Goldwater conservatives feel the GOP has been hi-jacked by the christian right. If they can't be ousted to form their own party then the only recourse for someone like Chris Buckley is to leave. True conservatism has been lost. Ask George will.

This was McCain's first presidential decision and he botched it. If he can't even get ahold of his own campaign, you can't tell me he can run a country.

Some idiot above says welcome to higher taxes under Obama, but Bush doubled the debt, and the fact Obama realizes someone has to pay the bills is being irresponsible!?! LOL . Fiscally responsible means a balanced budget. Sorry, but McCain is doomed because Bush has been fiscally incompetent. And I thought Ford was great and Bush Sr. not bad. Hated CLinton even though he did a good job. So i am not some Liberal lefty. Just someone who is educated. I am a Canuck in the US. sorry but the american right is so stupid sometimes.

Senator Obama is Presidential and Honest. I have seen on my job many Republican whites, men and women talking amongst each other saying how they can't believe how McCain and Palin are telling lies one after the other and they are disgusted. I've been disgusted for almost 2 years with the lies of the Republicans that is why I have left the Republican party and gone full force with the Dems. I like hearing the truth and I don't care if Senator Obama raises my taxes, insurance, food bill. If it will get us out of this caa caa that we are in, so be it. I am pleased to be a part of the group that helps out country. Former Republican Shelli of Georgia Cudos to you Buckley! Senator Obama is Presidential and Honest.

You sir, are a shining beacon of reality and common sense. I too have become disillusioned with the republican conservative base. This republican ticket in this election is the most pathetic tifcket put together in the last 40 years. Mc Cain is out of touch with the common person and Palin is flat out of touch with reality. I cannot beleive this is the best the republicans had to offer. Smears, lies, fear mongering and hate will not get the job done.The American people want solutions not rhetoric. Its time to retire john McWar and send Caribou Barbie back to Alaska. Obam/Biden in the biggest political landslide in voting histlry.

It was lonely being the only conservative to see the Bush-Cheney-McCain team for the fraud on conservatism they are. Is Buckley the only well-known conservative willing and able to speak the truth? Inconvenient as it is, what he wrote is in fact the truth. Finally, I have some company.
