How the Republican Blogosphere Feels About John McCain

All the talk about McCain “not being conservative enough” to my ears is like complaining that Jamie Lynn Spears isn’t as screwed up as big sister Britney.

(To her credit, she’s trying really hard.)

Obviously you haven’t paid attention to McCain over the years Joey, as an Arizonan he is part of the reason I am not a Republican. He’s a big government nannystateist of the worst ilk. I am not a conservative but he doesn’t fit their mold either.

I wonder if the real story that the Repundits are missing is that the people voting for McCain actually like him because he’s a moderate and independent-minded person, much as they are… and there’s more of them than the party diehards would like to admit.

@Thomas: Oh, but I do — if only with passing interest. This post is largely for the benefit of those who don’t follow the more conservative blogs. To my readership, the Pajamas Network/National Review-following side of the blogosphere is Bizarro World.

The other reason for the post: the editorial cartoon made laugh out loud.

but he has the third most conservative voting record in the senate. I don’t see how that makes him remotely “moderate”
