Depends where you put the Center doesn’t it?
You just gotta love the Ape-Pee. No bias there.
Why is that a problem? The Democrats have kicked the Social Security "can" to age 70. By the time the Democrats get done "tweaking" Social Security the age 72 will be 10 years too early to retire.
Will McCain and the GOP care to read this:

Over 1200 responses from angry, fed-up conservatives who see the direction of the GOP is going. The GOP is completely abandoning core conservative beliefs and is trying to out-liberal the Democrats.
You beat me too it. Where “center” was 20 years ago would now be considered “Right Wing” by many folks. Considering McCain’s position on many issues, if he thinks he (and the nation) are “right-of-center”, then he must be saying that “Center” is what most of us would consider total, full-blown communism.
That it does.
Geeze and I thought I was fairly moderate until McQueeg came along.
And yet those earmark loving, scandal tolerating jackasses in the GOP caucus manage to screw up control of congress. These a-holes have been handed the keys to a cadillac by Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich and they have driven it into a ditch. Dennis Hastert, Duke Cunningham, and all those bums should have their GOP credentials permanently revoked.
I don't trust John McLame. I never will. This past month alone: He has moved more and more liberal lunatic with this global warming scam. He is courting liberal/moderate votes, while spiting on conservatives. He has attacked Bush on the war. His 2013 speech - where he capitulates to liberal Dems and treats America like it is the UK Parliament - was an absolute embarrassment and joke.
The more he talks, the more I get disgusted with this egocentric jerk. His first instinct is to always hate conservatives. If Obama weren't even more of a loathsome candidate, McLame would get his clock cleaned in November.
If McLame picks a moderate/liberal VP, someone like him, I will not vote for president.
You want a good preview of how McLame will govern, look at Arnold in CA...
Do you remember how you were once the majority party? Do you remember how you got there? You got there by being proud Conservatives and educating the public on what it means to be truly Conservative.
You are losing because you are now no longer anything but a mere echo of the Democrats' socialist agenda. You have forgotten the first principles of our Founding Fathers and the Constitution.
What got the ball rolling for Republicans? Gingrich and the "Contract With America". They expressed and ran on decidedly conservative principals. America appreciated that these politicians were giving them truth with real explanations and a real plan.
Once the Republicans gained the majority, they threw it all away.
I will vote for SOMEONE for President... it just won’t be any of the Liberal Political Three Stooges: Hillary/Obama/McCain.
I will vote for the candidate who most closely holds my points of view. I know I won’t find a candidate who is 100%, but I cannot bring myself to vote for someone who agrees with me on 1%, 2% or 7%.... And conservatives need to see this. Every time we vote for a RINO, it legitimizes that political position. Thus the next time around, the Repubs will be even MORE liberal... and yet bunches of zombie Republican Party loyalists will march dutifully to the ballot box to cast their lot for progressively more liberal “R” candidates. Then they will return home and gripe and moan about how our country is headed to Hell on an express elevator. Hello...You vote for a liberal, don’t complain when our government is liberal (regardless of the letter printed next to their name).
Really?
~20 years ago we had full blown illegal alien amnesty, we had Sandra Day O'Oconnor added to an already liberal Supreme Court, we had higher Federal Government spending as a percentage of GDP, we had campaign finance laws passed, we had Brady passed....I could go on.
Dude, I hate John McCain, his back stabbing ways and is 60% conservatism. But I don't let that cloud my vision of reality.
McCain is not a "7%" conservative, as you believe.
In other words he foresees neither Obama, Hillary nor himself being elected to The Presidency?
You must have been living in a (Batt)cave, or somethin'. By the end of '95, public opinion was against Newt. It was at that point, that the politicians turned tail on conservatism blip of '94.
Yeah, it's too bad the GOP couldn't have fielded a right-of-centre candidate this time around.
View this short video and tell me you want Obama for your president

Indeed. But McCain is not a conservative Republican by any measurement.
No one wants Obama, but no one wants McCain either. If you want to back a 3rd or independent candidate with strong Conservative principles, then we can talk.
