Conservatives value Money & Acess over Principles

Post by LaWood »

Occasionally a door opens and some light shines in when one of them
forgets the light is on. But here it is in black and white put out by an official
of the American Conservative Union, Chairman David Keene:
Meanwhile, conservatives are growing increasingly “resigned” to the idea of a McCain nomination, said David Keene, chairman of the American Conservative Union, adding that among Washington activists, many of whom, like him, double as lobbyists, self-interest may also be a factor.
“There are people who don’t like the idea of a being off a campaign or being on the bad list if the guy gets into the White House,” Mr. Keene said. “This is a town in which 90 percent of the people balance their access and income on the one hand versus their principles on the other.”
