If supporting McCain is the price of being a republican, I can do without the registration.

I am a republican conservative. Conservative by conviction, republican by convenience. I can no longer betray my own principles for the party.

This is not a mess of my making, and frankly I cannot stomach lining up for the “showers” that have been arranged for the conservative movement.

I will write in Ron Paul or even vote Hillary. I would rather a witch to a mad man.

I believe (as does John McCain) in right to life, securing the borders first, national security, and limiting spending by Congress.
 
What's not to believe there?   Sounds like conservative beliefs to me.
 
Are many Republicans looking at the glass half-empty instead of the glass half-full?  That's the sense I am talking about.

ecuring the borders first
McCain has never once voted to secure the borders. He has tried to derail every attempt to do so until mid 2007 when he put his soiled thumb in the air and realized that immigration was killing him.
McCain has voted against a bill taht would have made it easier to deport illegal aliens convicted of crimes in the US.
Ir that's national security, then Hillary is a hawk.

McCain espouses many beliefs that do not stand up to scrutiny of his actions. For instance, he has proposed government regulation of gambling, baseball, and if I recall correctly, football. He is pro-life, but doesn’t believe that overturning the Supreme Court’s decision in Row v. Wade is wise. He is pro-life, but supports embryonic stem cell research.

In 2001 and 2003, he derided and opposed the Bush tax cuts not due to concerns over accompanying spending cuts (as he now claims) but because they were “tax cuts for the rich”.

Half-empty versus half-full isn’t the issue for me. The issue the substance in the glass, not the quantity.

Have a good day, FRiend.

Don't listen to McCain's politically motivated promises of the moment: observe his actions. This is the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Hernandez is a certified traitor. Born in Dallas, he decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last "real" job was serving on Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as his "American Reconquista Director." After that gig ran out, he worked (sic) for George Soros funded internationalist foundations, like the one that published his new book.

The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA. Hernandez believes all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." He believes there should be no border at all between Mexico and the USA, ever.

And this is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." In the past week McCain was asked about this choice, and he said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions. If so, McCain is supporting invasion and reconquista.

Then I read our Constitution, Article 4 Section 4, where it says the federal government MUST protect the states from invasion, and I can only conclude one thing: John McCain is our new Benedict Arnold.
