McCain Apparently Calculates He Can Win Without Conservatives

At this point, I see a McCain/Giuliani or a McCain/Lieberman ticket. I just hope I am wrong, and that McCain will suprise us.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Word is that he may choose Huckster.

[South40]

It won't matter.

A McCain/Anything ticket will be at least 4 more years of a faux conservative president.

[OpusatFR]

“Does he take conservative support for granted? Does he even want them?”

Hmmm...so who do you suggest? Obambi or Nothing?

I have to vote for McCain. I like living here.

I see a McCain/Giuliani or a McCain/Lieberman ticket.

Yuck.

I see either one of those as extremely lame.

Neither brings a lot to the ticket as far as electability.

Both would gain praise from MSM types as being "moderates", but so what?

I repeat:
Yuck.

This is more than just getting elected without conservatives.

This is about getting elected while giving us the finger.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg II & III are warming up in the wings.

A lot of conservatives are nervous about McCain. For the time being, they are reulctantly supporting him, but he has to do more to win them over.

[Past Your Eyes]

Win without conservatives? Of course that’s the way he’s been thinking right along. Sad thing is, he may well be right.
Other than the occasional bone and some lip service, conservatives get little from him.

[Mrs.Z]

At the federal level I care about taxes, guns and the SCOTUS.

McCain is still better than any dim on these.

[devere]

If you think the USA can survive 4 or more years of Obama without serious damage, then don’t vote for John McCain.

[Past Your Eyes]

Why does he have to “win them over”? Maybe a few will stay home but where else are we going?

[socialismisinsidious]

I have to vote for McCain. I like living here.

Me too. I also like the troops and worry about the Supreme Court.

I'm going to go throw up now.

[DoughtyOne]

If elected Clinton or Obama would not be the head of the Conservative movement. If elected, John McCain would be.

As consumate leftists elected to lead the nation as a liberal, neither of these two could do the damage to Conservatism that a leftist John McCain could from within the Conservative movement itself.

Say what you will, I see that as a very big problem.

[D-fendr]

Triage:

Stop the Hillary
Stop the Obama
Stop the McCain

[Czar]

"...then don’t vote for John McCain."

OK--I won't.

[jch10]

I’m voting for McCain because he will do less damage to my country than either of the Dems. I don’t like it. I’m disgusted that the GOP didn’t do better. I don’t see where I have another choice.

[sauropod]

When is he going to make a serious effort to reach out to conservatives?

He's not.

Screw Juan McCain.

[pinochet]

“...Both would gain praise from MSM types as being “moderates”, but so what?...”

But that is what McCain lives for. MSM attention is all that matters to him. He will get all the praise, which will help him lead his so-called “moderate coalition” to victory in November.

[SampleMan]

Funny thing. McCain for POTUS called me the other day asking for money. I told them that McCain had already decided that he could win without me, and I’d already decided that he would need to go to independents for money.

[politicalwit]

Since Little Johnny McCain has conventiently forgotten about conservatives it leaves me no choice but to coventiently bypass his name on the election ballot.
