Two highly emotional issues. Conservatives fought Bush43 on comprehensive immigration reform and won. If necessary, we can beat McCain on the amnesty issue too. The "Globull" warming issue will take an even bigger effort, I'm afraid.
I can understand why conservatives find McCain so repulsive. We don't trust him, period. That was my position with Giuliani and Romney. Then again, I knew neither would get the nomination. So whether one calls McCain a moderate, a liberal or a socialist, he's definitely got a big challenge ahead of him in getting conservatives to vote for him come November. So far I'm not convinced. We shall see.
We won against Bush because we bypassed him and went directly to our congresscritters...and scared the hell out of them.
We don’t have to fight McCain, just “convince” those who will be voting on the issues.
