Funny how the "McCain" is conveniently dropped and "Warner" added since McCain is now the presumptive Republican nominee.  I mean, we wouldn't want to make it too easy for the conservative base to realize how unconservative McCain is, right?

Oh, and the whole "lesson" that McCain learned in the primaries from the failure of McCain-Kennedy-Bush "comprehensive" immigration "reform"?  About how he realized he should push for border security first?  Turns out, now that he's got the nomination wrapped up, he's conveniently Mr. Comprehensive again!  Shocking.

And to those who want to yell at me about "YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN OBAMA WILL BE SO MUCH WORSE..." I don't deny that Obama on the whole might in general have more bad ideas than McCain, but the point remains they are both replete with bad ideas.  The Democrats will likely continue to hold both houses of Congress.  In the Senate, if we have at least 40 Republican Senators, they can put a stop to legislation, or they can make it at least more bearable.

You have two Presidents, one with (R) next to his name, the other with (D).  Both put up pretty much the same liberal legislation, let's say the global warming "cap-and-trade" nonsense for example.  Which President is the Republican minority in the Senate going to fight harder against this legislation?  Outside of a few people like DeMint, Coburn, and Burr, how are we going to trust Republicans in the Senate to stand up to nonsensical bills from a liberal Republican  in the White House, when they didn't do it when they had a majority and a "compassionate conservative" (compassionate=big government) in the White House?

Ever think about it that way?
