Hurray for Hannity?

No free pass for Bush. Dole deal. Weiss guy. Plus more.
p> STUPID PRINCIPLES br> Re: Jeffrey Lord's Sean Hannity is Right : /p> p>And so is Jeffery Lord....he nails it. br> -- Jim Karr br> Blue Springs, Missouri /p> p> Well, I thought about it and call me stupid. I am self-identified conservative Republican who joyfully voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984. I will also joyfully vote for John McCain comes November, not because he shares all principles cherished by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, but because given the choice between McCain, Obama, and Clinton, I will select the candidate who in my opinion will best serve the interests of this country and its citizens. I also know that since Ronald Reagan is unlikely to rise from the dead and run for office, I am left with few options. Speaking as a conservative Republican, I can not see how helping put a liberal Democratic administration in place, perhaps for the next decade, can be viewed as a blessing in disguise. Perhaps that outcome will rejuvenate the Conservative movement, but will the price be losing the war in Iraq, appointment of liberal justices, and cosmic growth of government? If you fight for certain principles because you believe that a conservative philosophy represents the best course for the country, then the choice in the coming election appears stark. To rigidly defend a few principles while abandoning others is senseless. Yes, I thought about and will choose pragmatism over fanaticism. If Sean Hannity is right, then I am proud to be wrong. br> -- Peter Killie br> Ridgefield, Connecticut
