John McCain's C-PAC speech was a preview of what McCain intends to run on until he shifts to "moderate" when the general election comes. McCain trotted out the ol’ favorite GOP hits: Taxes, Abortion, War, and my favorite perceptive liberty. The message of perceptive liberty is that you're on your own despite the fact humans are constantly incorporating ourselves from family to neighborhood and progressively on to city, state, and nation because it's intuitive for humans to realize that we're stronger together then divided.

McCain made a nutty promise. He said, "I will not sign any bill with earmarks." That's just crazy talk. Our form of government separates the executive, legislative, and judiciary for a reason. This claim would require first that the money would be taken out of politics on day one; McCain knows that's why the earmarks are there. The point also must be made that members of congress have been sent to Washington to please their constituents. So McCain made a dubious promise, and he didn't tell the folks what must happen first to get to the point where the legislative process totally changes to where the Executive Branch can dictate to the democratically elected Congress. Why even have a Congress in a McCain Administration?


The fact is that the Conservatives aren't going to forgive McCain even if he promises a Philosopher-Kingdom.
