McCain was not my candidate, he will be my candidate, when he becomes the nominee for the GOP, I am a member of the GOP, therefore; he does indeed become/is my candidate.

Those who lead with compromise are nothing but a weak link.

With the divide along party lines as it is in this country, if you think any President would dream of beginning their term without the possibility and the ability for compromise, then you are...

a. not facing reality.

b. hopelessly pig-headed.

c. mistaking your own dogma for facts.

I'll paraphrase what Brit Hume said yesterday. He said that it was unbelievable to him that now that McCain is most likely the GOP nominee, that conservatives are asking him to move further right and jump thru hoops to try and win their support. He said he would think they instead would be saying,"Do whatever you need to do to win the election. Win the election, we are with you!"

What Brit didn't realize that there are many [on the right] claiming to be so principled, so conservative, so correct in their thinking...that they WANT the GOP to lose this election.

Now that, my friend, is what a traitor is, that is what weakness is, that is what the weak link in this Big Tent GOP chain is...a person so weak they have confused their own romanticized expectations with what THEY call facts...and so selfish they cannot or without see beyond their won needs/beliefs.

See, you are going to have to look at what I actually said, not your own spin.

It is important to see what a person REALLY said before you try to refute it. In my earlier post I said that compromise had a place way down the line when you hit a brick wall and moving forward is ESSENTIAL. So the possiblity of and ability for compromise has its place. I didn't ignore that. But those who lead with compromise, who make it a first principle instead of an occasional last resort only when vitally necessary, make themselves nothing but a weak link. The opposition loves the weak link. They sing its praises and stroke its ego. Once again I state that that is the sort of compromise traitors are made of.
