opposition to universal health care
McCain's health care tax credit scheme is socialist redistribution.
support for a balanced budget
Mere lip service. See health tax credit above.
support for free market solutions
Globalism is Socialism in a business suit.
support for reduced taxation
Gorebull Warming, cap and trade, health care tax credits... You're joking, right?
support for 2nd Amendment rights
and support for a strong national defense
Many socialists are for strong nat'l defense... Lenin, Mao, Marx, etc...
are all socialist, oppressive positions?
Nothing trumps sovereignty... Nothing. Without sovereignty, we are simply... not. McCain would give up our sovereignty on the seven seas to the United Nations. He would dissolve our borders by way of the NAU. He would dilute our sacred vote, and thereby our sovereignty with an influx of a socialist horde, which would all but guarantee all further elections would be useless displays.
What Conservative could vote for these?
I see, a tax credit is a socialist redistribution. Tax credits - the government collecting LESS from you - is redistribution. Interesting definition!
So then, any deductions you take on your personal taxes are socialist redistributions! And as a Principled Conservative then you must not take any deductions, right? Unless you're a Socialist?
Mere lip service. See health tax credit above.
So voting for a Balanced Budget Amendment is just lip service. I see. Actual ACTIONS aren't anything more than lip service. Wow, what a position to take!
Globalism is Socialism in a business suit.
Free markets are socialism? Then the opposite of free markets - communism - must be what you want to see!
Gorebull Warming, cap and trade, health care tax credits... You're joking, right?
No, I'm not. Reduced taxation. Tax credits mean LESS TAXES. What part do you not understand? McCain may support some ideas you don't support, but he's not going to make you pay for them, or pay people to take those positions. He'll reduce taxes for positions, but that still requires you to have to pay taxes, just less of them. You don't get direct payments to take those positions.
I assume you consider the Bush tax cuts to actually be socialist wealth redistribution, and effectively increased taxation?
ROTFLMAO!
Chuck Baldwin is a Kool-aid drinking Paulian who lies about anyone and anything if it advances his extremist views.
You want a REAL gun-ownership group that is more than a few dozen Paulians polishing their pistol? How about the NRA supporting McCain. I'll take the endorsement and support of a few MILLION gun owners from all walks of life over the few dozen Paulians at Baldwin's site...

Except those named Obama and Hillary...
Nothing trumps sovereignty... Nothing. Without sovereignty, we are simply... not. McCain would give up our sovereignty on the seven seas to the United Nations.

Proof, please? You're making the claims, you back it up.
I would only observe that I thought Ford was a lousy president and I didn't vote for him but instead I was voting against Carter.
I feel pretty certain that as bad as Ford might have been there was no way he could have been worse than Carter.
I've held my nose pretty much every election in my life excepting two.
So yeah, I'll punch the ticket for McCain just like I did for every stinker before and after Reagan. Sometimes, no, most times you have to choose the one you don't trust to do the right thing vs. the one you KNOW won't do the right thing.
For what it's worth.
