Is McCain going to screw conservatives (again)?

While there's no question that we must not allow a Bambi into the Oval Office, there's also no question that we must hold McCain accountable for his liberal positions - abortion, "comprehensive immigration reform," "globull warming," etc.

Opinion: a McCain/Ridge or a McCain/Guiliani (McRidge or McRudy)?

The only way you have to do this is to not vote for him.

I wonder if Michelle hasn’t jumped the shark. She’s beginning to sound old and bitter.

“Is McCain going to screw conservatives (again)?”

What a silly question. OF COURSE he is!

Maybe not on THIS issue, but he WILL screw us (again).

I got dibs on being the first to say “You knew what you were getting when you voted for him”.

Is McCain going to screw conservatives (again)?

I have no reason to think he won’t. He tends to do that a lot and he’s fairly good at it.

I still do not believe this will happen. McCain/Pawlenty continues to seem a likely ticket to me.

If John Kasich is willing, that’s another possibility.

You can probably count that McCain will screw us 20% of the time. Obama will screw us 100% of the time. In the end, McCain will be better than Bush, IMHO. Except I doubt if it will even be possible for McCain to get any good judges appointed to the court unless the GOP pulls off some kind of miracle in the Senate.

He’s not going to win anyway. Obammy said so yesterday. McCain will assure the Arrogant One of victory when he names a pro-choice Veep.

You don’t win by losing.

"The only way you have to do this is to not vote for him."

That would be lovely if it didn't mean a Bambi or Shrillery presidency.

McCain is a RINO. Duh. But he is a liberal republican. If I were voting without a conscience, as I used to, I would vote for the lesser of these two evils. But I’m not... :) Go Ron Go! Conscience clear.

Then why’d we pick a loser?

Don’t blame me, I would’ve voted for Thompson if he had still been on the ticket!

Its certain that McCain is a better choice than obama. But conservatives have to always hold his feet to the fire.

First chance he gets McCain will sell conservatives down the river.

The VP choice is a toughie. Obama is really of a piece with Gore and heinz’s husband. However, after three defeats the dems are likely to choose a new kind of democrat in the next presidential cycle. They’re putting Mark Warner up for keynote.

What kind of republican could beat warner. He is very much like Romney only his story is better.

We didn’t - the media picked a loser for us.

Seriously. I want to feel good about the decision I make for presidency. Besides, at least I can’t be blamed for whoever screws up the country next.

Every solicitation I get from McCain (and there are a lot) goes straight to the trash. I know I am typical of a lot of conservatives in that regard. I'll vote for him, but that's it (even at that I'm renigging on prior statements).

Maybe our rejection just makes the guy even more "moderate"-- I don't know. In any event, it is what it is, and I am not going whole hog for McCain.

I think this is not the time to risk losing votes for McCain.

On the issues you mentioned:

abortion - McCain is pro-life. He understands that the key is judges. What’s the problem here?

“comprehensive immigration reform” - can’t argue here

“globull warming” - I think he’s being purely political here and there’s no point for his campaign to take a stand against environmentalism. I cringed too when he mentioned it in the debates, but I’m certainly not going to drop my support over just this issue.
