Why McCain Makes Conservatives Nervous
Do liberals really think that conservatives don’t want to have constructive relationships with other countries? Because we really do. It’s just that we are hopelessly pragmatic. We just get all hung up on facts and logic. Liberals fixate on the way they wish things were and conservatives are stuck on the way things really work. For example, historically, gentle pandering and has not been an effective way to deal with thug nations that respect violence and brute force.
McCain already has the love and admiration of sophisticated liberals who beleive that we need the approval of the UN, and we can get their approval if we grovel long and hard enough.
If he really wants to capture the hearts and minds of conservatives, he is going to have to elaborate on his strategy for improving foreign relations. what is it he knows about dealing with Chinese marxists or former Soviet KGB thugs or radical jihadists that noboby at the State Department knows about?
