Lets return you to reality. Conservative reality.

>>>>Conservatives don't have much use for McCain. I think you are living in dreamland.

If I was you, I'd work on my reading comprehesion skills. Never said conservatives approve of McCain. The issue has been Giuliani vs McCain, and in that matchup conservatives would reluctantly choose McCain over the liberal Giulaini. The Christian conservatives who constitute the Religious Right of the GOP, aren't about to vote for a pro-abortion, pro-homo, pro-gun control, pro-illegal, northeast liberal from NYCity, with a questionable record on matters realted to fiscal responsibility.

>>>>Neocons or RINO's?
The 2 couldn't be more apart.

You're sure about that?

The textbook definition of "neocon", aka."neoconservative" is,

***a former liberal espousing political conservatism
***a conservative who advocates the assertive promotion of democracy and U.S. national interest in international affairs including through military means

Irving Kristol is a neocon. In fact, Irving Kristol is the Father of American neoconservatism. A former liberal, who calls himself a conservative, but one who still supports the New Deal policies of FDR. His son, Bill Kristol, is also a neocon. The latter Kristol supports foreign policy adventurism that spreads democracy through heavy handed military force. Both Kristol's advocate and support big government Republicanism, along with being pro-abortion.

Both men could be classified as RINO`s. Especially the elder Kristol.

Charles Krauthammer is another neocon, aka.libertarian.

Neocon, libertarian and liberal Republicans ALL have been classiifed as RINO`s at one time or another.

Easy:


Yet the polls show that Rudy is the favorite not just of Republicans, but of conservatives. And my recent conversations - on and off the record - with state-level GOP activists shows that these folks range from enthusiastic to at least open to America's Mayor making a run for the Oval Office.


AND:

Some people who identify themselves as strong conservatives, even when we did do the push-poll questions in Georgia and Florida, were still more willing to go with Giuliani," Johnson said. "Strong, Christian conservatives."

There has already been a plenty of match ups between Rudy and McCain, in practically every 2008 poll since the start of this year, and Rudy has regularly clobbered McCain.
Your "conservatives would reluctantly choose McCain over the liberal Giulaini" is not supported by the reality on the ground.
And Rudy even beats McCain in polls where it's been made clear that to conservative voters that Rudy is liberal on a lot of issues.
Still Rudy is beating McCain amongst conservatives.
Conservatives are NOT choosing John McCain.

You are living on cloud cuckoo land.

I think it's you that had better work on your reading comprehensive skills.
I have never mentioned either Kristol or Krauthammer in any of my posts. You did.
I have talked about conservative bloggers like Powerline and Hugh Hewitt and conservative talk radio like Rush Limbaugh (14 million mainstream conservative listeners)listeners), all of whom regularly trash John McCain.
And I know for sure, that neither Powerline nor Hugh Hewitt, nor Limbuagh, nor any of the top conservative blogs I read espouse your "big government Republicanism, along with being pro-abortion" ideology.
And as far as I know, neither Kristol nor Krauthammer maintain any blogs.
If they do, I have never read them or referred to them in any previous posts of mine.
So you can keep creating your own bogeyman and shooting it down.
That's got nothing t do with me.
