"Don't say 'we' Kemo Sabe". Seriously, John McCain is not courting conservatives because he believes he can achieve the White House without us. You, being so adamant about pulling that lever, apparently count yourself among the "moderates" and "conservative Democrats" with whom he believes he can win. So your question addressed to me (and other conservatives by extension) is misplaced.
I fully accept the fact that McCain and the GOP are going ahead with this election without our (conservative) support. So-be-it. My point to you, and all other McCain supporters here; your belief that we will be responsible for McCain's defeat is illogical and misplaced. McCain doesn't want our support and believes he can win without it. That's a given. He doesn't even list FR on his list of conservative blogs to populate. If you're going to be honest with yourselves, and us, give up this argument. It's not going to work, and is useless. If McCain loses, it will be because of his strategy, not because of us.
I AM a conservative. I don’t like McCain and was voting for Hunter or Thompson until they backed out.
I too said I would neer vote for him. Now, with the choice between McCain and Obama, what CAN I do.
Please don’t refer to me as a “moderate”. Check my postings on other subjects.
CLEARLY the media hand-picked McCain in the debates by ignorning the other candidates or trying to set them up.
