The sheer, vicious, hatred shown towards John McCain (who is now the GOP nominee apparent, following Romney's post Super Tuesday drop-out) by some elements of the American right really does shock me. And honestly, I feel like I am missing something.

McCain is not, as Ann Coulter says in her latest column, "a liberal" by objective standard, and certainly not a liberal when measured against "the litmus test issues of our time." He is pro-life, extremely pro-gun, anti-gay marriage, and extremely pro-war. He is only "liberal" on a handful of minor issues that I have a hard time believing actually matter to anyone on the political right, such as campaign finance reform.

And yet the new faddish thing to do if you’re a conservative is to go around saying that you will never in a million years vote for the man, or even vote for Hillary or Obama instead.

What's the true reason for all the McCain hate? Post on my forum and let's talk.
