Thank you Callisto. I do appreciate that others are wrestling with the same decision I am this year.
The status quo just doesn’t seem to be the answer any more. We have continued to support the people our early primaries foist off on the rest of us election after election, until now we are evening willing to take the dumbed down (with regard to conservatism and sound policy), John McCain. Folks, John McCain? I haven’t been a big fan of President Bush, but John McCain when he took him to task, did it from the left side of the isle in nearly every instance. Where was John McCain when Bush was implementing leftist policy. If not right there with him, he was criticizing it for not being leftist enough. Doesn’t that tell you anything? As bad as Bush has been on many issues, we’re about to sign on to a worse fate. Not no, but HELL NO!
The Republican party has adopted rules that allow crossover voters (read that democrats and independents) to decide who our nominees are going to be, before good solid Republicans even get a chance to vote. We’ve had a few million people cast votes for our nominee this year, many of them being democrats and independents, yet the decsion is nearly made. Essentially all but two candidates have been eliminated, under the rules the Republican party has devised to usher in a still more leftist individual election after election. When will this end? If we vote the status quo this year, it could actually mean the loss of portions of our sovereignty. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I realize it’s a very hard thing to ask. It is hard for me too. I hate being in this position. I hate being confronted with four years of leadership with one of the four people left in the races. The problem for you and I is that if we don’t take a stand now, in four years we’ll have candidates that are even worse than these. And if we go along to get along then, in eight years we’ll be faced with something even worse than that, and in twelve years, I cringe to think what we will be facing.
Folks why are the candidates worse every four years? They are wose because our situation becomes more critical. And when the election comes, we’re blackmailed into poor choices. This year the boogie man is Hillary or perhaps Barak. Are the choices in four years going to be any better if John McCain governs from the left and puts us on the verge of some cataclism? No. And that is what he will do, because controlling us is paramount. Some of you think this election is about saving the nation. Get real. It is about the continuation of herding us into the decisions they have caused us to have to make.
Isn’t it obvious to you that the status quo isn’t working. Serioiusly? Please be very careful what you do this election. I don’t know how many we have left.
"The essential principles of our Government... form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety."
