All real conservatives should be very very concerned about the encroachment of   liberalism into the Republican party.  With the likes of McCain, Guiliani and even governor 39% being "accepted", the Republican party moves gradually toward the left.  These people are much like those on the left on issues of gun control, rights of the unborn, etc.  Their prior actions, not words, prove this.  Many liberals are giddy at the thought of a race between McCain and whoever the Democrats nominate.  They are calling it "win/win" Almost always it is better to sacrifice the short term for the long term benefit.  For that reason, I will not cast a vote for president in the general elections.
