because of politics.
Santorum lists many issues where McCain does not agree with me/conservatives and I'm not at all interested in political year conversions.

because federalism isn’t an item on single issue voter checklists

McCain also has been a proponent of capping carbon emissions to stop global warming. Worried about global warming? I suggest trusting in the Lord will do a lot more than reducing your carbon emissions. Fear God, not global warming.

Because Rick and others are smart enough to realize that eventually, the actions of derelict states like Massachusetts will make the butt-sex marriage issue a federal one. Better to head it off now.

I thought that Reagan was in favor of limited Federal Govt yet some want unlimited Federal Govt in the name of Reagan when it comes to promoting certain social policies.

Why is the government involved in marriage at all? Are we really FREE when we to have to get a license from the government to get married? Why not a license to have children? Replace the word “license” with “permission” and see how that feels.
To: Antoninus
That’s up to the people of the Commonweath of Massachusetts, not to the Federal govt.

Why now would any one expect lord McCain to view ‘social’ issues as part of his electorate..... That vast most fittest to survive elitist moderates above it allllllll now control the party. I am content sit back and watch to see how things play out for their supremacy.

not just that but in the name of conservatism they want the govt to impose trade barriers on our allies and non-enemies, a Japan style industrial policy, ethanol and other agricultural subsidies and all kinds of defense projects that the military doesn’t need in the name of creating jobs.

what the federal govt should do is ensure that other states are not forced to accept MA’s gay marriage.

Santorum nails it.
McCain will get votes but he will not get volunteers and effort from citizens.
It will NOT be “YEAH! vote McCain!”
it WILL be “whatever, vote mcain.”
THIS is the danger for the DOWN TICKET.

I can’t even get to the “whatever, vote McCain’ part.
The man is as uninspiring as a doorknob.
