Toward the end of his speech, after promising to prevent Iran from possessing, “…the weapons to advance their malevolent ambitions,” McCain promised to remain the maverick he has always been. He said:
“We have had a few disagreements, and none of us will pretend that we won't continue to have a few. But even in disagreement, especially in disagreement, I will seek the counsel of my fellow conservatives. If I am convinced my judgment is in error, I will correct it. And if I stand by my position, even after benefit of your counsel, I hope you will not lose sight of the far more numerous occasions when we are in complete accord.”
This is vintage McCain. He promises to hear, not to listen. He promises to seek counsel, but not to respect it. -- Jed Babbin
"I don't think it's enough to say you were a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. I think the question is 'what have you been doing for conservatism lately?'" -- Laura Ingraham, delivering a message to John McCain while introducing Romney at CPAC
News item: Washington, D.C. - Following a solid McCain victory in the Super Tuesday primaries, the Libertarian Party has sent Republican headquarters a funeral wreath marking the death of limited-government values within the Republican Party. -- Libertarian Press Release, Feb 6th
I wasn't too sure myself whether Romney was even a conservative; the fact that he looked that way when compared to the others in the race should not be lost on those watching. I'm quite certain he will be back in the race as a Republican in 2012. As for this year, it remains to be see which of the last four (-- maybe we should call two of them them RINOcrats just so the news media can continue to call it an election). The only choice left is for those who make their judgments based on appearances, and not policies.
