We’ve already established that your core values allow you to enthusiastically support a liberal, provided he has an (R) after his name and his opponent is a super or hyper liberal.

Who is this WE, kimosabe?

I'm conservative, but I'm not into political suicide. McCain IS the Republican nominee. In the November election, it will be between him and Barack Obama. There are no other viable candidates. Given my knowledge of the Democrat Party's stand on the issues about which I care deeply, I do not want one of their number anywhere NEAR the White House for the forseeable future. If that means that I have to accept a less than perfect Republican for that position, so be it. I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't want a hard core Marxist in the White House.

This has been a strange year for Republicans, with several conservative candidates splitting the primary votes, and allowing the more moderate candidate to take the nomination. We can pout and bitch all we want about the fact that our guy isn't the nominee, but that deal is done, and we have to now deal with the reality on the ground. McCain is a far sight different from Obama, and I would much prefer him to be making the decisions as President than Obama or any other Democrat.
