At least McCain has a fairly conservative track record...

NEVER MCCAIN - HE IS A TRAITOR. Not Republican. Not Democrat. A TRAITOR. His actions in the midst of our political discourse have NULLIFIED everything he swore to uphold as a soldier, much less a Congressman. He deserves NOTHING.

Do you consider pushing a bill through the Congress and getting it signed by the President that abrogates and flies in the face of the First Amendment a conservative track record? Do you propose that wanting to severely limit our military in its ability to perform its duty as protectors of this country a conservative track record?

No, I do not consider his positions on those issues as conservative, nor am I a supporter of his. Still, in the interest of honesty, I pointed out that he does have a conservative track record overall. His lifetime American Conservative Union rating is 83%, which is fairly conservative. His record on almost all conservative voting record ratings puts him among the more conservative members of the U.S. Senate. I point this out because so many on this site are quite wary of him, but give others with no track record, or a less conservative record a pass. In particular, I was responding to a post that wondered why there was so much support for Condi and so much revulsion for McCain. McCain's personality grates on my nerves and I strongly disagree with the position he has taken on a number of issues lately. That does not stop me from being honest about his record. Again, I bring this up
to raise the question as to why some potential candidates, with a far less conservative record, or none at all, are receiving so much support on this forum.
