Subject: Who Killed Conservatism?

John W. McCain keeps saying that he is proud of Sarah Palin’s conservative credentials

Oh, really?

What conservative principle did she follow when she originally supported the “Bridge to Nowhere?” What conservative principle did she follow when she opposed the “Bridge to Nowhere” after it became a national disgrace? What conservative principle did she follow when she took that nasty evil earmark money that was for the “Bridge to Nowhere” and applied it to other projects in Alaska?

What conservative principle did she follow when she billed the taxpayers of Alaska for a tanning bed? Shouldn’t such a project for her vainity be paid for out of her Governor’s salary? A spokesperson for Palin said that the Governor uses the tanning bed as a treatment for depression. It is not important to know if Palin has a mental illness; what is important to know is that why she didn’t bill her health insurance company instead of the taxpayers of Alaska?

And the Republicans in Alaska have found Palin guilty of “abuse of power.”

Well, there ya go – “abuse of power,” a conservative credential McCain can be so proud of.

OK, I’m being sarcastic – “abuse of power” is a REPUBLICAN trait, and todays Republicans are not conservative at all.

Indeed, but maybe there is hope: http://www.amconmag.com/aboutus.html ....
