Most of us didn't get our choice for this November, but all of them (with exception of Ron Paul) are better than either Hillary or Obama and I don't much care for their form of taking from the rich to give to the poor.
Time is passed for having temper tantrums, McCain is the GOP candidate, love him or hate him.
I didn't much care for George W Bush in 2000, but he was a heck of a lot better than Al Gore... and I was certainly glad I chose Bush on 911.
Obama will get us all killed, McCain won't.... and Obama's SCOTUS choices are not going to be the kind we all want to live with for 40 years..... with Ted Olson advising McCain I fell much more secure having him name them, and I think it will be on the order of three or four coming up shortly.
It is time to actually read what Obama is promising and compare it to the worst of the worst of what McCain wants....
we don't have do-overs, though Hillary wants them in Florida and Michigan, so we have what we have... Everyone complaining had their chance.. you wanted Duncan Hunter... fine then you all should have gone to Iowa and New Hampshire and helped get him elected there... same with Fred Thompson, then should have gone to South Carolina and helped there... people didn't vote for Hunter and they didn't vote for Fred, they voted for McCain.
There comes a point in any election where you are either a Republican and support the candidate people voted in as our candidate or you are not.
McCain is saying he will be a one-term President, so we all have to be vigilant, same as we were with Bush and fight where he tries to do things we don't like.... He is likely to listen to us a heck of a lot more than the move-on.org candidate, Obama -- who will be beholden to George Soros from day one in office. He isn't going to be pushing a universal health-care plan this country can ill afford, and he says he isn't going to raise taxes and wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent.. I don't think he will be preparing our taxes for us or using our tax dollars to pay people to save money.... McCain is a lot of things, I have never thought of him as a Socialist.
Looking ahead there is one very smart conservative in the GOP and if he does a great job as governor a potential candidate in the future -- Bobby Jindal.... He is smart, charismatic and conservative....
I remind everyone Evangelicals got bent out of shape and jumped the GOP and helped elect Jimmy Carter in 1976 -- granted it helped usher in Reagan in 1980, but we are living with the fall out from Carter 30 years later.... in the time of a terror war we cannot afford to try and undo an empty suit like Obama when his puppeteer is George Soros....
So... yes, I will suck it up and vote for John McCain, to do anything different is suicide.
How big of an earmark will Amnesty be? How many billions will be redistributed with his Kyoto-Lite plan which also hamstrings the auto industry, the energy industry and puts a 50 cent per gallon new fed tax on gasoline?
McCain is in line with the Schwarzenegger/Gore plan, as is HillBama.
Who will oppose them if McCain is President?
Time is passed for having temper tantrums, McCain is the GOP candidate, love him or hate him.
The only temper tantrums I've seen are the folks stomping their feet and complaining about conservatives not voting for McCain.
McCain is saying he will be a one-term President, so we all have to be vigilant, same as we were with Bush and fight where he tries to do things we don't like....
Hmmm... I hadn't heard McCain say that. As to vigilant, "as we were with Bush," ya mean like how we fought NCLB and Medicare Part D? That didn't turn out too well, now did it?
I appreciate the passionate well thought our argument for John McCain. However, you put a lot of faith in his new found conversion to conservatism.
You seem to take it for granted that he will appoint conservative, strict constructionists judges. That is a leap of faith. Ted Olsen is a fine man but he is not President. McCain is a head strong man and he will not delegate that kind of power to anyone. He will appoint the type of judges he wants. His past statements about Alito and his leadership role in the “gang of fourteen” are profoundly disturbing. I do not trust him to fight for conservative judges. I expect him to do the same kind of things that he did recently as the leader who did everything he could to prevent Dubya from appointing conservative judges. Just look how hard he has been working to break the stalemate in the current backlog of judges. Not very hard at all.
We could talk about Amnesty, the first amendment etc. but you know where I would be going. McCain is deeply flawed and has a visceral aversion to conservatives and conservative principles. He is hateful, filled with bile and anger and viciously attacks his conservative opponents in the most vile and personal way. Just listen to the radio interview between McCain and Ronald Reagan’s son, Michael. It is truly despicable behavior.
I cannot see myself voting for this man. JMHO.
