Plainly for McCain

Modern Conservative ^ | Burt Prelutsky

Some mornings I wake up and, for a minute or two, I think that I must have been dreaming that there are conservatives who hate John McCain so much that, come November, they intend to stay home and let Bill Clinton’s wife or Jeremiah Wright’s surrogate nephew become president of the United States. But then I realize it’s not a dream, and that’s when the nightmare really begins.

Recently, I wrote a piece in which I stated a few of the reasons why I think McCain should be elected. I ended with a notion for a bumper-sticker: “Better an Imperfect Republican Than a Perfect Socialist”. But, still, I heard from a number of disgruntled right-wingers who vowed not to sully their principles by helping to elect a candidate they regarded as indistinguishable from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

I will repeat for the rest of you what I replied to these people. Granted, I don’t agree with Sen. McCain about amnesty for illegal aliens. But his position is no worse than that of the Democrats, and at least I’m confident that he’s opposed to the illegals having the right to vote in our elections. Democrats, as we all know, are for universal suffrage -- and that includes felons locked up in jails and people buried in cemeteries.

On the plus side of the ledger, McCain has never voted to increase taxes. Initially, he voted against Bush’s tax cuts, but that was because he wanted them tied to cuts in spending. However, when he lost that battle, he voted to make the tax cuts permanent. He is also leading the fight against earmarks.

This man, whom some conservatives regard as a RINO or even a closet liberal, is pro-life, pro...

So far you have been totally wrong about me. I don't like McCain but I like hillary and nObama even less. I am also not a HE, I am a 68 year old woman Bucky.

>>Perot voters always think he took more votes from democrats than from Republicans. It makes it easier to live with Yourself.<<

Wrong. I never voted for Perot, and I would not do it if I had a second chance. Maybe you are the one with a bias.

I do have a bit of a bias against Perot’s volunteers, glad you are not one of them. ;9)

Let me elaborate: I am all for tax cuts. But tax cuts, in the context of our current “compassionate” administration are a panacea to cure all sorts of increased government programs and spending and out-of-control deficits.

No more tax cuts without spending cuts. PERIOD. I would be all for a 10% tax cut if it required a 20% across-the-board spending cut. No ifs ands or buts.
