Did the NYT forget Obama’s 4 more years mantra or what?
McCain is supposed to be more of the same isn’t he?
What happened here?
typical
the liberal media trying the devide and conquer now routine
pathetic and cringworthy
Trying to make trouble for McCain with his base. How kind of you, Old Gray Lady.
We all know the problems with McCain in the past. Let’s hope he gets better in office, because he and Sarah are what we’ve got. But the times would prefer Osama Hussein.

I am a conservative and I disagreed with the Platform at the OK GOP Convention. We had parts in there that said withdraw our troops immediately from Iraq. It had so much wrong that I voted NAY on adoption along with about half the delegates but the Ron Paul types along with the very far right got their platform as they joined together to get the worthless piece of paper passed.
My opinion of platforms is that they belong in the round cylinder that sits by a desk.
No candidate could run on what I saw in the OK GOP Platform and get elected.
McQueeg has the opportunity to either bring the party together or destroy it for good. Palin is a great pick but he hasn’t even scratched the surface of what he needs to do to earn my vote yet.
“Obama policies differ sharply from the U.S. Constitution.”
McCain is a moderate on many issues. This is nothing new and has been discussed on Free Republic many times. That’s part of the reason he picked Mrs. Palin, because she is a conservative (especially on social issues) and will help bring out the conservative base for the ticket.
In terms of actual governing, the party platform doesn’t mean much, for either party. When McCain is elected, he will implement those policies he believes in (and that he can get passed), whether they are consistent with the party platform or not.
This won’t work either. Though it might convince a few more disaffected dems to vote for McCain.
