Some people think that conservative principles are an all or nothing deal. Here in Canada we also have an election and our Prime Minister, who is conservative, is taking flak from conservative purists for some of his middle of the road policies.But without those he just cannot get into power to implement any conservative policies that will improve things and get a general consensus of the people behind him to keep moving the conservative agenda forward. I see the race in the US in the same way: McCain is not the best conservative but he is fighting the extreme left and right now all we (all conservatives) can hope for is that he holds the ground.Sarah Palin is in the rear for the next offensive (2012?) but for that to happen Mccain has to hold.
May God bless both our countries with conservative governments.
One of my colleagues at the Middle School I work at as a School Psychologist made a great comment regarding McCain and those who think they must wait for a “perfect” candidate before they will vote - “Jesus Christ has not yet returned”. Until then we must choose the “best” candidate that is on the ballot. Not a “perfect” candidate, but the one who best reflects the values that the majority believes in. May God provide both our countries with leaders with integrity and courage.
