Following a man into battle is a far cry from turning over our family’s security and future well being to be managed by him. I would have gladly followed Patton on his campaigns of WWII but I sure as hell would not have trusted his judgment on the day to day and personal well being of my grandmother.

We “purists” just happen to be critical thinkers (something that is no longer taught in our government schools) and make our judgments on the whole pie instead of just the last piece we were last served.

McCain’s legislative history has trampled on our first ammendment rights, tried to pull a fast one on amnesty, blocked our ability to be energy independent, hijacked the ability of conservatives to break judicial fillibusters and the list goes on.

Just as our Maker will pass judgment on the totality of one’s life, so must we. It is a non starter to even think about voting for the idiot and empty suit called Obama, but it is up to John McCain himself to earn our vote. The issue is in his hands to make sure we show up at the voting booth and not just our duty to cast a vote against a possible tyrant. If we end up with the tyrant, it is just as much McCain’s and the Republican Party’s fault for not energizing us beyond those actions for which he is a true military hero.

Please, everyone remember that Benndict Arnold was once an American hero before he too turned to the dark side for his own selfish gains. Military heroism is most often not a calculated event. but McCain’s legislative shortcomings most certainly are.

So are you going to throw your vote away on Bob Barr, Ron(Pat)Paul(son)?

If Obama is elected, anyone who did not vote for McCain(who I have no love for) will still be dead to me.

"Critical thinker", are you?

Did your school skip teaching "logical thinking" altogether?

There are three ways to cast your vote in November's election:

or

or

If you are left of center, two of those choices will help put McCain in the White House.

If you are right of center, two of those choices wil help put Obama in the White House.

You "purists", because you claim you are so "critical", have made it clear that your vote in November will be going here:

You are thereby actively helping to make the next President of the United States

It is true that "our Maker will pass judgment on the totality of one’s life".

When you get to Judgment Day, you will then have the chance to explain your "critical thinking" by explaining why you helped keep a man with NARAL Pro-Abortion Rating of ZERO out of the White house and helping put this man in the White House:

NARAL Pro-Choice America Endorses Sen. Barack Obama!

How will your "critical thinking" explain on Judgment Day that you would rather see million of unborn die that vote for a man that allegedly "blocked our ability to be energy independent" by only pushing nuclear power and off-shore drilling except for drilling in ANWR?

Is that what your defense would boil down to?

"I would have rather seen millions of unborn die because he would not drill for oil in ANWR. He would only drill offshore everywhere else and that just wasn't good enough for a 'critical thinker' like me."

"I would have rather seen millions of unborn die because he 'insulted conservatives' and I'm a conservative and my ego is MUCH more important than the lives of millions of the unborn."

"Critical thinking".

Yeah, right. Good luck with your "critical thinking" come Judgment Day when "our Maker will pass judgment on the totality of one’s life,"
