Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:43:07 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 http://blog.oup.com/2008/02/john_mccain/comment-page-1/#comment-139491 Nick Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:57:51 +0000 http://blog.oup.com/2008/02/john_mccain/#comment-139491 I have to disagree that McCain is a conservative. His signature legislation of the past few years has been the Kennedy-McCain immigration bill, which attempted to grant amnesty to twenty million illegal immigrants. His McCain-Feingold bill is arguably unconstitutional. His support for our undeclared war in Iraq (we haven't declared a war since World War II, btw), coupled with his desire to stay in-country for one hundred years highlights his distance from anything conservative. McCain's actions and speeches imply that either he has never read the U.S. Constitution or that he grossly misinterprets it, much like the words of Hillary and Obama. Only one man has an accurate understanding of our founding ideals: Ron Paul. I have to disagree that McCain is a conservative.

It in fact was from Barry Goldwater Jr., however my point is that a Goldwater relative has not been known to be the standard bearer of the legacy of the man that revived American conservatism.

The Goldwater endorsement for Ron Paul is from Barry Goldwater's nephew, who has not been known as the standard bearer for the legacy of his late uncle.
