Why have Conservatives gone from calling McCain a liberal opportunist last year to honorable?? ?

Question

The GOP has moved left in order to win elections. After swift-boating Kerry, Conservatives tout McCain as a glorious war hero. McCain has been around forever and lost against Bush in the 2000 primaries. Has the party lost conservative ways?? Why or why not?

Answer 1

McCain and John Kerry's service records shouldn't even be compared. McCain was a POW and refused his chances at early leave until people captured before him where set free. John Kerry came home from the war and bad mouthed it and it's soldiers. I wonder how much torture McCain suffered because of Kerry's words.

Answer 2

I guess you can say the same thing about the left and how they used to see Mccain as a maverick, NOW hes on par with George W. But it doesnt matter who wins, because we headed down a very dark path.  

Answer 3

Conservatives sold out a long time ago in order to win elections.

It worked for a while...

Now, not so much.

Answer 4

Probably for the same reason Clinton is now claiming that Obama has enough experience to be President after all - so their party wins.

And no, the party is not as Conservative as I might like, fiscally speaking.

Edit: Thumbs down for the truth. Some people are idiots.

Answer 5

How dare anyone question the captivity and the moral fortitude of John McCain?? He was NEVER a liberal opportunist but he has always been honorable.
