John McCain is endorsed and defended by some conservatives (and Republicans) despite the fact that he has not only embraced but promoted several big-government initiatives – and he has done so proudly. He has used this strategy to, among other things, ingratiate himself with the media, which favor him for the Republican nomination. Romney is governor of a liberal state and he has embraced conservative policies and sought to implement many of them. Yet, questions arise about his fidelity to principle based on apparent past – in some cases distant past – statements/positions on abortion and homosexual rights. It seems to me that McCain has evolved from a Reagan conservative to more of a Rockefeller Republican, and Romney has evolved from a more moderate Republican to a Reagan conservative. I’m sure more will be written about this in the weeks and months ahead.
Hannity looks nicer in person

How any Republican OR Conservative, for that matter, can support McCain is Beyond my Comprehension. His general record looks more like an almost moderate Democrat than a Republican. McCain (henceforth called McLame) is the Personification of the term R.I.N.O. (Republican in NAME ONLY). I could no more vote for McLame than I could vote for Ted Kennedy.
This is exactly what I have been saying. You hit it on the head. McCain is the nemesis of the Conservative movement. Will someone dispatch this guy once and for all? He should be disqualified as a candidate. He is not even a moderate. He is like a Supreme Court justice that has gone bad. The entire summer was wasted in trying to obtain Geneva Convention and Constitutional rights for terrorists because of this guy. The President could have been appointing and confirming Federal judges but for this distraction. Bush could have better articulated his position on the war but for this distraction. It was not the Liberals I worried about. It was McCain and the rest of the seven. We never had a majority in the Senate because of this guy and his sympathetic pseudo Republican followers. Because of them some very good Senators and House members lost. They wagged the Republican majority and catalyzed a Democratic victory. Now McCain wants to do it all over again. Who needs Carter when we have McCain?
Romney has been looking pretty good for a while. When the Liberals point out his faults to us Conservatives he even looks better.
