Where Have All The Conservatives Gone

The Results are in and it seems The Maverick Republican John McCain has Won the Florida Primary. Though this victory may in the current environment benefit Republicans dying to avoid a Hillary Clinton Presidency, it could derail the very ideology that has defined the party since its inception. McCain is no doubt an honorable man, and first class war hero. Yet this dose not negate the damage he could do to the Republican party as President.

Lets first examine the various issues that McCain has failed the party on over the time.
  1. Placates Global Warming Alarmist

  2. Considered Running As John Kerry's Vice President

  3. Opposed Bush Tax Cuts

  4. Co-Authored McCain-Feingold

  5. McCain Kennedy Amnesty Bill

These are just a few examples. I am truly sick and tired of hearing how wonderful McCain is. Its time that Republicans understand that if the liberal social programs under Bush have them upset, then McCain is not the solution. Our next best option Mitt Romney is no prize either, but at least he will serve the people who elected him; with the Maverick who knows. We are at a critical junction in history. If the Democrats win in 2008 we should be in store for some of the biggest increases in federal power in the history of the nation. By picking McCain your ensuring that this will happen regardless of who wins.

The Republican Party is supposed to defend the constitution not repudiate it. Repeal Federal Power not grant it. Republicans need to understand that Win or Lose we must change the party or risk the crumbling of the very values we hold sacred.

Chris,

I'm not going to bother mentioning how you deal with the issues, but I actually wanted to commiserate. It'll be a sad day when I'll have to vote for Hillary Clinton, but if she's the Democratic nominee I'll probably end up voting for her as grudgingly as you'll vote for McCain. Sometime in 2007, Will Kristol (of all people...) wrote a great article about how the 2008 race is a search for RFK v. Reagan. He ended up saying that Obama is today's RFK, and Thompson is today's Reagan. It seems instead that both are settling for less as conservatives strangely nominate a centrist and as liberals nominate a Clinton.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got a lot of this post from Rush Limbaugh, whose been crying about McCain for the past month. But now that Rudy's out of the race, who are you looking to?
