Tell your Conservative Friends: John McCain won't pander to you
McCain adviser Lawrence Eagleburger says the Right is a "serious problem" and the Washington Post has the video: "I must tell you we fought it there, fought hard against it. There's no question that in the Republican Party it is a serious problem...Among the hard-right conservatives in the Republican Party John McCain was, shall we say, less than enthusiastically received. In fact, I myself, by complaining about the way they were treating McCain on television, I myself said something on television about Rush … whatever his name … Limbaugh, excuse me. And the next thing, I was being attacked by Limbaugh on his radio program. So believe me, personally I have lived with it. The Senator is living with it and what you see is what you get. You are not going to see him moving to assuage the concerns of these conservatives."

1. They are right about one thing
A McCain presidency will destroy the Republican Party. As president, he would be to the Republican Party what Jimmy Carter was to the Democratic Party and what Herbert Hoover was to the Republican Party.

3. McCain is not the conservative choice and wasn't in the primaries.
