There’s a theocracy in place all right. It’s the “church of political correctness.”

McCain supporters are content to sail into the electoral seas without social and religious conservatives. Fine with me. I don’t know what issues you are so offended by that cause you to believe liberals and independents are more friendly to your point of view than we are. Is it abortion? Gay rights? Which ones? Define them. Why do your fellow soldiers, the people of faith bug you so much?

Your view is predominant in the Republican Party of today. So millions of values voters are left out. We are told to take poison or suffer a worse poison. In the old days we had something for everyone and could build coalitions. Those days are gone.

I assure you I hate big government in all its forms and wouldn’t trust the people of my own faith to do any better job of running it than is being done now. I don’t care who, what, when, or if you worship, but if we all can’t eventually agree on at least some well defined principles, this party is doomed. My best to you.

Luke21, I think you misunderstood my comments. First of all, my comments were not made in the context of this election. In fact, if you look at McCain’s record on social conservative causes, he does pretty well as a social conservative. James Dobson’s opposition to McCain was over CFR, not socially conservative causes.

What I am opposed to is using Big govt to promote religion. I believe that the govt should only be in business to things which are allowed by the Constitution. As conservatives we must be consistent of these issues.

Also, the federalization of well know case to some people, was in violation of the separation of powers between the State and Federal govt.

Preparing for the long war and Dark Ages II. The left is hell bent on committing suicide. It's up to the right to survive in spite of them. Liberal's character flaws always doom them. It just takes time.

It doesn’t say lesser of two evils. It says the evil of three lessers which is not at all the same thing so don’t presume to know what I have or have not seen the results of. I see you have yet to learn the problems associated with poor reading comprehension.

LOL!

Part of the reasoning behind my coming defection from Conservatives and their now albatross political party is the current inhabitants............like you.

Have a nice life buddy, and enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Christ defected from Romney as a result of pressures from the RNC.

The rest is history and incidental to the outcome.

No doubt in my mind that Christ will be the VP pick as a result and that's the setup for this game.

As a result, I'm gone and won't return until they are gone from the party.....All of them.

I think you mean Crist, not Christ.

Christ has other commitments.

Then again, only Christ as VP could save the McLame ticket. ;)

I did think for a moment about the spelling, but I decided to post it anyway...lol...Florida is a State where a well liked Governor has a lot of political weight. I spent a few years there.
