Why Does John McCain Keep Running As A Republican?

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

Principles: John McCain says he'd have a hard time deciding between Hillary Clinton and Rand Paul in 2016. Which begs the question: Is the GOP's one-time presidential nominee and titular head truly a Republican?

 

On occasion, and those occasions seem to be more frequent these days, we're grateful McCain didn't win the White House in 2008. That is until we remember who his opponent was.

 

But McCain, greeted with applause from Democrats Wednesday when, according to TheHill.com, he "mistakenly strolled into President Obama's meeting with Senate Democrats at the Capitol," was a poor choice to represent the party of less government against Sen. Obama.

 

The media have designated McCain as a maverick who will buck his party when it gets out of line. They've promoted him as the conscience of a GOP that has become "extreme" — which is their way of saying it's no longer the party that surrenders to Democrat efforts to expand the federal leviathan so easily.
