Why does the republican party seem to have issues with John McCain?

What is it about McCain that extreme right wingers appear not to like so much, and how can it be that he is the front runner in the republican primaries when in fact overall the party seems to have issues with him not being far enough to the right? What IS far enough to the right in the opinion of those with whom McCain's policies and ideas don't sit too well? why are finance and immigration reform "liberal" issues? Aren't those issues that touch upon the entire fabric of the nation? Don't quite understand what that person is trying to say....

1. Conservative have had their way for about 10 years and their policies have failed. McCain is more moderate and they don't like it. Too bad this is a democracy and the president has to represent all the people, not just the extremes.
2. He reached across the aisle, as have other great presidents in the past. The far right doesn't like that, but they know he is the most electable. They probably will vote for him in the end, though; don't buy into any of Ann Coulter's rantings about how she likes Hillary better than McCain.
3. Immigration is the biggest issue that I disagree with him about. In a nut shell, that is where he falls short for me. As to his lead, some of his votes are also coming from Democrats in states with open primaries. Some of his momentum also happened as his strategisits made sure that key endorsements were announced on the eve of different primaries. Had Romney & Huckabee not been splitting the more conservative voters, I don't think McCain would have the lead he has now. I think that is part of why Romney dropped out - to give Huckabee a chance to be a threat to McCain.
4. He is winning with less than 40% support of the party. That is because the Republicans were fortunate enough to have two other good candidates that split the majority of the vote. The liberal media is saying the "far" right are against McCain. In actuality most republicans are against him for many reasons but the two most prominant are finance reform and immigration reform. Two very liberal issues. With immigration reform the vast majority of both parties are for law enforcement and against amnesty yet not only McCain but also Clinton and Obama are deaf to the public demands and giving in to special interest groups.
5. If Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul combined win 58% of the remaining delegates they will have to have a brokered convention. Pauls good for about 4% so huck will need 54%. It can be done.
