It’s a safe bet that if you think Rudy is just fine as a Republican, then you probably don’t have much trouble with McCain.
Not a safe bet. As a secular laissez-faire capitalist, I saw Rudy as the only one in the field without a theocratic impulse. McCain adds to that a totalitarian impulse (cf. McCain-Feingold).
About the only thing I agree with McCain on is the issue that most others here disagree with him on — liberalized immigration.
Since Goldwater Republicans seem to have vanished from the scene, I am going to hold my nose and vote for Hillary this year in the hope that the GOP can spend its years out of power to rediscover its roots as the party of freedom. (If it’s Obama, I might just write in Thomas Jefferson.)
