Critics of McCain's Critics Want Leftward Tilt

Isn't it ironic that GOP moderates are harshly criticizing GOP conservatives for being harshly critical of GOP presidential front-runner John McCain?
What mortal sins have conservative McCain critics committed? Oh, they've stuck to their conservative principles, fighting for the values they believe in and refusing, prematurely, to surrender. What good would they be if they so readily threw in the towel of defeat?

I would agree with David Limbaugh, blatham, he makes a good logical and common sense analysis of it. David is the not so bombastic brother of Rush Limbaugh of course. McCain does not represent the heart and soul of the Republican party, and certainly not conservatives, as he sort of claims now, not even close, and it remains to be seen if he is an anomoly of history or if he forever changes the structure of his party.
I do fear that society is moving left, and if one does not believe it, witness the hoards of mindless worshipers of Obama, of whom I doubt 10% of them could give you any significant information on what Obama actually believes or one thing that he has actually accomplished as a senator of his state or the country. It is a fad, but fads win elections.
I do take heart from my recollection that the press painted Barry Goldwater and his politics as a relic of history, and when Reagan came on the scene, the press dismissed him at first. But we see what happened. Conservatism is simply common sense, and we just need someone that can articulate it and explain it, and someone with leadership qualities. Governor Romney comes the closest that I've seen in a while, and he will be around a while, we will see more of him.
