Peter Hoekstra: McCain Built on Democrat Support

It's getting repetitive here, but there's a reason why my favorite conservatives all dislike McCain as nominee (including Rush, Hannity, Sen. Allen, Sen. DeMint, Sen. Santorum,...). He was continuously opposed to conservatives on every issue in the Senate. Tragically, as Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan (and Romney supporter) points out:

“Democratic involvement will play a decisive role in who wins the primary.”...“It will be a tainted victory,” Hoekstra said in a telephone interview about what a McCain victory would mean if it were built on support from Democrats. “It will be a nuance that a lot of the media will just miss.”

No wonder conservatives are having such a tough time - all the primaries through SC are open to Independents and Democrats, who overwhelmingly support the most liberal Republican. Heck, I think John Kerry would do pretty well if he ran in the GOP...
