The Alphabet Soup has long ago declared it for the team of John McCain, Mexico, and DhimmiRATs. With 64% of the precincts reporting, McCain’s up by just over 61,000 votes out of approximately 1.5 million. I’m too tired to unleash the required number of expletives, so instead, I’ll take the overnight to toss over just how I want to write American conservatism’s epitaph. I really could and should have done that the moment Fred Thompson was bounced from the race, but with the inevitability of spit-in-the-eye-of-conservatives McCain and the flop back to liberalist populism by Mitt Romney in his last gasp, it’s now well past time to start writing.
“Epitaph for conservatism?”
Not really. But McCain’s going to be absolutely WHOMPED in the general, even if a chipmunk runs against him.
Why vote for him?
And now the ultimate betrayal to those of us who supported Rudy’s early candidacy: he is going to endorse McCheese.
Might as well vote for Hillary.
Supporting McCain is not equivalent to supporting Hillary. Despite several moderate voting records, McCain’s overall conservative voting record has been rated at over 82%. Where do you think Hillary falls on that scale?
McCain is not for massive social welfare and he’s not for cutting tail and running out of Iraq and he’s not for higher taxes. McCain is not the death of the conservative party.
McCain is the only one still in the race that is legitimately running on a platform of smaller government by cutting spending. Either Hillary or Obama would nail us with considerably higher taxes to offset the costs of their massive social programs.
So stop comparing McCain to Hillary because they agree on a few positions like immigration.
