No, there is one reason, a simple reason, or rather, a simple question:
Do we FReepers want to win the War in Iraq, that’s it, do “we” want to sacrifice our better views in favor of winning that war?
Does Conservatism require a Victory for the United States in Iraq?
Yes, it does.
Is there a crystal clear choice in Election 2008?
Yes, this time there is, we can win the War, or we can cut and run and lose the War, that is in our hands, the choice is ours to make, do we throw the Sacrifice of the men and woman who have fought, bled and died and been handicapped under the Bus or “Purity Posts”?
Nay Nay gentle FReepers, how can we turn our back on that blood, sweat and Sacrifice of the Best Among us?
I submit, we cannot, I hate the thought of a Global Warming Tax (sic) I despise the thought of Shamnesty, I curdle at the thought of Gun Shows being shuttered.
What bothers me more deeply, and logically, is the thought of allowing the United States to lose in Iraq, in the words of General Patton:
“Losing is HATEFUL to a REAL American”
Indeed, that cuts to the quick of my soul, nay gentle FReeepers, let us Support Mad Jon McCain, and let us then support real Conservatives in local, State, and Congressional Elections...
To not support Mad Jon McCain, is to support losing, I cannot do that.........ever...nor do I believe that my fellow FReeper Community wants to see that either.

So, when exactly do we win this war? We already defeated the Iraqi government.
The problem with declaring a war on evil (terrorism is a form of evil) is that humans are incapable of winning that war on their own.
Excellent post.
I am less than pleased about McCain being the Republican nominee and would love to do a "no vote" at the top of the ticket, but there is too much at stake now. And Obama is downright frightening and seems to become more so each week.
Your follow-up posts are excellent as well and thanks for posting that Patton video. I had seen that before, but it was a pleasure to watch it again.
