Something that many in the GOP seem to not understand.
I like the title of that article that was posted on FR: “John McCain: He’s always there when he needs us.”
Just went to a meeting in Houston last night where Tom DeLay was a speaker. He does not seem to think McCain is a conservative.
CITIZENS FOR A CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY
His stance on immigration is; at least for me. He could be a conservative knight in shining armor, and I wouldn't consider him because of how he's handled the immigration problem. It sucks, and so does he.
Sorry. McCain “detested” me first.
Amnesty for illegals, and especially the way he handled it, was the absolute deal-breaker for me.
I will never vote for the man...even in the face of Hillary.
Vietnam Veterans are now uniting against McCain. Check it out at:

Just what I have been saying over and over and over and over here on FR. I am no longer holding my nose. I am no longer voting the lesser of evils. I am done with it. I am voting my beliefs. I am voting for what I am, what I stand for, what my life and soul are. I will not lose my soul again. No more RINOs. I've never voted for a Marxists Dimocrat, so no worries. I simply, for the first time in my entire adult life, will not vote. I refuse too vote for McCain, Rumney, the Hulkster, Hillary or Obama. Vote for one, you get them all in my opinion. So, a man without a party, stays home. (Oh, and those who wish to flame me for my beliefs, go ahead and waste your time posting, for I will not respond to your hate of my stance.)
“Why, many talking heads marvel, are conservatives ambushing their only real shot at a general election victory in November?”
Talking heads who say McCain is the best shot to win the general election, and newspaper writers who repeat it, are just using a cheap and cowardly tactic to promote their favored candidate, whether their real aim is promote the candidate they think is most likely to win, or most likely to lose.
And all the polls matching various Republican and Democrat possibilities for next November’s general election are a complete joke. President Dukakis had a 17 point lead over GHWB after the Dem. convention in 1988. These polls mean nothing. Only after the two candidates are nominated, and people begin to compare them, and watch them in campaign events and debates do polls for the November vote mean anything. And then we can still have a Dukakis in the tank moment that turns the polls upside down.
McAmnesty is beyond inconsistent. Look at his record not what he says!!!!....and for him to say he stood shoulder to shoulder with Ronald Reagan!....Please!....You are a “I’ll say anything for your vote whore!”
The amnesty/illegal issues are enough for me to not vote for McCain. We won’t have a country if he’s elected.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Tammy Bruce, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, those are the ones I know of who are against McCain. Anyone other talk radio host against McCain?
Rwal conservatives aren’t doing such only the loud mouthed, malcontented, I’ll take my football and go home that’ll teach em short sighted want to teach everyone a lesson don’t play well with others know it alls who are too big for their britches bad tempered spoiled brats........ .........because they aren’t true conservatives but just masquerading as conservatives but are actually socially disfuntional and like to whine.
Why, indeed? If you listened to his radio spots in California over the past few days, you'd think he was to the right of Tom Tancredo.
But the pubs think they have the right to hold a gun to your head.
The left, which encompasses most of the MSM, cannot fathom “principle over party”. They’ve never had any principles, so the concept is alien to them. Politics is a football game to them.
Good summary.
Any chance those in attendance at CPAC will turn their backs on John McCain when he speaks?
The Democrats, Liberal MSM and the punditry just love it.
The “McCainamania” that’s been going on for nearly 10 years hasn’t been about McCain as a “maverick,” attracting “centrists” or the MSM likeing McCain for president.
It’s been about marginalizing conservatives and stopping the conservative movement.
And, they finally see it happening.
No matter what happens; conservative splitting their votes, a narrow McCain victory, even a Romney victory, the MSM will trumpet the end of Conservatism as a political force in this country.
After all, if we can’t defeat our number one enemy in our party, do we even matter?
Of course, once McCain is nominated, the MSM will turn on him. Once the Conservatives are taken out, they’ll go after the RINOs.
Nothing can stand in the way of the Liberal Utopia.
