McCain Stresses Conservative Credentials in Alabama
posted 9:33 pm Sat February 02, 2008 - Birmingham
Arizona Sen. John McCain, making a presidential campaign swing through Tennessee and Alabama today, addressed concerns raised by talk show host Rush Limbaugh, author Ann Coulter and some other conservatives about whether he can unite Republicans if he's the nominee. McCain says he believes that the majority of the Republican Party conservatives are convinced that he's the best equipped to lead this country, unify the party and take on the challenge of radical Islamic extremism.
McCain says he had a 24-year record in the Senate of "fighting for the rights of the unborn" and boasted that he never asked for a single earmark or pork barrel project for his home state of Arizona.
In Birmingham, he told a crowd of more than 800 people that the Senate must pass the president's economic stimulus package, make President Bush's tax cuts permanent and cut the corporate tax rate.

John McCain IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE , he is a L I B E R A L and is nothing more than a DEMOCRAT in a Republican suit. No matter what happens in this election between McCain and whomever the Democrats vote in the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS will win and take every penny that you have in SOCIAL SECURITY, WELFARE, HOUSING, MEDICAL and EDUCATION PROGRAMS and we as TAXPAYERS will now foot the bill. You have to remember that McCain endorsed the KENNEDY IMMIGRATION BILL that gives AMNESTY to all ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS PAST. PRESENT AND FUTURE and I must say you all will reap what you sow.Everyone of you idiots that voted for Huckabee just so ROMNEY or should I say "THE MORMON" would be defeated. Romney was the best qualified for the Office of President, He is fantastic at relations with every Country, He would turn the recession around and make it so we would have had money to burn,the man has a very good business head on his shoulders and I'm saying all of this and I'M NOT A MORMON. The only thing left for me to say is WELCOME TO NORTHERN MEXICO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
