McCain’s a globalist as much as any other candidate. Some minor differences, but we’re still heading to the same destination.

I guess Brit thinks there’s a big difference in the overall outcome. So we go over the cliff at 55 MPH instead of 100. Whoop de doo.

Now all of the "Principled Conservative Thumb-suckers" will decry Hume as a RINO or traitor.

There is no satisfying these children!

McCain=Amnesty=Destruction of this country as we know it. There is not a dime's worth of difference between McCain, Obama, or Hillary on this issue. If amnesty is passed. everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I for one will not vote for McCain and be complicit in the destruction of this country.

...little bit heterodox...

Small vocabulary here.

Does heterodox mean amnesty?

From an earlier post

What’s more, Ann Coulter and Tom DeLay aren’t entirely wrong when they bluster that a vote for Mr. McCain amounts to a vote for Hillary Clinton (or, for that matter, Barack Obama). The Arizona senator’s otherwise conservative record is closer to the Democrats on immigration, campaign-finance reform, stem-cell research, global warming, oil drilling in Alaska, waterboarding, Gitmo and, until a recent flip-flop, the Bush tax cuts. In The New Republic, Jonathan Chait concluded that Mr. McCain’s Senate votes made him “the most effective advocate of the Democratic agenda in Washington” during the first Bush term.

Stick it Humme

When the choice is McCain or Obama? Why would any true conservative be so prideful and dumb and allow Obama to win? We may never get the perfect candidate because I believe the country has to some point lost their soul! A man like Duncan Hunter would have been great but nobody cared about him. I would vote for just about anybody over Obama,he scares the hell out of me and what he can do to our beloved country.

You will get amnesty with liberal conservative John McCain.

All 18-25 illegals will soon be discovered to be mothers of soldiers serving in Iraq that he won’t deport. Even the ones named Jose and Carlos.

Lay off McCain? NO!

McCain is a Jerk and an ingrate Rino. He deserves all the criticism. Even if Conservatives are nice to him he craps on them at every opportunity. The latest incident with Cunningham is typical.

> Way too much at stake for our country to have eight years of a socialist.

I don’t think a ‘Rat rule would last more than 4 years.

Listen: I am probably going to hold my nose this election cycle and do as the RNC and Brit Hume want us to - Bend over. Suck it up. Vote for Juan McCain and puke on the way home. But I won’t SHUT UP. And the RNC, Brit and other power-besotted RINOs who hate conservatives can bite me if that’s what they want.

McAmnesty “might not be what we wanted?” The lesser of two evils is...

Hume isn’t a conservative, so he should keep his RINO trap shut. As for Kristol, he sold conservatives out many years ago. His father was a neocon, and he’s a neocon. What’s most irritating about Kristol is, the MNM give him a forum as though he represents US when in fact he’s the very vile thing we loathe and detest. I think they have him on their shows just to annoy us. Kristol is everything that is wrong with the GOP—arrogant, self-righteous and so forth. Come to think of it, so is McLame...

Hume has it right, McCain might not be what we wanted but he dang sure is better than the alternative and this is not the time for us to make a statement to the Republican party. Way too much at stake for our country to have eight years of a socialist.

and I say again -

Right.

Time to put our inflated egos in our back pockets and sit on it.

"We stand together or we fall apart" mt

We stop the infighting or get ready to be surfs under Socialist/Marxist rule.

What Britt doesn’t seem to understand is that if McCain moves further to the Left during the general election, he will just be rubbing salt into the wounds of Conservatives, which will just disaffect them more. McCain is a dead man walking.
