First, no sensible person is "pro" war. However, there are times when other options run their course and it becomes a necessary evil. Second, conservatism does indeed consist of a core set of values and beliefs. It exsist outside of the boundries of any political party. You're showing your hand by the snide remarks like "I love Jesus sign in front yard". You may not be a conservative, I suspect you aren't, or like conservatism, I suspect you don't, but at least get it right. Dude, there are snide comments in nearly every post I make here. Had my comments been made about liberals I would've mentioned a drunk Ted Kennedy or given a Howard Dean "EEEEEEEEEEYAH!". Honestly, I can't stand political figures as a whole. Anyone who places PARTY over COUNTRY can't be trusted to do the right thing. I believe that people shouldn't make a career out of serving in office and maintaining an "old boys network" is haunting our country. I don't want Hillary elected because, well, she's Hillary. I'm afraid Obama doesn't have the nads to make the tough decisions. I worry about McCain because in the debates I saw, he never could explain how he'd PAY for everything he wanted to do and because he comes off (to me anyways) as the guy who would take the most amount of time in regards to Iraq. In the primary, I voted for Ron Paul. Closet liberal I am not. Sorry, I know I over reacted. Bad day. I agree with this post for sure. I just wish there was a true conservative out there. You know, one that would really cut government spending and get back to the constitutional way of governing. Huckabee is pretty close, but has no chance. W, with the exception of most social issues, has not been a true conservative, so I don't get why conservatives are suddenly appalled by McCain. W has spent more than the best democrat out there. Hillary want to take the country in the opposite direction of the way it needs to go by expanding government. Obama is much different than Hillary. I sense the rise of an effective 3rd party soon if things keep going in this direction.

Obama will not be a change that we need in Washington. He will be a change in party only. We need a change in philosophy, and a sense of duty.
John McCain is the only candidate that will bring that to the White House.
The Dems keep trying to tie McCain to Bush, but that won't happen if people will look at McCain's record. It's McCain not Obama that has the record of bucking the system, and he's done so even though it put his politcal career in peril. No way Obama will do that. He's a party man all the way.

Oh lets get real, McCain used to buck the system and go against his own party, and then W smashed him in the primaries in 2000. Since then he has strictly followed the party line because he knows it is the only way he could get the nomination from his party. He's even run the exact same campaign (Karl Rove tactics) that he denounced when W ran an extremely nasty campaign against him. Now his VP wants to insinuate that Obama hangs out with terrorists (in this day and time the word terrorist refers to muslim extremists), and his crowds at rallies show thier true colors by saying things like "off with his head" "kill him" "bomb obama", and calling him an "arab." Now that in no way means that every republican supporter is racist or condones those remarks, clearly they don't as McCain took the mic away from that lady and denounced her remarks, but you don't help matters by asking things like "who is he really?" as if he is hiding some enormous secrets from everyone.
That said, if there was a republican willing to end the war (RON PAUL!!!!!) i would vote for them. It is impossible to be a true conservative and want to cut government spending and all that, and still fund a $10 billion a month war. Where does the money come from? We can do what Bush did, double the national deficit during his tenure alone, or you can raise taxes to pay for it. McCain has made it clear he won't raise taxes, so how exactly does he want to fund this war that could last another "100 years" (he said it not me). Frankly, if we're gonna spend that money, I'd rather spend it on education, healthcare, alternative energy, or even finding bin laden for god's sake.

The Republican Party, to which I belong, has not had a true conservative run for president since Reagan. I don't know where exactly the party is headed, but I do know that conservatism has, for the most part, been abandoned.

Sen. McCain is no candidate to write home about or to rally behind. But, given the choice between the two candidates, I'm voting republican.
I didn't risk my life, serving my country in the Gulf War to elect a Commander In Chief named Hussein?
