The comments about McCain here are interesting....but keep in mind, he couldn’t run on his own. So look to the R leadership and consider them in the same light you consider McCain. If the RNC brought him to the party as the candidate to support, they are no better. They have successfully killed true conservative candidate campaigns over the years. Those that seem conservative that they supported were supported because they believed the candidate was able to be manuevered and manipulated to do their bidding...displaying a point of weakness, or hiding something in their closet that the RNC knew about to hold over them. The party leadership, not just the candidate, cannot be trusted or believed and needs replacing....but then what? You still have RINOs in the party at other levels who will try to influence toward the Left. They aren’t even standing on party planks any more as can be seen in McCain. Perhaps it is time to simply put the trash in the trash bin and begin anew. AIP is clearly conservative in every sense. If you choose to buy into the third party won’t work view...remember it was the RINOs that fed that buzzard to keep their party members in line, in fear, and following them.
Was? They still are. The GOP is a flat dead joke.
