no conservatives will vote for him

Another ridiculous statement. MANY conservatives WILL vote for him.

Not sure how you judge destroying the conservative movement as a good thing

Of course I said no such thing. Do you always make stuff up as you go?

liberals around here really seem to be coming out of the wood work in regards to "evil oil" and being "pro-McCain".

I have no idea what even means.

The simple fact is, you can not be a conservative and support a liberal piece of scum like McCain. You can support McCain, but that instantly makes you a liberal... you can not support liberals and claim to be a conservative.

McCain was not my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice. He has infuriated me on many occasions. Despite that, I would prefer him over any democratic candidate, hands down. Reality is that McCain or the democratic nominee IS going to be the next President, barring something very bizarre happening.

Very simple question - do you really think we'd be better off for the next 4 years with Obama (or Hillary if she steals the nomination) than McCain? I don't know about you, but the thought of Obama or Hillary in the WH and large majorities of demoncrats in Congress scares the living daylights out of me.

Another thing. YOU don't get to decide what the litmus test for a conservative is. You can say "if you do X, then you are a liberal", but your words are not worth 1 red cent. I can say something similar. "No true American patriot would vote for Obama or anyone else other than McCain, because a vote for anyone else (or no vote at all) IS a vote for Obama/Hillary. And to sit by and allow such a person to occupy the WH is an act of treason, and no such person can call themselves a patriot."

Now, is such a statement true just because I type it on a computer screen? No. No more true than your statement.

MANY conservatives WILL vote for him.

No, by voting for him, they define themselves as something other than conservative. This is an inarguable fact. You can not support liberal positions and claim to be a conservative.

Do you always make stuff up as you go?

You support an ultra-liberal and want to say you're not helping destroy the conservative movement? It's obvious that you're either a liberal or someone who claims to be conservative but has no concept of what that means. These are the only two options for you if you support McCain.

I have no idea what even means.

You can not claim to support McCain or think that oil prices are a result of anything other than macro-supply and demand economics. People supporting McCain are by that very fact not conservative.

...I would prefer him over any democratic candidate, hands down.

Thus you are supporting the decline of the conservative movement. Hussein will be terrible, but will assure the cleansing of the GOP of scum like McCain.

YOU don't get to decide what the litmus test for a conservative is.

No, I certainly don't, but you can't support a liberal candidate and be a conservative, thus McCain supporters are not conservative. It's a simple fact, but remember, you can't claim to be conservative if you support McCain, period.
