I am a conservative and I will be voting for McCain. Why? Because the "conservatives" have been betraying us for years so I might as well vote for an honest liberal.
I was upset with John McCain for McCain-Feingold until I remembered that BUSH signed it into law - with the pathetic "well it is not great but better than what we have now" line.
I was upset with John McCain for the gang of 14 until I remembered that such a compromise did nothing to the country really and may have simply gotten a few guys through a little faster.
I was upset with John McCain for his questioning of the pharmaceuticals until it occurred to me that if these "patriotic businesses" were so great to Americans - Canadians would be subsidizing the cost of medications for Americans and not the other way around.
During the Reagan years I was a child but I grew up believing that Reagan would have done more if Congress would have had a Republican majority.
It is my understanding that we had a golden opportunity between 2000 - 2004/06 to make "conservative" ideals understood and permanent. Where were the "conservatives" then?
