I would vote for John McCain.

States' rights used to be a euphemism for racism, referring to a states' right to allow slavery to be legal. This phrase of conservatism is now being borrowed by liberals to stand up for oppression, fascism, and the "neo-cons" that have taken over the Republican party. Stephen Crockett writes on OpEdNews.com:
Fiscal conservatism has become a very important element in Democratic election successes. Restricting the invasions of privacy and erosions of freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights is another element of the appeal of many Democratic candidates to traditional conservative voters.
It is clear that traditional conservative need to start ignoring the Democratic or Republican labels when voting. Issues matter. Policy positions and actions matter more than empty words. Traditional conservatives should be looking at the actions and beliefs of the Bush Republicans, “neo-cons”, so-called Christian Rightists and greedy Corporatists and deciding if these are the kind of people that should be using the “conservative” label!
