In case you missed it, here are the highlights of Johnny Mac's agenda for his putative administration, according to his speech at CPAC yesterday...--Continue to carry the fight to the Islamic radicals and goons wherever we can get to them.
--Close the borders .. tight .. before any consideration is given as to what to do with the illegals who are already here.
--Not sign a bill with earmarks in it. ANY earmarks in it.
--Reduce the size of government.
--Not allow the expansion of entitlement programs
--Make the Bush tax cuts permanent
--Cut corporate tax rates.
--End AMT (alternative minimum tax)
--Develop free market solutions for health care, and respect for the right of free individuals to make choices for themselves.
Actually, that's not bad, not bad at all. Clearly he's tacking rightward to win over us conservatives who don't trust him. The question is will he follow through with the promises once he gets in office? If he sticks to this platform during the campaign, I don't see how he can fail to at least attempt it once he wins the presidency without shredding whatever integrity he has left.
I would add a couple of things such as, an immediate repeal of the unconstitutional McCain/Feingold campaign finance law, a decentralization of education away from Washington to the states, and a forceful public rebuke of any disastrous "global warming" remedies which hamstring or slow the US economy in any way.
Bottom line: if J.Mac campaigns on this conservative platform and details how he'll accomplish these things, then I will have no choice but to consider voting for him in November.

I definitely agree here, I think what he said sounds great, but I too don't know if i would trust him to follow through with what he says.
The point is moot Ed. You could not even consider voting for Obama-lama- ding-dong or Monica's boyfriends wife could you?
If J.Mac continued to be his usual arrogant, hostile-to-conservatism, left-leaning, poke-in-the-eye maverick through November, then yes, I would have considered a suicide vote. Not because I like Hillary or Obama. They're both loathsome degenerates. But because I resent so deeply the republican party's expectation of party loyalty from grass-roots conservatives, when the the man they want me to support and donate money to, ironically has been the biggest Benedict Arnold to the party in the last 100 years.
That being said, McCain has moved dramatically right on record and has said all the things he should have been saying for the past 12 years. He's come to me, not arrogantly expected me to compromise my principals and accept him.
