I said “hope”, I can’t actually say for certain.

If FOCA is the first legislative issue out of the box ~ I don’t think it will be ~ I should hope that Christians and conservatives would speak out. It’s more likely that Obama would appoint a radical to the Supreme Court and the candidate’s radical positions would simply be glossed over by the media.

I don’t buy that reprehensible for “voting for the only other possible winner” stuff. If you feel that strongly about it I don’t take issue with it.

I voted for the candidates who fell in line on most of my issues and would be most supportive of our troops in harms way.

“I voted for the candidates who fell in line on most of my issues and would be most supportive of our troops in harms way.”

Interesting. To be truly supportive of our men and women in uniform, (my daughter was over in the Middle East) any candidate would have to have been in power.

So that is how I voted, knowing that bHo would not be and would work against the country our troops serve. So considering I had blood over there, I was very interested in who would have a chance to be the commander in cheif of our troops.

McCain was NOT the best candidate available to us, but given the realism of the election, there was NO other who had a chance to be the Commander in Chief.

So then the REALISM is that there was not other choice. All other votes I thought would be wasted and were, except to make me “feel” better.

“Feeling” is not what is best for our troops. Us doing it would be selfish considering where they are. They are not allowed to work on feelings, those are a luxury for folks here who are safe and cozy in the U.S. Our troops did not have a luxury of voting or working under every 3rd or 4th string candidate. Particularly based on our “feelings”.

Given that reality, I voted what had the best chance that they would have the best Commander. As I said all other votes were wasted or against the troops best interests.

But that was my opinion and I had blood under the gun and voted accordingly.
