An Angry Republican

John McCain asked us at the GOP convention to stand up and fight with him. We are fighting, but why isn’t Sen. McCain?

I was encouraged when I saw the news of people at his events, filled with anger and calling for Sen. McCain to fight. But then today we saw him almost endorse B. Hussein Obama. Does Sen. McCain not understand our anger? We are not mad at Sen. McCain. Even those of us who don't agree with some of his political positions share an enormous respect him for the sacrifices he has made his entire life for our country. If any man could earn the Presidency of the United States, John McCain surely has earned it through his personal sacrifices and the torture he endured during his years of captivity.

But, as you all well know, we don’t select our President that way. We give the Presidency to the person who motivates us to cast our votes by proving to us that he (or she) shares our values and will protect our country from people who want to do harm to it.

Sen. McCain is in an ideal position to motivate this country to elect him. Our country has spared itself from a subsequent terrorist attack on our soil because of strong Republican leadership in the White House. The current economic crisis in our country is the direct result of the carelessness and ineptitude of Democrat lawmakers who forced banks to provide mortgages to people who could not afford homes. And, on top of everything else, the opposing party has chosen as its presidential nominee a man so unqualified and incompetent that the only thing he knows how to do well is make friends with terrorists, thieves and hate mongering racist.

Sen. McCain is aware of these facts, but he has yet to point them out to a national audience. We need to hear him say that he is not going to let us take the blame for everything that is wrong with the world anymore. We want to hear him say the war in Iraq was the right thing to do. We need to hear him say that Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Jimmy Carter are the cause of this economic crisis.

Sen. McCain defended us in Vietnam, giving everything short of his life, I honor the fact that he survived just to irritate his captors, but we want that warrior back. For eight years the Bush administration has sat quietly in the White House and allowed the Left to demonize him, his administration, and those of us who supported and voted for him and we are tired of it. President Bush has kept us safe for 8 years. Sen. McCain should honor that and defend it and promise to keep us just as safe during his term. Obama talks about stopping genocide, why does Sen. McCain not challenge Obama on why he voted to ensure genocide in Iraq? And if you believe Obama about him being the lone voice against the war in Iraq to begin with, then why was he voicing opposition to end the genocide that Saddam and his two sons were causing in Iraq? Why did Obama support Odinga, and has never denounced him, who caused genocide in Kenya?

We are angry.

• We are angry that ACORN is still operating. If Sen. McCain wants to suspend his campaign and go back to Washington to defend this country, do it to take the floor of the Senate and put a stop to ACORN!
• We are angry that our President didn’t defend our party or himself.
• We are angry that Congress did not protect us from our Congress as they allowed abuse and corruption for political gain at our expense, we are really angry that our President and our Party leaders have allowed the Democrats and the MSM to place the blame on us for it
• We are angry that the radical Left wants to throw away 300 years of National Pride and Tradition and our party leaders are quietly allowing it to happen as to not offend the Press and the small minority of those who hate our country.
• We are angry that Obama and his campaign have called a national hero dishonorable and McCain and his campaign have allowed him to get away with it.  

We are fighting for Sen. McCain, when is he going to join us?

Respectfully,

 An Angry Republican (and donor to McCain/Palin08)

I’m angry that the fundamental structure of the financial system in America was regulated into oblivion. Congress is supposed to provide oversight. Instead, they created this problem by mandating that banks make loans to anyone with a pulse. I can live with a downturn in the stock market due to economic slowdown. This is different. Everyone knows that the basic structure is flawed. Where’s the reform? CRA should be eliminated. Fannie/Freddie should be privatized. Let banks be banks. Fix the problem, don’t just throw money at it.

And Obama, the community organizer, is going to be president because McCain won’t get in the gutter and fight. I suspect Obama’s work at ACORN directly contributed to this mess when they sued banks because of low CRA ratings to force them to make bad loans. Obama’s been campaigning for 20 months, but he has never explained what a community organizer is or what they do. Now I know that they get government funding to rob and kill banks.

So you’ve got Congress passing laws to force banks to make bad loans. You’ve got taxpayer money going to ‘non-profit’ (but not non-political) groups like ACORN and their laywers to enforce. You’ve got Congressmen receiving campaign contributions from Freddie/Fannie to keep the game going. This smells like a taxpayer shakedown and power grab originating from the highest levels of Govt. Or am I just paranoid?

For starters, McCain has always been a back stabber! We’re only getting what we bargained for.

[BTCM]

We grow closer each day to seeing tanks roll up Pa. Avenue and the congressional clowns with their liberal judges friends running for the Canadian border.

I couldn’t believe my ears when McCain said in effect that Obama would make a good President. Elsewhere, McCain’s political ads mention that Obama is a liar and a risky choice. Just being collegial I guess.

Dennis Miller says that “McCain is going to etiquette himself right out the door.”

If it weren’t for Sarah Palin, I would despair.

[09Patriot]

I am still in dispair. I really dont want to see Palin have to push any of Mccain’s agenda. You know he will do it. Say another “citizenship” idea, the conservatives are not on board....he give Palin orders to sale it. don’t think it wont happen. But it would be a hoot if she says I quit!

Dole / Palin 2008!

McCain should hand the ticket to Governor Palin, and get out of the way.

[machogirl]

That would be interesting. Why do I get the feeling that they wouldn’t fix it, that they would make it worse?

Start by giving away the houses to those that made bad decisions, while those of us who were responsible continue to pay our mortgage.

Then, Rezco, after being pardoned by obama, builds his slum housing for everyone else. (Picture soviet era apartment buildings).

Why is the media painting us out of control extremists because we’re upset?

They haven't seen "upset" yet - if Obambi succeeds in stealing this election, I predict some very angry, very agitated conservative people. They'll see a side of common folks that they hadn't seen before.

People don't respond well to being repeatedly stepped on.

[meyer]

...said that the repubs because of the mess the country is in, are throwing the election.

So why the hell did they throw it in 2006? No, they're not "throwing" it - they are too inept to see the obvious.

[meyer]

Barak Obama is currently the luckiest guy on earth to have this financial mess fall into his lap.

This financial mess didn't "fall into his lap". It was orchestrated by the left.

[machogirl]

I can’t imagine why john still believes that he can get a “fair shake”.

One doesn’t hear “the one” touting the positives of mccain.

If I could say one thing to john it would be:

Campaign to win, not to lose, darn it!

[meyer]

John McCain is a tired old man. Its that simple.

Well then somebody send him some viagra, or some 'roids. Get him fired up a bit.
