This story is from the NY Times. McCain should remember the Times. He was gushing and so flattered that they endorsed him back in January. Imagine that... a Republican who is happy that the NY Times endorsed them. Bizarre.
This story points out the real problems McCain has in trying to get Conservatives to vote for him. His problem is... well, he is not a Conservative. In fact, he has flirted with switching parties to the Democrats after the 2000 election and he flirted with becoming John Kerry's running mate in 2004.
As a Conservative who has voted for Republican Presidential candidates since I was a college student in 1988, I believe that I have pretty good cause to say that I am flabbergasted at McCain's nomination on the Republican ticket. I have towed the line with this party which I used to identify with. However, as this story makes clear, the Republican party has now put forth a candidate who is not like me. In other words, he is not Conservative like me.
It takes a lot of gall for McCain to stand before a television camera and profess to be Conservative when it is clear that he is about as Conservative as Hillary Clinton.
I don't believe in "voting for the lesser of evils". I vote for a candidate who is a close match to my beliefs in regard to Conservative principals. If there is not one, then why would I vote for a candidate who does not share my beliefs?
For the first time since I began voting in 1988, I will NOT vote for a Republican candidate in the Presidential election. I will be voting for a third party candidate or I will write in a choice.
McCain the gun-grabber? No ****ing way!
