Back in 1999, I was very excited to vote for George W. Bush. I thought I saw in him the end to the Klinton and Marxist Dimocrat rule. He played himself as a conservative. Spoke like a conservative. Talked all the time about "compassionate conservatism." Funny, something happened along the way. Bush ignored conservatism for the huge spending of socialism. He never was one bit conservative. If anything, he is a moderate to liberal RINO. Bush and his crap did it for me. I had already thrown in the towel with the RNC. Did not renew my membership. Kept my money.
For these past eight years, while I support Bush for his efforts on a few tax cuts and his fight of the Islamic murderers, he has totally let me down with his huge spending, his butt kissing of Ted Kennedy, his total refusal to close or do anything about illegals, EXCEPT to want to legalize them. Bush was naive to think he could get along with these dimocrats. If he could not see them for what they were, are, then he had no business being president. All of us know these people. We know their hate of people of faith, of the military, of the Republic as founded. Yet Bush "thought?", "believed?", whatever, that he could deal with them. Wrong. They are not in the business of "dealing" with us. They truly hate us. The hate is mutual. I hate them as well.
I will never make those mistakes again. No more nose holding. No more voting for the lesser of evils. If a candidate does not come close to my beliefs, conservative beliefs, belief in the Republic and the Constitution AS WRITTEN, then I will not vote for those people. Simple as that.
Excellent and very articulate post. I agree with you 100%. No more compromise, McCain is unacceptable. Not even with a face mask and a fumigator could I vote for McCain.
