[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Liberals don't hate all conservatives. They enjoy the company of fence straddling conservatives like John McCain. As long as you don't hold to conservative social beliefs the Left will offer an oily smile and extend a greasy hand of fiendship.

There are more than a few FReepers who are at home with the Left on social issues. I have a label for these types, but conservative isn't one of them.

And I think you're wrong in labelling McCain as a conservative. "Opportunist" is a more fitting description. Apparently, Mr. Lugar, of Indiana also fits that bill, although he is a tad less vocal. And Mr. Hagel, is the cheerleader for the group. You can keep them all, in my opinion.
