Why Not Goldwater?

In your heart... Bob Lott? Why not? Bioduels. Angry C-SPAN viewers. Plus more.
p> CONSCIENCE OF A McCAINIAC br> Re: Jeffrey Lord's Why Not Victory? : /p> p>Because John McCain is not conservative to his core. He would have to repudiate McCain/Feingold, Comprehensive Immigration Reform (he may be close) and other of his signature issues. That is too tough to do if not impossible. The man believes what he believes and has shown it, and contempt for most of us along with it. Indeed he should be himself, and perhaps his campaign will be the exception to the rule as outlined by Mr. Lord, but he can save his breath in asking for my vote and concentrate on the great Americans he seems to see everywhere across the aisle and our in the vast moderate middle of America. He doesn't need my vote if he is so right in his thinking, one thing for sure, he can count on my general election vote NOT going to a Democrat. I'll give him that much. br> -- Roger Ross br> Tomahawk, Wisconsin /p> p> I enjoyed the article, but thought it was somewhat myopic. Eisenhower won two terms as a "liberal or moderate" Republican. Goldwater got destroyed in 1964 while ideologically pure. I hope McCain is as conservative as can be. He shouldn't make undo compromises with skunks like Reid & Pelosi. But, he has it all over Hillary and Obama in many areas. br> -- Howard /p>
