Among the reasons "movement conservatives" list for rejecting McCain:
*McCain-Feingold, campaign finance legislation signed into law by ... George W. Bush.
*McCain-Kennedy, the controversial immigration compromise supported by ... George W. Bush.
Of course, McCain was never a figurehead CEO. And he's got this thing against torture.
Perhaps he could score points with the partisans by acting more scripted.
Most conservatives are disappointed in Bush - your points above and the out of control spending. He is just as liberal as McCain.
