Conservative Chairman Mike Long Backs McCain

U.S. Sen. John McCain and New York State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long have not always seen eye-to-eye on major issues over the year — until now, following a face-to-face meeting on Thursday between the powerful state conservative leader from Brooklyn and the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

“We are certainly in synch on more issues than not,” said Long in an interview with the Brooklyn Daily Eagle the day after his meeting with McCain in Manhattan. “I’m going to recommend to our party leaders around the state that we close ranks and support his candidacy.”

McCain not TRUSTWORTHY at all
written by John Yungert , July 01, 2008

John McCain, when he needed to win Republican primary votes, said he had received the message that border security was to come first. Now that he thinks conservatives have no where else to go, he sats quite plainly that 'comprehensive' immigration reform will be his top priority. As he has for the past 8 years, John McCain will stab conservatives in the back at every opportunity. The only comprehensive that MCCain deserves is a comprehensive defeat on election day!!!!!!
