There’s Too Much at Stake for Conservatives to Shrug Like Atlas

Conservatives dont love John McCain, but unless theyre considering abandoning their cause with Atlas Shrugged proportions, theres no way in hell theyll vote for Barack Obama.
Sometimes, things have to get worse before they get better. And with that idea in mind, the conservative movement really is Americas crutch.
The most specific example is economics, as conservatives constantly preach lower taxes and greater individual freedom. One would think that the Bush tax cuts, which have yielded continued economic growth (yes, our economy is growing, despite the lies you keep hearing), and the burgeoning economy during the Reagan Administration would provide enough proof to, at the very least, convince people that maybe, just maybe, theres something to be said for lower taxes.

Sorry, I didn’t mean you. But some newbies have shown up and have a very pro McCain agenda.
The other day I read where McCain has teams of bloggers discussing his stands online..
My comment was a general statement.

Vehemently disagree. McCain would be more damaging to conservatism than Obama. The next 2-4 years are going to be very, very hard. Regardless of who gets elected. However, the man in charge takes the blame. McCain will be up against a 70 vote majority house and filibuster proof senate. Anyone who thinks a conservative judge will get through is smoking crack. And its entirely possible theyll defund the war anyway. So what would we end up with? A global warming believing, gitmo closing-captured terrorist coddling, tax hiking (and lying), free speech suppressing, angry socialist.
You ain't so crazie, man. Blackbird.

I agree. McCain has to make some concessions to conservatives, at least two of which he has made already. What would be enough for you? Oh? Which "concessions" were these, pray?
How many concessions will Obama make to conservatives do you think?
Crashingly irrelevant, as Obama is not running as the Republican candidate for the presidency this year; McCain is.

Besides the fact that a vote for McCain is abandoning our cause with Atlas Shrugged proportions.

But please tell me how your statement is true.You didn't ask me, but one way it is true is that we got welfare reform. We would not have gotten that under either Bush.
And under Clinton, we didn't get ADA, we didn't get Medicare Part D, we didn't get McCain-Feingold, and on and on.

By it's signup date, and it's postings that sounds verbatim from the Cheerleading Handbook, I'm truly convinced that it's a campaign plant. The only question is whether it's volunteer work, or pay per click.
I'm leaning towards the latter.
