Facing Reality
Rush Limbaugh
After the Super Tuesday returns and Mitt Romney's exit from the race, John McCain has emerged as the Republican nominee. Still, some Republicans are in denial over sending the maverick to face off with either Obama or Clinton.
Prominent right-wingers like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh have failed to endorse McCain, the only viable campaigner left. And yet, Ann Coulter went as far as to say that should would campaign for Hillary Clinton over John McCain. And Rush Limbaugh has accused McCain of stabbing "his own party in the back" by running a successful campaign.
While Coulter and Limbaugh are busy making a living by causing uproar within the Republican party over John McCain, they fail to recognize his long record of supporting important Republican issues, such as a strong national defense, a smaller government, and fiscal responsibility. These are not issues Huckabee excels in, let alone Clinton or Obama.
As I've stated before, McCain is the best candidate in the Republican primary, even if he is not perfect. Fortunately, it seems clear that the American people are not looking for a party pawn. I suspect that Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and other hard liners are digging their own graves by ignoring our party's need to change its approach if we want a serious chance of remaining in the White House.
The people (well, at least those who have voted thus far) have spoken. John McCain is our man. Either get on board or dive off.
