I have to agree with you. The atmosphere on the Republican side is getting almost as bad as the demoncrat party was in 1968. If we want a more conservative candidate in the primary election, we just have to work harder and plan better. I mean, we(well, I am a conservative but have voted Republican for many years) sure taught the Republicans a lesson in ‘92 and allowed Clinton to take office for eight long years, didn’t we?

I also see that some of the stuff posted against McCain doesn’t stand up under scrutiny. One thing I keep hearing is that he voted against Bush’s tax cuts twice. Well, if you post that you’r only telling half the truth. Turns out that yes, he did vote against the cuts. Reason being, the tax cuts weren’t balanced by an equal cut in govt. programs. Quite a reasonable viewpoint, actually. From what I read, McCain is quite the fan of reducing Govt. spending. I do like that.

I don’t agree with all of his positions, but do agree with many of them. I will be voting for McCain in the primary this coming Tuesday even though he wasn’t my first choice (Fred Thompson was). I think that if we reject the Republicans now, the only message we will be sending them is that they need to become more liberal to get the votes (even though the libs. will never vote for a Republican).

Oh, yes. Then there are the Supreme Court Nominees...

No offense, but why would you assume that McLame would select anything other than a Judicial Nominee that Kennedy and his ilk would approve of? At least if the hildabeast or obama get in, we'll likely be able to get people off their lazy a&*es and vote in a more conservative Congress...

Not to belarbor the point, but McLame has done NOTHING positive for either the Republican party or Conservatives in general for at least the last 10 years - why do you think he'd start now?
