Romney is a liberal.

McCain is a liberal.

Huckabee is a liberal.

There is no conservative left running for the Republicans other than Paul, but he has his idiotic isolationist plank to steer me away from him.

[Hattie]

McCain started doing really liberal things after his loss in 2000. Bitterness perhaps.

That said, comparing he and Mitt, I see a difference. Mitt as a Republican Governor was forced by a liberal legislature, liberal judges and liberal voters to have some liberal actions or leave office. In several case, he used the veto pen.

McCain, on the other hand, has had no reason to choose to join the liberal leagues on bill after bill, newscast after newscast, and thus damage greatly both conservative principles and constitutional principles. One can only wonder what his reasons are, but the result has been to garner media attention and to stick it to Bush and Republican voters.

"..other than Paul, but he has his idiotic isolationist plank.."

Some of us call that a "non-interventionist" plank.

Stange, isn't it? Ron Paul is the most conservative on all the issues, even issues the other candidates haven't even addressed, but just this one thing will keep good FReepers from supporting him.

Have you ever considered the possibility that Ron Paul is correct on this one too?
