McCain is seen as the leader of the GOP by most Republicans. He is also a member of The Council for a New America. He is quite relevant.
Great strategery! Let a Democrat "lead" the Republican Party right into the dustbin of history.
Really?...Not according to the Republicans I know. But then from the liberal tone of your posts so far, I take it you are one of those silk sock, Nelson Rockefeller, country club Republicans who send regular donations to Big Tent RINO Central (RNC).
You've insulted every conservative on this site. Keep that up and you're going to have a very short career on FR. You had better hope JimRob hasn't noticed your obnoxious presence yet on his forum.
And by the way, there is no such thing as "moderately conservative". It's a lot like trying to be "moderately pregnant" -- just doesn't work.
