Why I'm Voting for John McCain

Frankly, I’m amazed that the Democratic party is anything more than a cult. How in the world do they garner more votes than the Libertarians or the Greens? They are beholden to trial lawyers, teachers unions and the ecological crazies. So, why is it that upwards of 55 million Americans are ready, even anxious, to vote for Barack Obama in November? It’s a scary thought. But not half as scary as the notion of “Hail to the Chief” becoming Senator Obama’s theme song.

Democrats insist that we shouldn’t drill off the Pacific coast or in Alaska or in the Dakotas because they claim we wouldn’t get a drop of oil for at least 10 years. And that’s true, but only if the same left-wing idiots who are more concerned with moose than with people won’t allow the oil companies to build new refineries. Also, even if it were true that we wouldn’t be any better off for an entire decade, what do you suppose they’ll be saying in 2018, when gas is going for 25 bucks-a-gallon?

The Left wants to run our lives. Its that simple. The Republicans are not entirely committed to rolling back government. We will have to work hard to get John McCain to have the message received and understood.

Kerry had 58 million. At least half the country wants socialism. There are a lot of idiots out there.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship.”

— Alexander Fraser Tyler, 18th century Scottish historian, “The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic”

I am, I was, and I will vote for McCain because the little 0 (zero) CANNOT get into the people’s House this January!

The fact that Mr. McCain chose a conservative to be VP is a bonus!

AND the other fact, that it is Sarah Palin is an added super, sweet surprise!
How beautiful, knowledgable and determined she is all at the same time!

She will do well in this election!
May God bless her and the others who are trying to have an influence into the denseness of approximately 50% of this country’s electorate.
