I’m with you. McCain is not the candidate we conservatives were looking for but even the Bible says that Obamanation brings desolation...
I don’t like McCain at all, but I’m beginning to agree with the author. Obama has shown himself, and I believe an Obama Administration would be a complete and total disaster that could take a generation to correct. Sure, McCain believes in amnesty for illegals, among other things I detest, but with Obama I will get those things and much much more.
(it may be getting time to change my tagline)
Well, that is the worry of many conservatives: that the only way to make McCain look conservative is to compare him to immoral marxists, and ignore his tendency to enjoy working with the marxists over conservatives in Congress.
The discussion on this thread is merely more evidence that the do-nothing “popular vote” for President needs to be eliminated.
Wouldn’t it be more correct to say that Obama must lose than McCain must win?
McCain is not and will not be good for America.
“McCain’s ACU (American Conservative Union) voting record is conservative and was even more conservative in 2000.”
You just said it yourself. He’s gotten less conservative since 2000.
To whom it may concern, let’s avoid making it personal.
Why I Support John McCain

“My bottom line is this: The gulf between John McCain and conservatives is miniscule compared to the gulf between John McCain and Barack Obama. This is true regarding virtually every issue of significance to America. The America that a President Barack Obama would shape, with the help of a Democratic Congress and a liberal Supreme Court, would be very dissimilar from the America shaped by a President John McCain.
Conservatives who will not vote for McCain are well-intentioned utopians.
Therefore, as well meaning and sincere as many conservatives are, this mode of thinking — let the country suffer under a left-wing president, Congress, and Supreme Court and then it will come to its conservative senses — will likely lead to a downward spiral from which it is hard to see the country escaping for a generation, if it is lucky.
There is one person who can prevent this unhappy future — John McCain.
However noble their intentions, conservatives who do not vote for John McCain will be morally complicit in what happens to America during an Obama presidency.”
My gosh, how I can’t stand the thought of Obama in the White House. I feel almost as demoralized by the whole procedure as when Clinton won the first time.
My only question is, “What the...!?!”
I’d love to feel all touchy-feely about McCain, but I’ve swallowed my tongue every time he’s shown up on the television with an “R” next to his name, while he holds hands with Kennedy and the rest of the “D’s”, talking down to conservatives everywhere.
If I thought for one minute the man had changed his liberal-lovin’ ways I’d camp out at the polls until the morning they opened and be the first in line to mark the big “R” on the ballot... but I’m afraid he doesn’t breathe except it be for political expediency.
I wish I felt differently, but my memory is not that short.
Yep, I’m voting for McCain.
Good points in this piece.
Obama is not someone who will benefit the country as president, especially because he would be encouraged and allowed to implement every liberal policy the left could dream up, and there would be nobody to stop him.
McCain WILL win! We just have to get the word out.
Both Obama and McCain will give us open borders. The only difference is a McCain presidency will be the end of the conservative movement.
