Bill Dyer has, as usual, a well-thought-out and insightful post up, this time concerning Republicans, conservatives and their relationship with John McCain. Bill has articulated exactly how I feel about the upcoming Presidential election, but haven't been able to put it into words.

Here's my bottom line for those of you who say you can never vote for McCain for President: if you think there's no difference between McCain and Clinton/Obama in our war against Islamic extremists, you're dead wrong. If you think the US will be better off with Obillary as President than with McCain, you're dead wrong.

And, quite frankly, those of you who express the sentiment along the lines of "I'd rather get stabbed in the front by a Democrat than in the back by a Republican" are just being foolish. Sorry if that's a little harsh, but as your friend, I have to tell you the truth. :)

Oh yeah, one more thing: where did the idea that Romney is conservative come from? In the context of Massachusetts, yeah, he's conservative. But compared to any of the current or former Presidential candidates this cycle, the only man he's to the right of is Rudy Giuliani. Vote for Romney if you want, but don't do it because he's a conservative, 'cause he ain't.
