Now, how can John McCain also successfully become a true conservative, especially on the issues of: campaign finance reform (Instead, allow unlimited amounts of money donated by both individuals and groups, but under full disclosure to the general public of each and every penny, and finally end everything about it that’s truly unconstitutional!) illegal immigration (Full enforcement of all present laws, please!), full border security (for real), and on creating all “green politics” (McCain still believes in the existence of man-made global warming!) among all other issues that McCain still has serious problems with conservatives on? I’m impressed with Sarah Palin, but it’s truly still “maverick” John McCain that will be the next POTUS, if Barack Obama does successfully lose the ‘08 presidential race! All of the problems with illegal immigration will truly get much worse throughout the entire U.S., if amnesty for illegal immigration is allowed to happen, and both Barack Obama and John McCain are for amnesty for illegal immigrants! How can conservatives truly succeed in “holding McCain’s feet to the fire” on all of the issues that conservatives have problems with McCain on?
IMO, not without great difficulty. It will be no better or easier than it has been with Bush. In fact, many here who have openly been supporting McCain (pre-Palin) were strong Bush supporters and now the post-Palin Sarah fans have joined them. Those of us who worked so diligently to stop McCain's SB2611 were attacked relentlessly by Bush ‘supporters’ with ‘no-matter-what’ attitudes, i.e, don't criticize another (R). No doubt, the Palin ‘devotees’ will make the existing dissention even worse.
By the way, has Sarah revealed her position on border security/amnesty yet? McCain sounds more adamant than ever about his pro-illegal position.
He's not. Whether he ever has been is very much debatable.
But hey, according to his Freeper fanbase, he's better than the bogeyman Obama, so he must be elected.
Apologies for the sarcasm in the second paragraph.
