There was never going to be a perfect candidate. We support them when the issue drives us to support them, and oppose them (respectfully) when we differ on the issues. It is that way with President Bush, and I don’t ever see changing that.
Congress needs to reform itself as much as, or even more so, than the Executive branch.

Sphere: Related ContentLeading conservative Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) threw his support behind John McCain (R-Ariz.) Friday, but that support was qualified.
Pence, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., said he was encouraged by what McCain had told CPAC the day before. He also praised McCain’s commitment to a strong military and to keeping federal spending down.
However, Pence said he disagreed with McCain on many issues, specifically two that are clear examples of McCain’s tendency to depart from the conservative political base of the Republican Party: McCain’s support for the political left’s views on climate change and his support for curtailing free speech through campaign finance reform.
