November 4th 2008!

As a Judeo/Christian Conservative I don't agree with John McCain too often!
For a while I had trouble voting for the left leaning centrist from Arizona.
He doesn't agree with Conservatives on how to solve some of the problems with the Republican party, primarily because he is part of many of those problems.

The problem is not just with overspending, earmarks and the 'Bridge to nowhere' as he so heroically battles.
Sure these are important issues but they are issues prevalent in both parties.
No, the problem with McCain, for Conservatives, goes much deeper than that.
We are not a party of scandal and debauchery any more than the Democrats are.

We are however, a party that owes it's success to men like Grant, Goldwater, Coolidge, Buckley, Roosevelt, Harding, Eisenhower and Reagan. Men who had great vision and moral conviction tempered by conservative values! Sure there have been scoundrels within the movement but the Conservative movement cannot be defined by these rotten few. It also cannot be advanced, as it was by those great leaders, by placating Democrats and reaching across the isle as McCain touted in his primary speeches.

When you are reaching across the isle to people like Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid you are not advancing Conserativism, you are advancing Liberalism. The kind of big government, tyrannical tax code, anti morality, abortion on demand Liberalism we battle in our everyday lives. That's right, Marxist Left style Liberalism is all that benefits from McCain's 'Maverick' reaching across the isle!

So no, I have not been a McCain supporter to this point. I don't believe we should be gentle playground pals with Leftists, I believe we should defeat them in the arena of ideas! They are our ideological enemy and if you are not prepared to go to battle with them you must then be prepared to support or adopt aspects of their agenda! For so long McCain has done just that. But then he gave us new hope.

When McCain chose the most Conservative person in national politics since Reagan to be his VP, the game changed for me and so many others.
We now have a candidate who espouses and embodies those core Conservative values!
Palin is the sugar that helps the medicine go down. Because face it friends we are better off taking a cyanide elixir than sitting back and letting Obama take our country down the Marxist-Socialist road to Communism! Certainly McCain is less than what we want but he does not seek to ruin our country!

Obama whether wittingly or not plans to ruin our nation with his Sol Alinsky style ideals.
Forget the fact that in four years we have learned that Obama surrounds himself with the most radical anti American racist bigots on Earth. Forget even that he will devastate our economy with exorbitant taxes and government will grow exponentially to a power great enough to bring about serfdom.
If possible set aside even the fact that he supports partial birth abortion and voted three times to kill a bill to protect born alive victims of botched abortions!
Instead understand that this man will weaken our military, cut nuclear and ballistic capabilities. While weakening our defenses he vows to support Europe in their
quest to bring the US under UN auspices in the name of global restrictions on carbon emissions.

Each step greatly weakens our ability to defend ourselves, prosper in a free market and support other nations against despotic rulers like Iran in it's pursuit of Israeli desolation!
If Obama wins today, terrorists and despotic leaders will chant his name and dance in the streets! The US Communist party will cheer and radical racist groups will see it as a radical mandate.

Sure we are disappointed with McCain and you know I have never been aligned with his middle to left leaning stances, however, McCain was a war hero and committed his life to service to his country.
McCain believes in a fair resolution to Roe v Wade and Same Sex Marriage by allowing states to determine the law for themselves. He recognizes better than most that we MUST win in the Middle East and that our soldiers need better armor, greater numbers and better pay and benefits! McCain and I differ in some crucial areas but on the most important ones we see eye to eye!

Folks we must pray today this frightful storm passes over us! If you don't like McCain get in line, we all have our differences. But you cannot with good conscience give absolute authority to a power hungry extremist and an inept and morally vapid Democrat Congress! Our great grandchildren will rue the day we followed blindly an empty suit into serfdom.
If we elect this Socialist, the first Leftist EVER to be our President, we deserve the ruin that follows! However, I don't know how to say I'm sorry to my great grandchildren for hoisting such a life of communist ruin upon them.
