No what will marginalize Conservatives is this demand that no matter what the Republican Establishment does, Conservatives can be relied upon to show up and vote for it. You want to be able to treat Conservatives the way the Democrats treat the black vote. That truly would marginalize us.

McCain’s record of the last 10 years is virtually 100% anti Conservative. He needs to build a bridge to us. He needs our votes. He not going to get those votes by arrogantly demanding them as his due. That is what he did today. Not going to work. We are not at all marginalized by saying “Hey, a Liberal is a Liberal” why waste our time and money supporting Democrat Lite?

He cannot win without us. Words aren’t enough. He is going to have to match his words with some solid actions to assuage Conservatives who doubt him based on his record.

Absolutely. Thank you! I was working on a similar reply, but yours summed up exactly what I was going to say.

I agree.

I McCain somehow wins the election in Nov (without my vote of course) and spends the next four years pushing the conservative agenda, building a fence, passing taxi cuts, etc.

Then and only then in 2012, I’ll consider voting for him for re-election.
