And there's everything "conservative" about voting for a GOP nominee who would do the same? Oh and don't forget that McCain supports shamnesty as well.
What does McCain offer us? Nothing.
I was pretty angry about the 2006 election results, especially in the very close contests which cost us Congress, but in that sense, at least the old GOP Congress gave us some of what we wanted. McCain gives us nothing.
If the country is going to go to heck, might as well have a Democrat who does the driving. At least we can begin to make a comeback in the 2010 midterm elections and possibly take back the White House in 2012, presumably with a real conservative.
