So instead of a Democrat the Republicans can attack and block. We would get a Republican that behaves exactly like a Democrat that Republicans (in congress) would have to back.

This is good for the country how? This helps conservatism how?

It doesn’t matter anyway. If McCain gets the Republican nod, the media will outright savage him.

If he does get in, he’ll throw the flood gates for illegals even wider. We’ll face yet more government regulation “for our own good”. He’ll support massive growth of the Federal government, similar in almost all manner to a democrat. For an added bonus, he does carry grudges and he has an anger management problem. All of this is his own words.

As far as a drama queen? I am looking at this as soberly. The only unique thing about this election is that none of the candidates of either party belong in the white house. It is sad how far we have fallen.

I don’t see any way that a McCain win helps anything. On the other hand, America is about to be taught a lesson because of our foolishness.

I agree with everything you've written. I know that Michael Medved always says that when people say that "there is no difference between the Republicans and the Democrats" they are always wrong; and, then he will go on to point out tax policy, or judges, or social issues. Well, with McCain, there is NO difference. And, you are absolutely right concerning his "temperament". In 2000, people actually were talking about that, now, only silence.

As for those people on this site who are saying that they will not vote for HRC or Obama; McCain is counting on just that. I feel sorry for those Republicans on ballots this election season if McCain is at the top of the ticket, because a lot of conservatives are going to be staying home. (I will have to vote because I want to "re-elect" Dino Rossi for WA state governor, but I will probably write-in someone else for President.)

And finally, just MHO, but I believe that Republicans, and conservatives especially, are about to enter our "Wilderness Years".
