How Do Conservatives View McCain

Well, it looks like John McCain will be the presidential nominee for the Republican Party. Mike Huckabee is hanging in there, but he does not really have a shot. Many true conservatives do not like McCain, and for good reason: He is not a conservative!! He co-sponsored the McCain-Feingold bill, which puts limits on free speech during an election. He attacks Republicans any chance he gets. He loves the liberal media fawning all over him, and so often goes against his party to get those rave reviews from the New York Times, etc. He believes in global warming, and wants to use goverment restrictions and regulations to enforce lifestyle and economic changes that would hurt the average American, but probably would not do much about global warming. In short, McCain is a liberal in Republican clothing. It should be interesting to see what happens over the next several months. McCain is good at attracting Democrats and independents. But will he get the Republican base? Will conservatives hold their noses in November and vote for him anyway? Anyone is better than Hillary or Obama, right? We shall see.
