Some McCain support from the right

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Former Mitt Romney supporter Hugh Hewitt at Townhall.com seems to be getting impatient with some of his colleagues on the right and their reluctance to get behind John McCain, calling on them to support the Arizona Senator, “now.” The issue Hewitt believes they can all agree on—the war on terror. Excerpt below:

I don’t think any serious conservative can compare Senator McCain to either Senator Clinton or Senator Barack and say the war would be in better hands with either of the Democrats. In fact, any supporter of victory has to shudder at the prospect of turning the American military over to either of those two as this conflict rages.

I am replaying my President’s Day show today, an extended interview with Richard Norton Smith where we march through all 43 of the presidents (some get a lot more time than others.) I hope you listen throughout with the choice ahead of the country fixed firmly in your mind. The conservatives who wanted someone else have to get over it, quickly. This isn’t 1992 or 1996 (and 1992 and 1996 weren’t really the time of peace they appeared to be.)

The U.S. isn’t guaranteed the ability to recover from four years of disasters in the war. The war’s got to be conducted by a president committed to victory, and that means supporting McCain. Now.
