I’m not drinking the John McCain conservative Kool-Aid. John McCain calls himself a life-long conservative. But that’s not what life-long conservatives call him. The painful truth is that McCain is really nothing more than Hillary-light.
No matter which of these quasi-liberals, John McCain, Hillary Clinton or Barrack Hussein Obama wins in November our nation is going to leap to the left over the next four years. The two major concerns for conservatives must be the ongoing war against Muslim extremists and the next Supreme Court appointments.
There are attempts already underway to use these two issues as justification for why conservatives must unite behind John McCain. Yet McCain’s past track record lends no clear indication that McCain can be trusted with these two issues any more than he can be trusted to secure our borders, protect free political speech or aggressively interrogate the only people who can tell us when and where the next 9/11 will happen.
McCain’s history is one of being better aligned with Democrats than conservatives. Even now, McCain’s message to voters is this…
“I will reach across the aisle, and work with Democrats. – Conservatives need to calm down. – I know there are things we disagree on, but we must look for things we can agree on and forget the rest…”
McCain will work across the aisle and conservatives will have to “calm down” and learn to live with that reality. Or, they will live with the reality of a Clinton-Obama era that will make Jimmy Carter look like a conservative genius.
I am not angry. I do not hate John McCain. As it stands right now, I will not vote for McCain due to the fact that he is a quasi-liberal and his pissing all over the First Amendment with McCain/Feingold. However, if he were to pick a true conservative as his Vice President, I would vote for him. I would base my change of heart on the fact that McCain is 72 and may kick the bucket (from natural causes) during his term.
And that would be definitely better than Clinton-Obama.
