WASHINGTON - Liberal Republican presidential candidate John McCain admitted on Saturday it can be difficult at times to be proud of the United States.

Jeff Mason and Reuters? I’d get another version of what was actually said before believing this tripe.

It is not “tough to be proud of your country”. It is not “tough in some respects”. It is tough to be proud of McCain:)

McCain has it in his mind that moderates really dislike conservative values, and he's completely wrong. Conservatives which are true conservative never go moderate while centerist half the time come around to conservative thinking.

McCain is so arrogantly bumbleheaded about this point, he's might get trounced in Nov. because of it!

The worst thing about voting for MeCain is if he wins he will be even more embolden to be the Maverick he always has, working with his liberal friends across the isle to give Amnesty to illegal immigrants, limit more of our free speech and punish business and achievers.

Damned if I do and Damned if I don't!

I think we need to understand where we are in the Republican party as of now.

We are the right wing version of the democrat party's blacks,gays,enviro-wackos,etc.

We will be routinely thrown under the bus since we have no where else to go. There is no down side to running us over time and time again.(until he needs money)

We are the base and as such are charged with maintaining the party as conservative until we can get rid of the rinos. It's not a pretty job but one that desperately needs doing.

I’d like to say a few words in Senator McCain’s defense:

William Jefferson Clinton, two-term president of the United States.

I rest my case.

I cannot see how anyone who considers themselves a conservative, regardless of the way you define it, could vote for McCain. He does not represent the principles of limited government by any stretch of the imagination. For that matter there are very few in the GOP who still do.

The day after our state’s primary my wife and I changed our registration to the Constitution party ending a four generation connection with the GOP. I doubt they will ever get us back.
