Not one of you addressed my contention that McCain would appoint better (more conservative) people to the Supreme Court than Clinton or Obama.
The gang of 14, McCain’s history of being more willing to “cross the aisle” (it’s a short trip for McCain) than stick to principle, along with his own words don’t lead me to believe that he will be able to force anything through a Democratic Senate. I don’t see any reason to believe that he would even try.
Are you saying that you believe McCain will appoint any justices who would rule against McCain’s own laws? If not, then how conservative (or strict constructionist …) would any McCain nominee be?
No, McCain is far more likely to pick squishy justices (reflecting McCain’s own view) who would just turn awfully liberal on the bench – as is the history of squishy conservatives on the bench.
Also, McCain, who is not my first choice, has spoken out against the so-called Fairness Doctrine, a thinly veiled attempt to muzzle conservative talk show hosts.
Are you trying to say that McCain should be taken at his word? I don’t see any reason to trust McCain about anything. Have you been watching his gleeful lying over the past few weeks. He didn’t even seem aware that it was obvious to everyone. I guess that didn’t bother you at all, and you still think that McCain is still one to be trusted with his words. I do not.
Frankly, I find it extremely odd that all of the conservatives who insist they won’t vote for McCain if he gets the nomination sound exactly like liberals hoping Clinton or Obama win in a cakewalk.
Now I can see why you are taking this position on McCain. That’s his sort of rhetoric. Accuse me of “sounding like a liberal” who wants Clinton. Oooh. That hurts.
