I’m not ecstatic about McCain either.
In fact I’ve had to hold my nose every election since RR and vote for the GOP candidate for POTUS.
But like I’ve said many times “It’s a lot easier to turn McCain to the Right than Obama or Clinton.”
At least McCain will not “cut & run” out of Iraq & Afghanistan and he will appoint conservative judges to the courts.

LOL, statements so against the facts of what McCain has done and who he has supported, used to be called:
HOG WASH.
You vote McCain and 1 yr into his adm you will explaining away his support of Global warming taxes, No tax breaks for the rich and on and on ..
You are a tool of the GOP and don’t even know it:
Joe Stalin’s “Useful idiots” apply.

I doubt anybody will be turning McCain to the right. As soon as he's in power, he'll be doing some more of his standard reaching out to the left. This time, there will be nobody to minimize just how far to the left he reaches.

I actually think that having a Dem, especially one known to be ultra-liberal, will be a benefit to conservatism. The conservatives in the congress will oppose them - and even the RINOs. However, the RINOs will be following McCain just as they followed Bush.

And as far as SC goes - McCain has given no evidence to show he would appoint conservatives. He voted for Ginsburg AND said Alito would be unacceptable because he wore his conservatism on his sleeve. Those aren't the actions/statements of one that will help our cause.

WOT - fighting a war overseas while keeping our borders wide open and having tens of millions of unknowns in the country is foolishness. We are doing our best to secure Iraq's borders - but not our own. Even after we've been attacked. I'd be all for the war IF our borders were secured on 9/12. We have left ourselves vulnerable, all for the sake of 'profit'.

Sometimes, there just isn't a good answer. McCain certainly isn't it. I realize the tendency to want to have a party/candidate to back and get involved and hope. But when hope that the candidate will change is all we have - it's not nearly enough! Supporting McCain, IMO, means supporting the status quo and supporting the GOP's move to the left. Look are far we've gone left in so short a time. We settled for Bush and got McCain. Who's next? Who could possibly be worse than McCain? Kennedy (R) ?
