Michelle Malkin rages on the subject of McCain winning Flordia and by extension, the nomination. She reprints emails from readers on the theme of “I will never vote for McCain”.
Along with Michelle, other conservatives are piling on McCain.
One of the constant themes is that McCain is no better than Hillary! or Obama. I can certainly see the truth in that. I completely agree if the word “domestic” is there. Amnesty, taxes, free speech, and global warming are areas that there isn’t a lick of difference between McCain and the Democrats.
Senator McCain differs from the Democrat contenders in one very important way. He would certainly NOT be pulling out of Iraq ASAP.
If the choice in November is between McCain and Hillary!, the country is in for a rocky 4 years on the domestic side. If McCain wins we might all be unemployed, speaking broken Spanish, and needing (*gulp*) government provided health care, but we would have a much better chance of avoiding mandatory prayers 5 times a day facing Mecca.
Thank about that while you contemplate staying home on election day.
UPDATE: CraigC at protein wisdom makes the same points, except better. At least I was first…
I believe the Conservative Union gives McCain a lifetime rating of 84%. As much as I dislike him he is far better than any of the Democrat contenders. I don’t see his domestic policies being that much worse than President Bush. I have been exasperated by those but still consider him a good President on balance. Those who go home saying there is no difference are deserting there country in it’s time of need, and in the face of the enemy. I am not big on party loyalty but none of the Democratic contenders can be trusted with adult responsibilities.
I hope for better but will vote for him if he gets the nomination. I voted for Dole and McCain is probably better than that.
