Very nice, but do you see what McCain is doing? Why do you think he floated the Ridge trial balloon? He obviously wanted to be able to pander to the left. Of course we screamed bloody murder (literally), but really do you think choosing a pro-lifer as VP represents an honest change of mind from him? Do you think he’ll actually change his left-appeasing ways if he gets into office? Really???
Yep, McCain is better than Obama. So too is drowning to death better than burning to death. We’re on a leftward slide, we just get to control how fast we go.
Well, nobody will change their expedient opinions without pressure. He floated the trial balloon, we screamed, and it worked. That’s the system.
I think McCain is so liberal he could easily get into the “personally opposed but whatever’s cool with you” camp. It’s up to us to keep him out of it.
Exactly, all McCain is doing is playing both ends against the middle.
Pretending to desire to put a Pro-Abortion VP on the ticket to bind the conservatives closer to him when he decides against it because “He gets it now” and showing the left that he really isn’t that conservative (Like everyone doesn’t already know this) and he tried, but just couldn’t overcome his base and win the election. (but he certainly deserves Kudos for trying <\SARCASM>)
This is pure manipulation on the McCain camp.
