He has just recently reversed his stance on off-shore drilling and still opposed opening ANWAR.Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614196449493651457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861153.post-61125426015775642622008-06-18T08:28:00.000-05:002008-06-18T08:28:00.000-05:00I agree.

But I disagree that he is not a conservative. McCain may be many things that I dislike, but spineless is not one of them. One of the reasons conservatives dislike him so much is that he refuses to bow to them when he disagrees. But he refuses to bow to the Left when he disagrees with them too. He's wrong on immigration, but has promised not to implement his program until we have complete border control. He's wrong on campaign-finance. Other than that, I think all of his positions are conservative, even the ones I disagree with. Unlike any of our other candidates (besides Huckabee and Paul), McCain is solid on life issues. He's solid on judges. He's solid on the war. He's solid on fiscal responsibility. He's solid on corruption. He's solid on energy independence. He's solid on religious liberties. Yes, he's even solid on border security. He's a solid candidate on every issue of importance.Edmund de Troishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400075215020038121noreply@blogger.com
