Obviously, if party loyalty was my be all end all, I would vote for McCain. It isn’t and I won’t.
You can decry him over immigration, but you have to decry Bush too. They are one.
You can lament the fact that there are any men in politics at all, who are not all true blue conservative - but it is whistling dixie.
You McCainiacs are just like the conservative members of the GOP who are sent to Washington to represent the heartland and then abandon their principles so the WaPo and NYT will love them. You'd rather jettison your principles in the hope that George and Laura will send you a Christmas card instead of fighting for what is right. You'll go along to get along. You even use the same language The WaPo and NYT does to praise GOP congressmen who've betrayed their values. "They've grown in office." "They've come to see the bigger picture."
When you tell us to see the bigger picture, what you're really saying is, "Shut up and sit down. Be a good boy and we'll give you more of the same crap we've been giving you for the last seven years" or "Yes, John McCain is a senile, psychotic mediocrity but Hillary is worse".
Well, this time around, I'm not buying the same old tripe.
