Now that John McCain seems to be the inevitable nominee for president,
the only reason some conservatives still faintly support the
Republican Party is that it is the lesser of two evils.

But that is becoming less and less sufficient.  True, the prospect of
a Clinton or Obama presidency should scare the hooey out of any
thinking person.  It scares me.

But on the other hand, if we're going to have a Democrat president,
let him (John McCain, that is) join the Democrat Party.

McCain was warned long ago that all of his attractions to the left
would be rewarded with kudos to him--- but only just long enough to
set him up as the Trojan horse candidate inside the Republican party.

Now that he's the presumed nominee, the New York Times wasted not a
moment in turning on him with sociopathic cold bloodedness, venting
every available accusation, no matter how ridiculous, in his
direction.  And that's only the start.

Conservatives regard government as our agent, not our master, an
agency to do our bidding as a free and independent people, not as our
master.

Conservatives are basically libertarians who recognize that an immoral
society will destroy itself.

Liberals are basically libertarians who demand the right to do
anything they wish, but at other people's expense.

Hopefully, McCain's citizenship issue will prevent him from being the
nominee before the RNC, and a real conservative will be nominated. A
man can dream.
