Entry: Rage Against the McCain Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/two_cheers_for_the_anti_mccainites#16486 Post contents: @mc brown: A vibrant and principled rightwing opposition to Obama or Clinton would be preferable to a castrated or phony right led by McCain. Other than fighting wars, McCain has no passion for conservatism and probably ceased being a conservative a decade ago. McCain also has made has made a name for himself by screwing the right. This is why the establishment media love the guy, and I do not see this changing if McCain gets tothe presidency. McCain also knows by that he has a clear path to the nomination with or without Rush Limbaugh's blessing as McCain's base are independents, liberal Republicans, and the New York Times. Furthermore, in a primary, conservative activists play a much bigger role. But what happens when McCain gets to the general election? McCain will move substantially to the left, in the direction of his pal and possible VP, Joe Lieberman, because where is the right going to go? This is why Dr. Paul really should consider running third party in the general election. Rightwingers will want an alternative to McCain. Dr. Paul would be well positioned to get their votes, and their might be many surprises along the way (e.g., see Ann Coulter above). Sent at: 2008 10 11
