Do you forget that McCain has to run against the Democrats AND the drive by media?
Most reasonable Americans will see McCain as taking the high road and that will help him.
Further, the tenor of attacks directed at McCain on this board are truly disappointing. He will be the nominee and we need to support him. No one can reasonably argue that Obama and Clinton would be good for this country. Think about this: McCain supported Bork, Thomas, Scalia, Roberts, and Alito. This support should alone make a reasonable conservative support McCain. The next President will probably get at least 2 appointments. McCain gives us the best opportunity to maintain the conservative momentum on the highest court.
There it is again... "the high road." Must be the new talking point of the day.
Attentive Americans will see McCain as a two-faced manipulative scumbag that sets up his conservative supporters to do his dirty work, then stabs them in the back to try to make himself look more palatable. His hate for conservatives is becoming even more obvious.
Bottom line: The man will double-cross anyone in his path to power. I don't trust this man.
I didn't realize I was responding to your first and only post. Welcome to Free Republic.
Might I suggest you read the following:
Statement by the founder of Free Republic(snip)
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
That said, I will point out that McCain is doing everything possible to destroy the conservative momentum. You don't win the game when your quarterback is secretly playin' for the other team. Schwarzenegger proves it for us Californians, almost daily.
