If a true conservative cannot see the difference between McLame and Fred.....I pity the poor fool!
The effort last year to stop McCain’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform is becoming very clearly to be an eruption of effort that had no basis in principle. The leader of that effort, McCain, is being given a 100% pass by the right wing’s Great Right Hope, Fred Thompson.
And the guys supporting this, and watching it happen? They don’t care. They are watching him avoid attacking McCain and helping McCain put himself into a position where a GOP Senate with fewer seats next year will pass exactly what he pushed, or maybe . . . something leftward.
The right wing didn’t really care about it. They don’t care about immigration. They are supporting a candidate who won’t make the effort to stop McCain. Hell, they might as well be supporting McCain.
Astonishing, if you think the effort last year was principle rather than petulance. It it was mere petulance. If it was petulance, then it’s not surprising at all they are letting McCain be nominated.
They are both mavricks!
