Connerley: Leading push to end racial preferences.
'QUO vadis," conservatives? It's the ancient, apocryphal question the apostle Peter asked Jesus while fleeing persecution in Rome. Where are you going? Where do we go from here? The contest for the GOP presidential nomination is over. The conservative movement is not. Sen. John McCain's campaign resurrection and Super Tuesday victory leave a diverse group on the right - from the libertarian Club for Growth to First Amendment defenders to immigration enforcement proponents - dispirited. But the failure to nominate a true Republican unifier does not spell ideological defeat. On Wednesday, wielding his olive branch like a schoolmarm's ruler, Sen. McCain told conservatives to "calm down." My advice is exactly the opposite: Get fired up.

Lieberman, Hernandez, Kristols--pere et fils, and Giuliani are McCain's main problems right now. Dump them--and then we'll talk and lay out our demands.
BGRND Lieberman lied his way into office---he took a poll and knew pro-life votes were there for the taking. Lieberman calculatedly told religious pro-life leaders, he would be good on abortion (against pro-abortion incumbent Weicker). When Lieberman got in w/ pro-life votes, he showed his true colors, becoming the Senate's most ardent abortion facilitator---voting six separate times for p/b abortion.
The Kristols are cheerleasers for the current admin's most destructive polices including the failed amnesty provisions.
McCAIN SUPPORTS AMNESTY'S $2.6 TRILLION TAX BILL. Illegals poverty level is roughly double native-born Americans which means they suckup mucho tax-paid benefits. Lax evidentiary standards would encourage millions more to apply for amnesty fraudulently. There is no numeric limit on the number of amnesties granted; actual numbers could be far higher. Iillegals and family members get same benefits as US citizens. Children born here to illegals, including Z visa holders, are eligible for all welfare benefits from birth to death. Adult Z visa holders and their foreign-born children are eligible for medical care under Medicaid Disproportionate Share Program. Z visa holders get valid SS #'s--and eligibility for EITC and Additional Child Tax Credit--which also provide cash welfare assistance. No matter employment history, amnesty recipients are eligible for 60 different federal welfare programs five years after legal permanent residence. At retirement, total benefits OUTSTRIP TAXES PAID BY ROUGHLY 7-1. Read more at heritage.org
The presence of Juan Hernandez in the background of the McCain campaign tells us that John McCain is as weak on border security now as he ever was. Dr. Juan Hernandez, a dual citizen of the US and Mexico, and past member of Vicente Foxs Mexican government.....Hernandez is as open borders as you can get.
McCain should explain to conservatives Arizona's federal and state funding for the facilitation of border-crossing via the Arizona-Mexico Commission, and the Border Infrastructure Project implemented in collaboration with federal, state and local government agencies........that's OUR tax dollars. --SNIP-- FROM THE ARIZONA-MEXICO COMMISSION WEB SITE http://www.azmc.org/

I am voting 3rd or write-in so they can see I am not on board.

Again Michelle The Great gets it spot on. We do need to concentrate on our Congressional and local elections
A strong conservative turnout for them, with an utter repudiation of McLame...will do wonders

It might have helped if she had gotten behind someone like Fred, but I guess she was too busy bad mouthing him to do so.

Did you see that Hannity had Charles Keating on his show as a McCain spokesperson? It doesn’t sound like McCain is very serious about convincing conservatives.

We will not be electing a Conservative POTUS, so we now need to fight to elect Conservatives to the House and Senate.

My family and I will vote 3rd party. If McCain is nominated, it shows we have a one party system. Democrats gave us Kerry - the one most likely to lose. Now GOP returns the favor with McCain, someone who appears to have mental and physical health problems and will make Hillary look relatively normal by comparison.
Hillary still has the problem of looking manic or like a fish with her bug eyes and her mouth stretched wide open in a "deer in the headlights" expression. But she might be able to get that under control easier than McCain with his hysterical fits and sociopathic lies.

From the words of Thomas Paine in "Common Sense":
The Sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. 'Tis not the affair of a City, a County, a Province, or a Kingdom; but of a Continent of at least one-eighth part of the habitable Globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed-time of Continental union, faith and honour. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; the wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity read in it full grown characters.
By referring the matter from argument to arms, a new era for politics is struck a new method of thinking hath arisen. All plans, proposals, &c. prior to the nineteenth of April, i.e. to the commencement of hostilities, are like the almanacks of the last year; which tho' proper then, are superseded and useless now. Whatever was advanced by the advocates on either side of the question then, terminated in one and the same point, viz. a union with Great Britain; the only difference between the parties was the method of effecting it; the one proposing force, the other friendship; but it hath so far happened that the first hath failed, and the second hath withdrawn her influence.
As much hath been said of the advantages of reconciliation, which, like an agreeable dream, hath passed away and left us as we were, it is but right that we should examine the contrary side of the argument, and enquire into some of the many material injuries which these Colonies sustain, and always will sustain, by being connected with and dependent on Great Britain. To examine that connection and dependence, on the principles of nature and common sense, to see what we have to trust to, if separated, and what we are to expect, if dependent.
I have heard it asserted by some, that as America has flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat, or that the first twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty. But even this is admitting more than is true; for I answer roundly that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power taken any notice of her. The commerce by which she hath enriched herself are the necessaries of life, and will always have a market while eating is the custom of Europe.
IOW, reconciliation has been tried and has failed. Reconciliation with those who view themselves as NOBLES is not the direction that we should go. We should choose to UNITE and to Declare Independence from those Noble Republicans who have much disdain for us.
