Do you think the Conservative message and ideals are what should drive this nation? I do. I consider John McCain to be a spike in the casket of Conservatism. He sill not appoint Conservatives. He will not advance Conservative ideals. He will not advance Conservative policy. He will defeat Conservatism on all but one or two fronts. Even there he will reach out to Democrats to advance his Iraq policy. Oh he won’t do it up front. He’ll do it by cutting military budgets, or some other thing behind the scenes.

This has been the McCain modus operandi for the last twenty years. His voting record looks good, but his side deals, policy statements and reaching out to the Democrats almost exclisively, say otherwise.

This man will destroy Conservatism as a movement.

As bad as Obama is, Conservatism would thrive under his first term. The opposition would be fierce.

Under McCain, there simply wouldn’t be a vehicle to advance Conservatism. The party leaders, prominant elected officials and even state leaders would be forced to go left or be shut out of the process.

A McCain victory, would be a total disaster for the nation. Not only would the nation go left, the aparatus to turn it back right would be gone.

The movement is in the toilet right now thanks to the current president and the party apparati in the various states.

You'll never convince me that McCain would be worse for the country than Obama. Never in a million years.

That said, we MUST begin taking the party back at the grassroots level. Forget about McCain. Do you know who runs your local GOP? Have you ever met him/her? Do you contribute to it?

If not, you're part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I wish I could say you are wrong.

You’re not.
