Great job nominating McCain; Now the choice is Obama or Clinton? Say it isn’t so.

Ok Republicans, you did it. You allowed John McCain to 1/3 his way to the GOP nomination for president. Overall, he came out with just over 1/3 of all republicans supporting him. I vote republican because I am a conservative. I believe in certain important conservative positions.
I believe:
-
Taxes are the bane of a good economy.
-
Global warming is, at best, an unproven and shaky theory. At worst, it is a fabrication supported by loonies, socialists, and flim-flam men.
-
Abortion is wrong. It should be reserved for rare cases (related to serious health concerns or cases of rape). Killing a fetus (an unborn human) for parts is equally wrong.
-
Illegal immigration is wrong. It should not be rewarded with drivers licenses, mortgages, free tuition, or amnesty. Employers who take advantage of illegals should be punished.
-
Businesses create jobs, not the government. They are not evil. They should not be taxed and regulated to extinction.
-
Drilling oil in the US will make us energy independant. Turning our food into an inefficient fuel substitute will clearly fail. It is bad for food prices, the environment, car engines, and the economy. The oil companies are not the enemy.
-
Using the same law-enforcement tools on terrorists that we use on organized crime is a good idea (That is, in essence, The Patriot Act)
These are all things that John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama DO NOT believe in. So, who do I vote for? If I vote democrat, at least it would be likely that the GOP will see a mid-term upsurge and maybe conservatives will be able to unite behind one candidate 4 years from now. So it looks like I should consider voting democrat? That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. So, McCainiacs….explain to me why I should vote for this man who has thumbed his nose at my beliefs for so many years. Go ahead….I’m listening….really.

DEBATE? She backed out of one on MSNBC
Let me see if I understand this:the Clinton camp is essentially ignoring the Wisconsin primary in favor of Texas,but wants to gain points for a non-inexistent debate in Wisconsin?
Hill win, we all lose…..I do not like her brand of old mudslinging politics and dragging others down in the mud with her…..she sure plays dirty when she is not crying about something to get votes…..
Clinton refused to debate in NY when she was running for Sen., but I guess that’s ok since no rules seem to apply to her (i.e. Michigan and Fla., not debating, etc.) She just wants free TV time because her campaign’s in trouble. How can she run the country when she can’t even run a campaign? Barack has already proven by his campaign alone that he can bring people together. The people’s voices are being heard and not the voices of Clinton’s special interest groups and lobbyists. Go Barack!!!
PLEASE MY LATINO BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE ARE YOUR FAMILY, NOT HILLARY
35 years….Experience yada yada,…..but tell me this. If Hillary is such a master politician please explain how she ran a simple election campaign 5 million dollars in the red?? Put everything else aside then answer that without the hate.
For the record, I used to be a Clinton supporter.
The Republican Vote is needed. Here’s why:
Yes, John McCain does not support the core social issues of abortion, and same-sex marriage. Maybe. But, he remains a Republican nominee, and if elected, President. IF he wins, he is OBLIGED on behalf of the Republican Party, to keep to the Republican line, and not alienate them. As such, he will NOT approve the Democratic line.
If you vote for Obama and Clinton, they will not have the same restrictions. In fact, the Democratic Party WILL encourage them on. Obama is not so different from the rest of the Democrats. He is master of eloquence, but approves of abortion and the other repugnant core social issues handily.
If, however, you’re hoping for the midstream Republican elections, go ahead. Obama (as he is the likely candidate now) will most likely begin to run the country in the Democratic sense as he could, encourage abortionist and other concepts to the world, and appoint pro-abortion justices in the Supreme Court. There is a likely chance he will fall, or there is more definitely a chance he will not. Scenario? We have a Democratic Executive, Judiciary AND Legislature. Congratulations, the very stem-cell, abortion, same-sex marriages that we have been trying to avoid will be passed to Law.
Notice I’ve mentioned abortion more than five times. It’s just that real a possibility.
The fact is, McCain could be so Liberal he’s Democrat. But he’ll have hellstorm with his GOP Party if he does otherwise. You really want Obama or Hillary? Both of them are probably personally conservative. And BOTH of them will approve unwanted measures.
So, no, there really isn’t a choice about it. If you don’t vote, they win. If you vote wrong, they also win.
Practically it. Sorry if it isn’t any more optimistic.
