How About the Conservatives Learning Something from McCain?

If the Republican party is only a big tent coalition as long as the hard right gets its way, then every libertarian-minded Republican voter has been played for a chump.

I voted for Bush twice, even though I never liked him. I voted for Dick Mountjoy, whose hand I would not shake if offered it. I voted for Bill Jones. If you want to sell out McCain because he doesn’t hate Mexicans enough, so be it, but don’t come looking for me when you want a broad coalition to stop gay marriage. If we’re not all in this together, that goes both ways.
