“No he wouldn’t. There is little uncertainty about McShamnesty.”
We say that now... We can hope that McCain isn’t the nominee. But if he is, conservatives will have to decide whether they’re willing to take his 68% ACU rating, or if that 32% is awful enough for them to sit the election out or vote 3rd party. Let’s be clear on this - the man many posters here backed, Fred Thompson, was part and parcel of campaign finance reform. That leaves amnesty as John McCain’s weak point, and I believe his military background would offset this in a general versus even more amnesty oriented candidates such as Hillary and Obama.
I find it hard to believe too many conservatives are going to chose pro-amnesty McCain over a candidate like Romney who has a much more conservative platform across the board, AND has good economic credentials.
