McCain - Liberal endorsed (Lieberman, news rags), RINO approved.
He sure is racking up the ‘establishment’ non-conservative endorsements.
What wins him such plaudits? His signing up for Goronic CO2 cap-and-trade and globaloney fears? His work at undercutting conservatives on Judges (gang of 14), taxes (voting against Bush tax cuts), regulation (CFR), immigration (McCain-Kennedy “amnesty aint amnesty”)? Or his years of sucking up to the media at a cost of conservatives?
Except for budget/spending, where he is solid, McCain has had a very bad habit of joining liberal Democrats on key issue after key issue, and poking the finger in the eyes of conservatives. The number 1 issue where McCain is dreadfully wrong is immigration, but CFR is perhaps the worst bill in the past 10 years, and the #1 reason it passed is John McCain.
Fine if he’s running for “centrist senior statesman”, but these endorsements practically scream out - “thank God we can endorse a RINO.”
” we also address our words particularly to those millions of independent voters here, in New Hampshire and around the nation who can choose to cast their ballot in either party primary.” ....
Translation: INDEPENDENTS, PLEASE F*** WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BY VOTING MCCAIN. THAT’LL SHOW SHOW EVIIIL CONSERVATIVES. LEAVE THE DEMOCRATS ALONE THIS YEAR.
