George H.W. is for McCain: another moderate

Our 41st President, George H. W. Bush, endorsed John McCain for president today, thus continuing McCain's No-Moderate-Republican-Left-Behind endorsement drive. Rudy Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger gave him his first endorsements, but H. W., like them, can hardly help McCain's effort to unify the party and attract conservatives. H. W. is the man who called Reagan's economic ideas "voodoo economics" during the 1980 campaign, and the man who broke his "read my lips" promise about no tax hikes. McCain already had the wobbly centrist voters who backed Bush in '80 and Dole in '96. I guess we can look forward to Bob Dole, Christie Whitman, Arlen Specter, Chuck Hagel, Richard Lugar and Olympia Snowe endorsing McCain next. (but not Lincoln Chafee - the erstwhile RINO-in-chief finally figured out that he never was a Republican and has endorsed Obama.)
RINO, for those of you in Metter, Georgia, is Republican In Name Only.
This election, we have to push conservatives for Congress as though it were an off-year election. No matter who wins the White House, we will need conservatives to counter the socialists in both parties.
