Thank you for your gentlemanly response. It’s a welcome relief. And this approach is far more likely to gain friends for McCain than the troll taunts I have been getting.
>> Ahhh, but I think McCain might be to the right of Bush.<<
I don’t think he is on SCOTUS nominees. Other than trying to control spending (which W finally started doing), tell me how McCain is more conservative?
I mentioned that I don’t like McCain breaking his promise already. Every time I think of pulling the McCain lever, I remember the Bushbot taunts of “You voted for him so you should have known,” when Bush was pushing amnesty. I honestly feel guilty about giving my stamp of approval to a man who is obsessed with the same despicable goal (amnesty) as Ted Kennedy.
>> With regard to illegals the only option — and I mean ONLY option — is to hope McNut wins and brings in enough conservatives on his coattails to make whatever is cooked up halfway palatable.
And that means supporting McNut.<<
We have time to think it over before November. Let’s see what McCain does.
That's pretty much about it (which is important). Don't forget Harriet Myers was Dubya's first choice for SCOTUS and he had to get his mind right -- of course when he did, wow. All expectations were surpassed.
And Dubya has hung tough on global warming whereas McCain has already caved so maybe it's a wash.
OK, Dubya has been pro ANWR drilling too but it's been eight years and we aren't going to drill.
The trick for me with McCain is not to put any emotional investment into him. I have no expectations. I am only supporting him because the alternative is so bad, and because he's said sorta right things about some issues I care about.
