ALeqM5isfQGENX-5jlADGjNKciB9hdketA The tension between Conservatives and John McCain still exists.  This from the Associated Press:

Typically, a gathering of conservative activists and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is no cause for unease.

Enter John McCain — a Republican with a history of clashing with his party’s right flank.

For the first time in three decades, Republicans are likely to nominate a presidential candidate who lost the conservative and evangelical votes in the primaries. Even as McCain reached out to them Thursday during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, some made no attempt to hide their distaste.

Amid the cheers, there were boos. Placards denounced McCain’s past support for changes in immigration policies. In the halls, public and private arguments erupted over his candidacy.

We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
