Correct me if I'm wrong, ... but by Defcons, you mean defense conservatives, and by Socons, you mean social conservatives, and by Ficons, you mean financial conservatives?

Yes, those are the three pillars of Conservatism.

I'm confused how McCain can be considered pro defcon when he refuses to protect our borders. Illegal immigration can't be ignored.

I see that as a critical error in judgment as well, but the defcons primary concern is for troops in the line of fire, and the greater objective of the GWOT. As such, they are among the most vehement of McCain's supporters, as nothing else is as important to them, and they will overlook any number of flaws in an attempt to deliver a supposed warhawk as CiC.

But I don't care if Barr loses, I just can't vote for McCain, I can only vote against McCain.

I can see your position, though if another conservative is raised up, one who more perfectly fits the Reagan Coalition mold, I would ask you to change allegiance at that time, as I would rather win than block...

This decline into socialism in the Republican Party must be stopped and McCain is leading the charge towards socialism, i.e. global warming, stopping drilling in ANWR, and attacking the First Amendment with Campaign Finance Reform.

I agree absolutely. It is the most imminent threat to America.
