May 12, 200421 yr He names a few others. McCain is a rare politician that would be equally uncomfortable in either party. He's a conservative Democrat or a Liberl Republican, either way, I would vote for him over either of our choices today. He could have been a deciding factor for either candidate if they had asked him to be veep.
May 12, 200421 yr He won't run w/ Kerry as he already said and Bush and he don't get along after Rove's shenanigans to get Bush the nod and McCain doesn't agree w/ Bush's policies much at all since McCain is a real conservative and Bush is a neo-con thug.

You never cease to amaze me APU. Who the hell are you to judge what a "real" conservative is anyway? Being as far out on the left as you are you'd probably say Jesse Jackson is a freeking conservative.

Real conservatives are for smaller government, an end to the nanny state, increased personal freedoms, lack of government involvement in peoples' lives. Increasing the size of government 43%, increasing govt initiatives like corporate welfare etc. to increase the teats of the ineffective nanny state, the PATRIOT Act decreasing personal freedoms ie http://www.hillnews.com/news/051204/patriot.aspx "Presidential push fails to quell GOP fear of Patriot Act", increasing the drug war and starting it hardcore under Reagan etc. I think real conservatives are Libertarians and not the shills that the Republican party has become.

Nuke, you've been quick to label what a liberal thinks, or have you forgotten According to most liberals those people who have money and a warm place to sleep are the reason that other people are homeless. They believe that life is a zero-sum-game and that even the most modest of the haves are evil oppressors of the have-nots. :headshake
May 12, 200421 yr Mark this down. I agree! I agree minus the real conservatives are libertarians argument. I like McCain, but I think he's too outspoken to ever become president.
