McCain v. Bozell

L. Brent Bozell III asks in this past Sunday's Washington Post's Outlook Section after a balanced and even-handed history of the dissaffection of Conservatives from the Republican Party, "What should McCain do?"... and answers by saying, "McCain must... He needs to... He should... McCain could... Now he should..." Mr Bozell, what good comes from the "Should-a... Would-a... Could-a... mantra? Mr Bozell, do you think he's listening, now that he's got the nomination? Did he ever listen to Conservatives?

He did. And herein lies the Key to getting him to listen to us, again.

Sen. John McCain is out of money. The Conservative base is in no hurry to sit down and write a check to McCain, "who arguably least qualifies as a Reagan conservative" as Bozell writes in his WaPo Op-Ed, From the Right, He Looks Too Blue. No matter what he "should do", he won't as long as the Money he tried "to get out of politics", keeps coming in. We have an advantage here and can use it to advance the Conservative Movement. John McCain will do OUR bidding if we press him to do so. If we press him to do so in the right way.

During our successful fight to stop Illegal Immigration and the Amnesty Act of 2007 known as McCain-Kennedy I came up with an idea to press home the point that WE pull the purse strings on any run for any office in the land. Never has that fact been more important than today. If we are to take advantage of the time granted to us by the Limbaugh Effect and the ensuing chaos in the Democratic Party brought on by Rush Limbaugh, we have to act now, before the Republican Party faithful get in line and sit down to write checks to Sen. John McCain. Don't forget...he's out of money.

So here's what WE do... WE write a friendly note to Sen. John McCain and with it, include a voided check in the amount that you would normally donate to his campaign. Since you're going to write VOID across the check, you could make it for the maximum amount allowed by Law, but that's up to you. The point will be made by sending the voided check. The note you include is key. Go straight down the list of issues you have as a Conservative which are being ignored by his campaign. Use Mr. Bozell's excellent piece as a starting point. Check out Void $upport for progress on this front in the coming months.

Let's remember, McCain is a Senator and compromise is his business. We got his mind right on Amnesty for Illegals because he took a beating in contributions for being on the wrong side of the issue. Just think... you can press the point home as we did with all those bricks sent to Washington to build the fence... but without all that extra postage.
