My first choice was Giuliani and my second choice was McCain. I like McCain. He is an independent thinker quite like myself who doesn’t follow blindly. I like the fact that he has not agreed with Bush on everything. Neither have I at times.

I have to say that this isn’t 1980 anymore. The Conservative Party of yesteryear is no longer. There is a new generation of conservatism. That inludes the very conservative types and the liberal conservatives like myself. I am a pro-life feminist, pagan, environmentalist that likes Bush and who is also in favor of Gay Marriage. Now, as it reads, I am obviously not your cookie-cutter ‘conservative’, but I have always voted Republican.

I do plan on voting for McCain if he should be the nominee, but when I hear talk from conservatives saying they would rather vote for Hillary instead of McCain, I can’t help but wonder what they’re smoking. There is absolutely under no circumstances will I ever vote for a Clinton.

McCain is NOT the enemy. The terrorists who killed 3,000 of our citizens is the enemy. Conservatives should like about that before trying to ‘make a point’ by voting for Hillary just because McCain doesn’t fit the picture of ‘perfection’ when it comes to being a ‘conservative’. No one is perfect, but everyone is an individual. McCain will get my vote, no questions asked.

I have not agreed with President Bush on every decision he has made, but I will say that there have been many days (911 for example) when I thanked God that he was in the Oval Office. But may I ask why, if you are an independent thinker you have not noticed that when McCain does not agree with Bush he DOES agree with the liberal Democrats and votes accordingly? I am a Conservative, not necessarily a Republican. I have always voted Republican, but I have come to realize that not all Republicans are Conservative and that is something that I must deal with this election cycle.
