According to the American Spectator.
"Because John McCain disdains the conservative movement. Because he has a temper so volcanic that Democrats could easily bait him into a "Howard Dean moment" in the fall that ruins his campaign and hands a landslide to either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Because McCain has run an entirely dishonorable, mendacious primary campaign so far. Because, from a conservative standpoint, McCain is bad on border security, bad on taxes, bad on judges, bad on respect for the letter of the Constitution, bad on respecting those who disagree with him, bad on energy exploration, bad on free-market economics, and absolutely horrendous in his zealous support for excessive regulation. He hearkens back not to Ronald Reagan's principles but, quite openly, to Teddy Roosevelt's -- and the truth is that TR was a big-government interventionist with an authoritarian streak and an out-of-control ego. Just like McCain is today."
I knew that about McNasty....but Teddy?
The inventor of the Teddy Bear? I'm shocked!!!

But Teddy wasn't a Republican. He was an independant. His party was the "Bull Moose Party", sure, ties to Republicanism, in outlook in several areas. So, bad analogy.
I see McNasty as a RINO, who will (once he loses in the general) will switch parties officially and become a dim-o-krap.
Well, he started and ended as a republican....
from wiki, the G-d of knowledge...
Historians speculate that if the Bull Moose Party had run only the Roosevelt presidential ticket, it might have attracted many more Republicans willing to split their ballot. But the progressive movement was strongest at the state level, and, therefore, the new party had to field candidates for governor and state legislature. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the local Republican boss, at odds with state party leaders, joined Roosevelt's cause.
The central problem faced by Progressive Party was that the Democrats were more united and optimistic than they had been in decades. The Bull Moosers fancied they had a chance to elect Roosevelt by drawing out progressive elements from both the Republican and Democratic parties. That dream evaporated in July, when the Democrats nominated their most articulate and prominent progressive, Woodrow Wilson.
So, yes. I guess its a better analogy than I first thought.... The Bull Moose Party was full of the crazy lib Republicans... sound familiar?
Nuff allready....
