Well, I was one of those who supported Paul and still do to some degree. But look buddy, there's two candidates now and there's no way in Hell I'm pulling the lever for an avowed Marxist with possible Muslim ties. And I'm not voting for the Libertarian/Constitution candidate with their head-in-the-sand foreign policy. McCain has reached out to conservatives with his pick of Palin, which means the GOP's future just got brighter, and if he tries that reaching-out crap conservatives will always get fired up. Voting for McCain-Palin is a no-brainer now.
“McCain has reached out to conservatives with his pick of Palin, which means the GOP’s future just got brighter”
The GOP future won’t get brighter until the conservative, Christian and constitutionalist grassroots are re-energized at the local level. The party establishment has not changed.
Honestly, I don’t understand all the excitement about just because Palin has joined the ticket. Even assuming that everything that she has said about herself is true, she is not going to have any influence once in Washington. Do you really think that a truly committed pro-life/pro-family conservative will have any say in an administration filled with liberals, compromisers, establishment Republicans (& Democrats), globalists, anti-gunners and miscellaneous career insider bureaucrats??? If she tries to push the views of the grassroots she will end up as the most marginalized & ridiculed VP in recent history.
“Voting for McCain-Palin is a no-brainer now.”
Maybe for some, but my sense is that in the long run, a McCain administration will be disastrous for conservatives in the Republican party.
