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.
I don't want to keep them. I'm for pitching them overboard with the all rest of the social liberals in the GOP.
