Sad, Sad, Sad Conservatives

William F. Buckley was let go at the National Review (a VERY conservative magazine founded by his father) for praising Obama for “having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect” while opining that McCain has taken “a once-first class temperament has become irascible and snarly; his positions change, and lack coherence; he makes unrealistic promises, such as balancing the federal budget ‘by the end of my first term.’ Who, really, believes that?”

When conservative turn on their own, it can get very ugly. By the way, does anyone REALLY believe McCain is a conservative? All my friends at college that were "real" conservatives can not recognize Bush or McCain as true to the conservative values they would extol in college. Things like non-intrusive government, anti-federal bailouts of private industry, huge government debt, etc.

In many ways, Obama is more "conservative" than McCain.
