In this election we have very a clear choice to make.
A choice between Victory against Islamic Terrorism or surrender to our terrorist enemy.
A choice between free market capitalist economy or socialism.
A choice between constructionist judges or liberal judges who legislate from the bench.
A choice between Life for the unborn or abortion on demand going wild.
A choice between lower taxes or higher taxes.
A choice between small government or big government.
A choice between John McCain or Barack Obama.
Let us choose John McCain. A Patriot, a war hero, and would be an excellent President.
God Bless America and our brave troops.
With what? Democrat/Socialist Party Lite?
Nah. That would only encourage the liberal ("moderate") Republicans and make them believe they are on the right track.
ALL will rally if given one to rally to- That is *not* McCain't. Herein lies the folly of 'electability' trumping principle.
Considering the alternatives, I will vote for McCain. Not happy about it though.
We must go to our leader for guidance. Ask Rush to tell us how to vote in this election.
All you need for conservative support is a conservative nominee. If the Republicans think they can continue the way they are going, then yes, 1974 levels are quite possible on the way toward being the Whigs.
I agree and will be voting for him. Is he perfect? No. Is he the lesser of the two evils? Of course. It’s time to fight the real enemy now.
Those are the same tired reasons that Republicans have been trotting out every election for 20 years or so. I’m sick and tired of voting for the lessser of two evils.
not just yet
I don’t think I can support him. I might end up voting for him.
I won’t vote for McCain. He wants to censor groups like the NRA and Right to Life during elections so they cannot criticize anyone running for office.
Putin’s doing the same thing, banning groups that criticize him during elections.
I see no difference between Putin’s fascism and McCain’s CFR. They both ban criticism of politicians and I will never vote for someone with such un-American ideas.
Ed
I will vote conservative. If there is no Reaganite at the top of the ticket, I will write one in. No more boogeyman free lunches for the Repugnicrats.
Certainly there seems to be a frightening lack of understanding of history and just what Marxism/Communism is...and a naivete in thinking it could never happen here.
Ok, I have been on FR for a long time so I am not a mole (at least I don't think so). Being a historian as well, I think I can say, somewhat, that I understand Marxism/Socialism...
What's your point? That we are all so stupid because we despise McCain and won't vote for him? Let me toss out my version of history (which I have stated a few times):
Lucy always says she will hold the football for Charlie Brown...
At what point does Charlie Brown walk off the field and say enough is enough?
Just keep saying that to yourself...right up to election night when you'll find out we weren't DU Trolls. I appreciate all of your arguments for voting for him, just don't see the same man that you are making yourself see.
Preserving the country. That's why I'm not going to vote for a bad candidate just because he has (R) after his name.
In case you hadn't noticed, the word has gotten out that conservatives will vote for the (R) anyway, as long as they are thrown a few lies and some look-good/feel-good rhetoric. As long as this is the case, conservatism will continue to lose ground, regardless of which party wins...ergo, a loss for the country.
However, if it can be demonstrated that conservatism is relevant, and the party ignores it at its own peril, then we might have a loss for the party in the short term, but a gain overall for the country.
And if a liberal with an (R) can win without conservatives, then maybe conservatives should re-examine whether the are the "silent majority" as is repeatedly claimed.
Here's another way to look at things....
How can we expect our candidates to stick to principles, if we won't do so ourselves?
In everything else McCain will be every bit as disasterous for this country as Obama. Both seem to be Running to be Carter II and I see no reason to help either one.
We are the firewall Allegra, the Dhimmis do not want to win in Iraq...period...they would rather see America lose, then to dare to win in Iraq.
Democrats want a diminished America.
Let’s see his VP choice, but right now - nope.
There will be substantive differences between a McCain presidency and an Obama presidency. This means that, if Obama is elected, there will be changes not easily undone in the future.
