For those of you who think McCain is a good pro-life conservative here are some articles to digest:
From the National Right to Life Committee:
McCain Makes Conflicting Statements on Abortion
From Slate Magazine:
The Closet McCain – Psst … he’s not really a conservative.
And then there’s the temper:
Here’s another right wing rant against McCain
When a liberal friend of mine (who’s voting for Hillary) stated early on she thought McCain would be the Republican nominee she was just reiterating what the liberal media thinks Republicans would choose. She obviously has no idea the bad taste that McCain leaves in a lot of conservatives mouths.
Having said that, I would probably grit my teeth and vote for him if he was the nominee. He probably would do the right thing in the end on at least the prolife issue. I just don’t think he’s going to make it. And the conservatives won’t come out for him – and no Republican is going to win against a half-way decent opponent (read Obama) unless there’s an energized base. Like it or not the conservatives (and mostly religious) are the energized base of the Republican party that make the difference on election day. The ones who make the phone calls, get the people to the polls, etc. Not just the ones who pull the lever on voting day.
