In complete agreement. You stated exactly how we need to look at things now. Time to bite the bullet, support our Party, and go forward while bringing conservative pressure on McCain.
Yes, that has worked real well so far.........NOT!
“consertive pressure” ...meaning pressure from conservatives. I think my previous post was unclear.
“Time to bite the bullet, support our Party,”
Didn’t your mother tell you biting bullets is dangerous? As is being a party hack?
I have always said I will support the GOP nominee. So, it is now time for all of us to heartily support McCain for President in ‘08. Let us be honorable. Let us be true to our principles. Let us be vigorous. And let us be victorious.
Exactly. I think what is most needed now is (behind the scenes) quiet respectful negotiations from several of the leading real conservatives in the country, talking with John McCain in a respectful way to get him onboard..... say look, Mr. Nominee, THESE are the things that we must have to support your candidacy and to bring enough conservatives onboard. You want us to work and come out for your candidacy, we need a conservative platform that you are truly committed to. Create a new “Contract with America” that enough of us can really support.
Look, John McCain wants to win, and if the right program is put to him in the right way, without smearing him in public or disrespecting the man, I still think there could be a chance for a better ticket and platform. We need need a real conservative VP choice plus a party platform that is reasonably conservative and that McCain really commits to in every way. That’s the only hope to unite the party enough to win, and the only hope to actually get some good things done in the next 4-8 years.
The alternatives are various forms of disaster.
