Now that Romney has dropped out of the Presidential race, it looks almost certain that McCain will be the Republican nominee. How depressing. Not only is McCain not a conservative, he is very liberal in some respects. Plus, I'm not sure if he'll be able to beat Obama or Hillary in the general election. He's know for his short fuse and the harsh language he uses on a continual basis. As a good friend of mine put it... it basically boils down to a pick between "dumb and dumber." I'm afraid that if McCain wins, it will be the end of the conservative Republican movement that was started by the late, great Ronald Reagan.

Accuracy In Media recently published an editorial entitled Talk Radio Fails Conservatives. However, the truth of the matter is that it's the Republican Party that has failed conservatives, not talk-radio. For far too long, the party has been drifting towards the left of the aisle while supporting liberal Republicans and RINOS (republican in name only) like McCain. No longer is it the party of Reagan. If Reagan taught us anything, its that whenever strong conservative principles are campaigned for, we can't lose. Unfortunately, the current Republican electorate has forgotten this vital principle. Instead, they talk out of both sides of their mouths and allow the liberals to walk all over them. They are cowards and fools who care nothing about this country and care only about their own quests for power. Sound familiar? it should... for it's taken from the Democrats own play book.  The distinction between Democrats and Republicans, as far as elected officials go, is becoming increasingly null. We are ever  "inching" our way to a European influenced socialist movement in the United States. Instead of acting on our own accord for our country's own interest, we've allowed too much foreign influence into our system. George Washington himself warned against the "party" system for this very reason. 

So, will I end up voting for McCain? More than likely. better him than a true Socialist like Obama or Hillary. However, I'll be holding my nose as I push the "vote" button. McCain has a lot to do before November if he wants the conservative base to get behind his campaign and I'm not sure that hell be able to pull it off.
