..I do not like John McCain.
I like socialist women and the most liberal senator in America less, far less. Our partys primaries have been hijacked by casual voters, liberals, moderates and even Democrats.
Our Evangelical friends have to shoulder much of the blame for giving us McCain. They have unfairly called Mormonism a cult and now all of us will suffer the consequences Im damned mad about this, but I cant do anything about it. [ McCain] will be elected. America will not select either Democrat over him. Many Hillary hating Democrats will vote for McCain.
..the conservative radio talkers did all they could. They are now the de facto leaders of the conservative movement. accept facts. Some of them insist McCain cant win. I very much disagree.
Each conservative has to make a personal decision. We can swing wild in blind anger or carefully think things through. If you are old enough to vote, you are old enough to have been disappointed or you really havent lived much of a life. We dont always get our way. If we jump wrong now, out of anger and frustration, we will insure
putting America, no our own families in danger. The danger of picking wrong at this point is history can not be over stated.
grievances against John McCain are [not] unimportant. They are very important. [but]we seem to be losing the fact that vicious Islamist terrorists want to kill us and will kill us and our children if we have the wrong Commander in Chief. ..a willingness to put aside the importance ..war against terror and make believe a Hillary Clinton or a Barack Obama would keep us safe from further attack is where I step off of the anti- McCain bandwagon. These three people are simply not interchangeable.

Conservatives have never had any influence on McCain and will not have any influence on a lame duck President McCain. (Can anyone really imagine a second term at his age?) He will hobnob with Dems and pass a Democratic agenda by strong arming
party loyalist into voting for the leftist legislation. No thanks, there is no reason to vote for McCain.
Nope I totally understand. But I would like them to be honest about what they believe and not take the ‘seeker sensitive approach’ which I think is a deceptive practice.
I think everyone is totally obscuring the issue. I agree with your post. It disqualifies a person if they feel they have to lie about what they believe in order to obtain that office. And I’ve already seen and heard that from his own mouth.
Then there’s huckabee, who while he has some good conservative social policies, has far too many socially and fiscally liberal ones and admits to believing in the seeker-sensitive approach. This leads me to think he is going to have a HARD time pushing issues which because of our pluralistic society are terribly divisive and controversial.
If Mit gives his delegates to Huckabee then that will make it a real race.
No? How about the possibility of 3 or 4 Supreme Court Justices retiring? Who would you rather have appoint new ones?
