If a lifetime ACU rating of 83 over 22 years makes McCain a liberal, hardcore conservatives ill just marginalize themselves out of elected positions just as hardcore liberal/leftsist have.
Every Freeper should begin every day reminding themseleves that the country is not nearly as conservative as they are. Once people come to grips with that, the rest becomes much easier.
Otherwise what the the threshold for liberal? An ACU rating of 85 or less? 90? Keep it real, true believers, or maginalize yourself for a very long time.
In 2004 Bush won 97 of the 100 fastest growing counties in the US, with a 1.7 million vote edge in those 100 -- regardless of when they set their alarm clocks.
If Arizona can do better than McCain -- and they can -- then McCain has no business in the White House.
She's for partial birth abortion, gay marriage, and objected to parental notification for minors to get abortions when she was governor of NJ.
Tell me again about how conservative McCain pretends to be.
BTW, Jack Danforth is also on the same Board with Whitman.
