Is McCain going to screw conservatives (again)?; RNC says message received?
Scroll down for updates…3:42pm Eastern… Message received? Fox: “Several sources at the RNC told FOX News that in the last 36 hours, senior McCain advisers and aides have told RNC officials that McCain ‘got the message’ last week that choosing a running mate who supports abortion rights would not be helpful.” Don’t exhale yet.
Wouldn’t put it past him. Would you? Which is why, despite all the encomiums he’s received from his Saddleback appearance, I haven’t joined the ga-ga bandwagon (and won’t).
Rich Lowry reports:
NR has learned that the McCain campaign has been calling key state GOP officials around the country the last couple of days and sounding them out about the consequences of a pro-choice VP pick. The campaign is asking about the reaction of conservative grass-roots activists to such a pick and whether a pro-choicer can be sold to them. This is an indication that the McCain campaign is serious about the possibility of a pro-choice VP nominee and that McCain leaving the door open to Tom Ridge last week may not have been merely a friendly nod to a longtime supporter.
Sound off. Guess they didn’t hear you loud enough the first go around.
Hat tip: Big A.

Update: David Limbaugh calls it…
McCain must quit echoing the Democratic talking point that places form over substance and the illusion of bipartisanship above principle. Who says Americans “want us to work together” if that means abandoning legal protection for the innocent unborn or other inviolable principles?
Update: McRudy?!?!?!

zero, you’ve already made the case that evolution is a faith, not science.
as far as intelligence…your evaluation of your intelligence is about as good as your defense of your hairygod darwin.
btw: how does your evolved sense of morality feel about supporting a theory with such a long history of racism and eugenics?
I’m sure you’re very proud of that legacy!!
victims of atheism
victims of darwinism
let me guess you’re also pro-abortion!
but I do feel sorry for you, such stupidity has to hurt!! and you are in a great deal of pain.
but hey thats typical for a darwiniac!! even your ‘best’ and ‘brightest’ like dawkins are so easily made fools of!! perhaps you darwiniacs need to evolve some intelligence.
your posts reveal you have a lot of ‘evolving’ ahead of you!
FSM
Prove it!
PZ Myers, noted athiest/darwiniac, with a typically evolved sense of morality!!
after the muslim cartoons:
yes, the poor oppressed muslims!! such a kind, ‘concerned’ atheist about religous sensitivies….
christians on the other hand:
so much for evolved ethics.
and on those who dare disagree with his hairygod darwin:
Sounds like the good atheist professor Myers has a final solution in mind for christians and those who disagree with evolution.
I’m sure you do to zerodemon
He also drove a nail through the Koran and a copy of Dawkins’ “The God Delusion” in the same stunt.
BTW, I fought in the Iraq War, how about you?

god what a blog line. to those no abortions under any circumstances i ask you how many nonforeign children you have adopted? to those who say abortion on demand at all times, how can you condone partial birth abortion and say hang the mother who puts her newborn into the trash. catholics need to reconcile their pedophile priests and their restocking the alterboy ranks with illegal aliens and stop sellectively applying which laws they will obey. the catholic marriage specifically has the father of the bride hand over his daughter to the husband, so when a spouse says their spouse is dead, catholics get over it.
