In his March 26 speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, McCain never mentioned the need to preserve American sovereignty. He could have reassured conservatives by stating his forthright opposition to Senate ratification of the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, which provides for international control over billions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals and undermines American claims to North Pole riches. But he chose not to.
Instead, as the Washington Post put it, McCain promised “a collaborative foreign policy,” conducted in coordination with other nations. The New York Times said he distanced himself from “unilateralism” in foreign affairs.
“Liberals are going to love this speech,” conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said about the McCain address. He said it sounded like the “global test” that liberal Democratic presidential candidate and Senator John Kerry had proposed for U.S. foreign policy in 2004.
Yet, McCain’s new TV ad calls him “the American president Americans have been waiting for.” The public should not be fooled. He is as much of a globalist as Hillary and Obama.
Noting that McCain committed himself to adoption of a new U.N.-sponsored global warming treaty, which would be even more comprehensive and tougher than the Kyoto Protocol, Limbaugh said that “The theme here is that there’s nothing special about America, and that we’re not going to be able to do anything without involving other nations and making them like us and showing them that we intend them no harm and that we want to be good stewards of the planet just as they want to be good stewards.”

That’s exactly right, Molly! He DOESN’T care what we think and feels he can win without the base and Indy cons like me. Fine! Make our day! He’ll be a three-time loser.
This is one trying election year. Nobody worth a damn to vote for: 3 snakes in a bag, reach in and pull out your pick.
The GOP doesn't need The Constitution Party to help them lose. They're perfectly capable of f***ing up on their own. For the last twenty years, starting with Poppy Bush, their nominees for President have began getting ever more abysmal.
Krauthammer trained as a psychiatrist. No matter how good his political analysis, from his professional training, he's still perfectly capable of making some very lunatic ideas sound plausible.
The best thing McCainiac has going for him is that the Hildabeast and Nobama are both socialists who were mentored by communists.
We (in the USA) live in a Constitutional Republic.
51% of the vote has no meaning, as the Founders intended.
>>But everyone else (other than POTUS) is 100% conservative.<<
???? I think you are trying to make some kind of a joke, but not sure.
>>But everyone else (other than POTUS) is 100% conservative. Conservatives are a mixed and varied breed ... of political thinker, ideologist and plain ole human.<<
I think you and I would agree that the word “conservative” can many many different things to different people.
My concern is that McCain will leave the borders open, then amnesty will add so many millions of Dem voters that, for example, pro-life judges on the SCOTUS will be a thing of the past. I hope that McCain is not as bad as he is leading us to believe he is.
“Grunthor’s a patriot”
No, he’s probably from stormfront, if not from the fiery depths of DU itself.
No one in their right mind would support the Constitution Party. One, they’re against the “illegal” war in Iraq, they’re against the Patriot Act, and they want to end free trade, gambling, and pornography.
Now, perhaps you can talk Americans into giving away their security. But their porn? — well, good luck with that.
Oh for gosh sakes...what are you talking about?
I would think if the man is running for President, he wouldn’t go out of his way to alienate prospective voters....even Conservatives.....thus, I would think he should care what we think.
“But hey, he’s right there in lockstep with the type of Republicans who have no problem with our elderly citizens, including our war vets, having to live on less money a month than their basic prescriptions cost.”
Socialists like yourself do not understand how subsidizing demand in this way raises the equilibrium price of a good. Instead, your types blame “corporate greed” for the predictable rise in costs and label those who want to reintroduce markets to lower costs as callous souls who don’t have a heart.
I agree with you about the welfare state. I’m not going to scapegoat immigrants, legal or illegal, because I understand how markets work. I just cringe when people like yourself argue that since illegals have socialism, everyone should have it. This is exactly how the State gets people to join its cause.
People here will support any socialist, as long as they will create a police state to deport illegals. It is downright pathetic, and stinks of racism.
“I would think he should care what we think.”
I disagree. Politics is not therapy. McCain isn’t out there to “feel your pain.”
McCain has plenty of conservative positions. Hence, your complaint must be that he is not ideologically pure, or that he doesn’t pose as a Messiah like Comrade Obama. Either complaint is stupid.
“We’ve had the skinny on McNasty for years.”
And now people want to pretend that they’ve never heard of the bass turd before.
Well, all the liberals on THIS site certainly did.
Liberals are here?
Certainly. You'll find them on virtually any/all of the Juan McAmnesty-centric threads, sighing and shuddering in orgasmic bliss over their chosen anti-conservative savior.
McCain just wants to be president
Hillary just wants to be president
Obama just wants to be president
None of them actually CARES about America!
That is clear. McCain is the lesser of the three devils. But he is NOT a Republican. He is NOT a conservative! Not at all!
McCain "conservatives" = hardcore liberals who nonetheless appreciate the occasional tax cut.
