Can’t speak for dems, don’t consider them sane on any level.
However, while we are at war and our heroes are in danger we cannot indulge ourselves by withholding our vote and risking an obambi CinC.
From the very first attack on our troops in Lebanon till this moment, our signs of weakness have wrought hell on earth and we cannot allow the evil to gain in strength.
Your views are equally as valid as anyone's on this forum. Keep in mind, as a suggestion, that this is a "conservative" forum and not necessarily a Republican Party forum. That is just a suggestion that will hopefully keep you from getting into some of the many "flame wars" that seem to permeate the forum these days.
Personally I don't diminish the right of any citizen to cast their votes as they see fit, nor do I attempt to change minds.
I am not as concerned as many, extolling the virtues of voting for the "lessor of two evils argument, of an Obama Presidency. The Executive Branch is only one of three equal branches.
What I am, just FYI, is very tired of the death grip the two corrupt major political parties have on our process.
I am also an old (relatively speaking) and very tired ex-stalwart of the GOP. No longer. I have finally taken George Washington's warnings about allegiances to political parties (in his farewell address to the Republic) to heart and will vote for the individual that comes the closest to representing my "Constitutionally Conservative" beliefs.
John McCain doesn't fit that profile, unfortunately.
Again, I take no issue with you nor your planned vote. It is the only capital any of us have in our political process.
Thanks, Carley.
Couldn’t agree with you more.... unfortunately, the Repubs haven’t done much better in the 25 years since 1983. The Israelis tried to tell us how best to deal with the islamofascists - swiftly and firmly. We didn’t listen. Now even the Israelis have forgotten, apparently. I didn’t want to believe it, but now it’s looking more and more like all our pandering and wussified responses have been about oil. How sad, and sadder still that we conservatives allowed ourselves to get sucked into this particular vacuum.
