McCain, because he does all the things I cited while looking like he's trying to reach out to us, is dangerous in a different way. I think he's vain and weak. Taht's not the ame as being a Marxist, but it is dangerous. A McCain administrationwill advance liberal ends, IMO, not conservatiev ones. As with Nixon and Bush Sr., we get all the rhetoric and they get all the action.
(BTW, McCain told the San Francisco Chroicle that he would be against overtunrning Roe v. Wade.)
There are better alternatives. Keyes would be a better President than Juan McVain; Barr might be also, for that matter. There are real conservative alternatives to vote for.
When you support real conservatives, you tell whoever wins that this is the kidn of policy you want. When you vote for country-club RINOs, you tell whoever wins to act like a country-club RINO.
Yes you did. You said you would not vote for McCain. As it stands, the only way to keep Clinton-Obama out of the Oval Office is to “vote for McCain.” Therefore, one must conclude that since you won't vote AGAINST Clinton-Obama, you must see them as less dangerous than McCain. There is NO other way to see it, and I am FAR from a GOP spin doctor. I'm a conservative realist.
“McCain, because he does all the things I cited while looking like he's trying to reach out to us, is dangerous in a different way.”
Of course, a fact no conservative needs to have regurgitated over and over. That's why conservatives had better be working to take control of congress in order to block whomever becomes president.
“I think he's vain and weak. That’s not the same as being a Marxist, but it is dangerous.”
Exactly...
“A McCain administration will advance liberal ends, IMO, not conservative ones.”
Obviously, that depends on the issue at hand. McCain is in fact very conservative on many conservative issues. Just not all of them. His opponents are conservative on none of them.
“(BTW, McCain told the San Francisco Chroicle that he would be against overtunrning Roe v. Wade.)”
Vote pandering - he also has a very solid pro-life voting record in congress for many years.
“There are better alternatives.”
And NONE of them wont the nomination, nor do any of them have the power to knock McCain out of his nomination. So, no there isn't another viable alternative.
“Keyes would be a better President than Juan McVain; Barr might be also, for that matter. There are real conservative alternatives to vote for.”
Neither you name is 110% conservative either. Keyes in the one Republican in America with less chance of becoming president than Ron Paul, and Barr is not even a candidate yet, and if he becomes a candidate, he will be a 3rd party candidate, which makes him only a potential Ross Perot at best. Both men have skeletons in their closet to, BTW.
“When you support real conservatives, you tell whoever wins that this is the kidn of policy you want.”
Yes, and we did that, but we “conservatives” could NOT agree on who was the “real conservative” and none of them beat McCain in the primary as a result. Now, not one of them has the power to stop a Clinton - Obama administration, not matter how great you think they are. Only McCain has that power at this moment.
“When you vote for country-club RINOs, you tell whoever wins to act like a country-club RINO.”
Not if you tie their hands with a truly conservative senate at the same time...
