Entry: Bill Keller Re-Unites GOP Coalition Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bill_keller_re_unites_gop_coalition#18082 Post contents: It is puzzling how so many cultural and religious conservatives have let McCain off the hook for his past behavior. Upon returning from Vietnam captivity, McCain engaged in several adulterous affairs, including with subordinates in the Navy. He engaged in a romantic affair with Cindy Hensley when he was still married to his first wife. His sense of romantic loyalty seems to be lax. McCain's lack of loyalty to his first wife should trouble conservatives who want McCain to be loyal to their interests in the future. Yet McCain has shown a profound lack of political loyalty to conservative ideals. This was especially shown in his hook-up with Ted Kennedy in the immigration amnesty bill of last year, a bill that would have paved the way to an intensification of the demographic revolution the US has undergone in the last forty years. A President McCain can not be trusted. He has shown a strident willingness to betray conservatives on a host of issues like immigration, free speech and taxes. And on the one issue that he appears to agree with a majority of conservatives, the occupation of Iraq, he is wrong. Sad to say, a ridiculous Obama Presidency is preferable to a catastrophic McCain Presidency. At least Obama promises to be the more amusing of the two potential presidents. Sent at: 2008 11 21
