You will have to ask THEM why they would pick a pro-illegal immigrant candidate, who supports Roe v. Wade, was one of the Keating 5, who always has had a Liberal spending policy, and who voted both times against the Bush tax cuts. Could be that Coburn, Lott, and Kemp care more that a Republican wins, even a Liberal one, than supporting a Conservative. If that is the case, then Liberalism has corrupted them, as it has corrupted most Republicans.

Perhaps the same reason that a supposed "Very conservative" poster is supporting him...they are more worried about winning then conservative principles. They're more worried about the game, then what's best for the country.

Wrong McCain is strongly pro life and you know it.......Saying he is pro choice does not make it so.............

There are many more strong conservatives that support McCain too...

Re: The American Conservative Magazine Endorses Ron Paul for President

Is it weird that I could feel fine voting for either McCain or Paul, but not Romney or Huckabee?

Actually, on Roe v. Wade, you and I are both right. McCain has said he supports it, and he has also said, at the same time, he was against it.

Will McCain work to overturn Roe v. Wade if elected? It depends on which McCain shows up for work after the election, if he wins. Judging that his most recent "I am against it" statement is coincident with his running for election, he is lying, and you are the sheep who is buying it.

But nutty.

On the other hand, Mitt Romney is sensible AND principled.

One would immediately conclude that you were biased against those who were at all open about their religion or those whose religions were made the focus of attention.

It would be like your running for dog catcher in Berkeley, for example, and having your opponents or the press focus on your service in the Marine Corps when there was so much else which defined you, your qualifications and your candidacy.

And though you might be the very best dog catcher Berkeley had ever seen and though you might be EXACTLY what those crazy liberal wackos was looking for, it would be a shame that they would deny you the job just because you had been a Devil Dog.

I think that is called bigotry.

Word Tutor: bigotry

IN BRIEF: The state of mind of a narrow-minded person who is intolerant of beliefs other than his or her own.
bigotry: Definition, Synonyms and Much More from Answers.com

Only you know if that would apply to why you couldn't support Romney or Huckabee.

And though it's also true that both Paul and McCain served in the military and the other two didn't, you couldn't use that as a rationale unless you ONLY voted for candidates who had served in the military and I doubt that is the case.

But again, only you can know for sure.

Actually, I WAS a fan of Huckabee until he said that we need to change the Constitution for Jesus. That was it for me. Just as the Bible is the written word of God, our Constitution is the written word of the United States of America, and should NEVER be tampered with.

How about this:

Dignity & the Sanctity of Life


Overturning Roe v. Wade


John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states


John McCain 2008 - John McCain for President
