The Beaver County Times, lol.
It’s easy to tell that a handful of liberal scumbags wrote this editorial. What does “diversity” have to do with my aversion to having money confiscated from me by big government under threat of jail? If “conservative purity” means I want government (ie., Democrat parasites) out of my face and out of my wallet, and means I believe that government’s job #1 is to protect national security with a strong military, then I am an “ideologue”.
Oh boy, conservatives are hysterical little children throwing a temper tantrum, kicking and screaming, what a bunch of babies, they need to just grow up and elect the person we told them to ....
News flash to all media idiots that use this tired line, it isn’t working and McCain is a lost cause that will wipe out the Republican party. If he is so great and we are so wrong then he should have no problem winning with those who admire him.
After McCain and the established Republican leaders crash and burn this election they should just remember the immortal words of Bill Clinton, “you better put some ice on that”, because the conservative base is not bending over for you this time.
“(PS — A really poor argument, that. Try again.)”
I don’t think so. What it comes down to is a very simple dichotomy. One either believes that McCain is an imperfect candidate who is nevertheless nominally on our side, and thus better than either of the two absolutely leftist candidates on the other side who share almost none of our views; or you don’t.
Zell Miller’s ACU rating in 2004 was 96, compared to McCain’s 72.
I agree with the viewpoint. But the author ignores McCain’s recent ratings on conservatism in favor of more conservative lifetime ratings.
Nor do I. And President Reagan wouldn't call a conservative someone who guts the First Amendment.
