Republicans first, conservatives second
I know quite a few people who are actually much more conservative than John McCain who unhesitatingly say they are going to pull the lever for him. They're very status-quoish, party loyalty above all. For them he becomes the true conservative in the race by default due to the fact that Obama is so much more liberal than, well anyone including Hillary. By all means vote your conscience but I can't vote this way. Don't become a pragmatic liberal which is really a "conservative" who believes in bigger government. McCain has to talk a conservative game at this point so I can only believe his type of conservative voter believes he's being sincere but you know the old saying, "campaign from the right but rule from the center or left."

You should read Daniel's latest blog and the ensuing comments (only mine and DD2's last I checked).
ReplyDeleteDD2 embodies the party man, he irks me to no end!
To tell you the truth, I question greatly that some of those people are conservative at all.
ReplyDeleteYeah man, dd's point would hold water if the person were at least 80-90% conservative but by his own admission McCain is, at best, around 60-70% conservative I think it was.
ReplyDeleteNow can you imagine the Dems even throwing up a candidate who is only 60-70% liberal, some DINO (Democrat in Name Only)?
ReplyDelete"To tell you the truth I question greatly that some of those people are conservative at all."
ReplyDeleteOne wonders if Obama were in the Republican fold and was still a liberal would our own camp still vote for him just to beat the Democrat?
You had those anybody but Hillary people that had Obama been a Republican they would have voted for him over her.
ReplyDeletePeople are so myopic anymore.
It's gotten to the point where the Republicans are like a baseball team, doesn't matter who's up at bat just root for the guy.
