Sorry. As a Reagan Conservative I cannot support the CP. I support candidates who embrace all three pillars of Conservatism. Their anti-war plank directly opposes the defcon conservatives. I will support the AIP and Dr. Alan Keyes. The AIP's positions are in perfect union with Reagan Conservatism. While I am not yet a party member (I am now independent, after nearly 30yrs as a Republican) it is likely where I will end up.
McCain is far from perfect.
You have a knack for understatement.
But he is pro-life.
He is not.
He's pro-2A.
He is not.
He's in favor of victory in Iraq.
So is Keyes, only Keyes is a Conservative.
And he picked Sarah Palin.
Whimpy hamburger plan. Keyes is a real Conservative NOW, not on Thursday.
Those issues are easily enough for me to get enthusiastic, especially compared to the disaster that Obama would be.
You are a cheap date.
In the mean time, McCain wins, The Republicans give the IAs a general amnesty... 30m IAs (50m w/ chain migration), all newly minted socialist democrats, mainly located in the desert southwest, southern rockies, southern midwest, and southern coastal states, VOTE in the next election, overpowering the native conservative vote, and the Republican Southern Strategy, all the Republican Conservative strongholds are -gone-. No Sarah Palin for you. No more Republicans for you. Ever.
Doesn't it bug the crap out of you that Republicans are doing such a thing? Why would they institute the makings of their own undoing?
Your ill-timed ranting aside (I don't remember seeing you around during the primaries, bub)[...]
Oh yeah... I was here. Defended Hunter to the bitter end, and there's plenty of posts to prove it. He was the last Conservative standing, and when he stepped down, I left the Republicans. No more useless RINO party for me. I will work to build a Conservative party.
thanks a bunch for bumping this thread.
Sure. It serves my purpose as well as yours.
