How is handing the whole country over to far left liberals a suitable alternative to McCain? What principal is that?

There is a serious difference between McCain and a pure-bread liberal who is bent on destroying ALL conservative values permanently.

Today’s liberal is not like the Bill Clinton’s Presidency. It’s moved radically left… Clinton is now considered a moderated, and loosing it’s power because it’s not radically liberal enough.

The Democratic candidate that is surging now, Obama, is bottom of the barrel liberal. He is about to take power, unless conservatives stop fighting and get serious.

This would give liberals what they will treat as a clear sign from America that is it ready to move sharply to the left. Not slightly to the left.

Cherry picking our candidate is exactly what got us INTO this mess, and if conservatives aren’t careful, they will allow our country spiral out of control.

There is no such thing as a quick recovery from 4 years of radical liberalism unchecked. We may be facing what will take years and years of damage to undo. What’s more, there’s no guarantee that it WILL be undone. Have conservatives completely forgotten Roe v. Wade and other extremely important issues?

Questioning McCain was right and highly useful for a time and a season. Many of us wish we had acted sooner to support Romney or Huck…. But staying home on election day allows liberals a pass to capture all THREE branches of Government. Our kids deserve better out of us.

I’m not asking anyone to sacrifice their own belief or convictions, but we have a serious problem here that requires that we do everything we can to minimize the damage this election can cause to our society.

I’d rather have 50% of McCains ear, than 0% of a liberals ear.

Give it some thought, friends.

That’s a little like saying that when the guy stuck his head up from the barricades that the suddenness of his getting his head blown off seemed unreasonable and unfair.
Prior to stepping up to run for President, McCain was just one of 100…the Senator from Arizona. If I didn’t like him, so what – he didn’t represent my state. When he announced his Presidential candidacy, however, he announced that he intended to represent _all_ of us, no matter which state we lived in. _That’s_ when you started getting the reaction of “not only ‘NO’, but ‘HELL ,NO’ “

If only the Bush team had been smart enough and quick enough to actually say this!

(2008-02-06) — President George Bush today intensified his push for the Senate to approve his $150 billion economic stimulus package because, the president said, “Hillary Clinton’s campaign staffers need those tax rebate checks pronto.”

The remarks come on the heels of news that Sen. Clinton recently loaned her campaign $5 million, and word that some top aides may now work without pay, while rival Barack Obama raked in $32 million in January.

In an impassioned plea to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, Mr. Bush said, “The thought that even one Clinton consultant might go to bed hungry, or have to start shopping at Wal-Mart, should be motivation enough for Sen. Reid to lead his colleagues toward rapid approval of the bill.”

I’m NOT a McCain supporter. I liked Romney’s positions more than McCain’s. In my case, I doubted Romney’s strength of principle and I thought he’d be likely to succumb under any sort of Democrat pressure on most issues.

McCain makes quite a few statements I find just terrible. He takes a few positions I find alarming – especially on the religion of global warming. But on sum I still think his conservative principles are relatively sound, and he’s got proven backbone. Amidst his weaknesses he does have strengths.

My only point was that the *extremity* of the sudden hatred for McCain seemed unreasonable and unfair. But then again, political battles lead to overheated responses, and the last ditch effort to “save Romney” can cause that kind of response.

Some, such as Hannity and Laura Ingraham, were reasonable but perhaps only slightly over the top in their heat. Some, like them, listed their opposition to McCain with compelling point by point arguments. I continue to have deep respect for them and I continue to pay attention to anything they say. Others, and I won’t name them, were simply… utterly ridiculous… to me. They’ve lost any credibility with me and I wonder if they’ll get it back.

Furthermore, all the bad stuff he supports will be more likely to be enacted if HE is President, rather than Hillary. Very few Republicans will vote with Hillary on this nonsense, but many more will use the cover given by President McCain, and they will be joined by the Dems to pass business-suppressing regulations on Global Warming, and a lot of other “stuff”.

I posted on this subject here: http://ogblog.net/index.php/weblog/comments/ann_coulter_says_if_john_mccain_runs_she_will_campaign_for_hillary_clinton/, saying that I think Ann Coulter may well be correct in saying that
the country would be safer with Hillary than McCain. This has
started quite a little discussion with my brother, but he hasn’t convinced me, yet.

Guess I’ll have to mosey over to his blog and see if I can find out something…!

Got a candidate call last night (recorded) – from Sheriff Joe Arpaio. First one I listened to(out of 6 calls). He recommended voting for Romney. That was a bit of a surprise.
