"I would vote for the Devil over
John McCain, thus my claim that I would vote for
Hillary over
John McCain."

Ann Coulter,
psychopathic blond bombshell and conservative pundit.
"[John McCain's] nomination will destroy the Republican Party"
-Rush Limbaugh, SUPER popular, SUPER conservative radio host
"Senator McCain is not a conservative...he is not a Reagan Conservative. That, to me, is indisputable."
-Sean Hannity, Fox News host and uber-conservative, complete with feathered bangs and chiseled jaw.
WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
In 2000, he called Evagelical leaders Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson "agents of intolerance." He has since made up with the leaders for, what many assume, are political reasons.In 2002 he co-sponsered McCain-Feingold, a bi-partisan camapign finance reform law, which underminds the GOP belief that money = free speech. He is part of the Senate's "gang of 14" which tried to find compromises over conservative Supreme Court nominations-- how dare he compromise with liberals!He campioned an immigration reform bill with staunch-liberal Ted Kennedy, which would have allowed illegal immigrants to participate in a worker-visa program and ultimately gain citizenship.In 2001, he opposed Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy because he said that they were not accompanied by necessary cuts in government spending. Recently, however, he voted to make the cuts PERMENANT.A former POW in Vietnam, McCain opposes all forms of torture -- the horror!

it makes me so mad that the republican party has become SOO conservative that they can't accept a candidate who isn't uber-chisled-feathered-hyper-conservative like them...
its good for the democratic party though, so for now i dont mind that much
but will it change their minds now that romney is endorsing him?
I'm not sure...the GOP was definitely backing Romney 100% before he dropped out (although God knows why! -*cough*flip-flopper*cough*), but I think the McCain beef is so deep-rooted that Romeny's endorsement won't help much.
I guess you don't forgive and forget when someone calls you an "agent of intolerance."
While a divisive Republican party is technically good for Dems, a McCain nomination could really hurt democrats in the general election, particularly if Hillary is the nominee because she is anathema to so many independents.
ALTHOUGH! I would like to personally speak with anyone who would vote for McCain over Hillary but not Barack in the general election...that means you, Alex Poole.
