I saw a humility and a resolve to reach across the aisle to us conservatives, when he spoke to us in Seattle Friday night.

Only someone who is not a Conservative has to reach across the aisle to Conservatives. McCain has to reach across the aisle to Conservatives to compensate walking across the aisle to the Socialist Democrats on many issues in the past. I prefer someone who has stayed on the Conservative side of the aisle all along.

What I heard was a deep love for conservatives that stood behind him way back when was a prisoner in Viet Nam. He has a deep gratitude for the conservative cause because from us came that respect for the soldiers who fight for our nation.

Is that before or after The Dream Act, McCain/Feingold, Lieberman/McCain Climate Stewardship Act , supporting embryonic stem cell research, Law Of The Sea Treaty etc..?

If siding with Socialists Democrats on issues is his and your idea of gratitude for Conservatives then I suggest you reexamine what it means to be Conservative.

Not much has been explored as to the political problems in the Senate that may have contributed to McCain’s actions as a Senator.

Passsing the buck by blaming everyone in the Senate but McCain couldn't be a more transparent method of trying to cover up the fact he chose of his own volition to oppose Conservatives many times in the past.

This is beautiful, and perfect, and I fully intend to steal it.

Just thought I ought to let you know, is all. ;)

I understand that McCain is not doing such a hot job bridging the gap between the conservatives and the moderates. Perhaps he needs to take a lesson from Ronald Reagan who had to deal with inter-party differences during his 1980 election. Can you imagine the look on the moderates face when it was publicized far and wide that Reagan was taking donations from the John Birch Society? The Democrats knew back then how to exploit such differences to disrupt party unity.

Thank God that Ronald Reagan was able to form a solid coalition between moderates and far left groups that brought him his landslide victory. If that coalition had not been built, we would have never won the Cold War.

John McCain has a similar challenge. I am hoping for the future of this nation that he can create a miracle cure on a divided party.
