Wasn’t that was the GOP was peddling him as in 2008?

I knew he full well wasn’t - and voted for the Constitutional Party candidate.

The GOP was also telling me that Mittens Romney was also a “conservative” in 2012.

Hey, you asked where I got the idea. I’m just repeating what I’ve been told by people who are supposed to know oh-so-very-much more than I — people like the Round Mount of Failure, Karl Rove - whom that dumb stump-hole Hannity calls “The Architect.”

Architect of what, I have no idea.

And then there’s “National Journal” rating McCain as more conservative than others in the US Senate in 2010:

The American Conservative Union rates members of Congress - and they rated McCain as a “conservative” with a score over 80%.

So.... you asked where I got the idea?

Answer: From the people who claim to measure what is (and isn’t) “conservative.”

McCain’s been pushing the Q-Tip in too far again.

The GOP has been hijacked by the Republican left.

I’ve been told by people who are supposed to know oh-so-very-much more than I — people like the Round Mount of Failure, Karl Rove - whom that dumb stump-hole Hannity calls “The Architect.”

Karl Rove has been the strongest opponent of conservative Republicans I have ever seen, taking the fight to ANY conservative Republican, but holding fire against liberal Democrats.

And then there’s “National Journal” rating McCain as more conservative than others in the US Senate in 2010:

The National JOURNAL??? Hey, I know, why don't you cite Mother Jones....arguably one of the only publications to the left of National Journal. LOL

The American Conservative Union rates members of Congress - and they rated McCain as a “conservative” with a score over 80%.

ACU has been issuing suspect numbers for a while now. I'm not sure what's happening to them. I've seen them rate my RINO Georgia Senators highly. I'm wondering if ratings can be bought.

Three of the sources you have cited are liberal-leaning, and the fourth is suspect.

So, once again, I ask you: Where in the right tit of Odin did you ever get the utterly mistaken impression that John McCain is 'conservative', or that anyone here says he is???!?
