==McCain Speculation==

==RINO McCain==

Some conservatives distrust [[John McCain]] and even call him a RINO, but his policies are that of a true conservative. Key RINO principles include support for gay rights, support for abortion, and support for earmarks: John McCain is against these positions. He has always worked in a bi-partisan fashion, reaching across the aisle whenever possible. The sacrifices he has made for this country cannot be overlooked, and his commitment to his duties is second to none. His fiscal conservatism, his support for families, and support for a strong national defense are in line with conservative, [[Reagan Republicans]].

A majority of conservatives distrust RINO [[John McCain]] even though many of his policies are that of a true conservative. Key RINO principles rejected by McCain include support for gay rights, support for abortion, and support for earmarks. He has always worked in a bi-partisan fashion as a moderate, reaching across the aisle whenever possible. This is also his downfall. The era of reaching across the aisle passed -- when statist, socialist Democrats became Senators. His major political blunders all came during the 21st century political period. His support for amnesty was the complete opposite of what conservatives wanted. Another Middle East war, without a goal, without full commitment to win, without Congressional approval- McCain supports the President. It didn't stop there and in July 2011, he called the Tea Party, the people that care about fiscal sanity in Washington, they are "hobbits".

 

The sacrifices he has made serving this country cannot be overlooked. John McCain has earned war hero status but he also the status a D.C. zero, the elder RINO.
