Senator McCain: Appeasing the Conservative Base

Now that Senator McCain seems to be on the verge of wrapping up the Republican nomination, he is setting out to appease the holier than thou conservatives and the conservative base. 
 
It is noticeable that McCain and the conservatives never talk about being an American.  One would think after hearing their rhetoric that the constitution mandates the nominee and/or President to be a conservative. 
 
It would be wise if the American people remember, especially since we are in an election year, that America has enjoyed the following on the Democratic watch:  (1) A safer America; (2) The greatest economy; (3) The greatest job creation; (4) The best fiscally sound administration with budget surpluses; (5) The lowest unemployment rate in 30 years; (6) The lowest crime rate in 40 years; (7) The largest paydown on the national debt; (8) Better control of federal spending; (9) lowest inflation rate; (10) Protection of the people's privacy and the list goes on and on.
 
Democratic Presidents have accomplished those things that conservatives only talk about.  Why?  Because Democrats put America and its needs first.  America is the Democratic ideology.  Phony conservatism is the Republican ideology and it's sad that McCain is now sucking up to them.
