CU4, let's be honest. McCain is no "conservative" in the sense that true conservatives can admit to. What Tee irrationally hates is McCain the Republican. And worse, McCain the Republican who both supports the military, and its necessary military interventions. THAT's why he's hated. THAT's why the BS and hyperbole regarding Tee's proclamations of how dumb he is, how he wasn't really tortured, garbage like that.
But no, McCain is no Conservative, I'm afraid to say. Simply that he's embraced some of the conservative positions & rhetoric, but his record is hardly reminiscent of a true Reagan conservative
