McCain Won, Your Guy Lost – Now Do What’s Best for America
I quit the Republican Party when I moved two years ago. I registered Republican in January so I could vote for Giuliani on February 5. I did not get the chance. I will reregister as “declines to state” again when I get around to it.
I am tired of whiny social conservatives. I have nothing in common with them. They have run the Republican Party for the last 8-10 years and clearly their lip service to fiscal conservatism was just that – lip service. The Republicans became more addicted to pork than the Democrats.
Maybe it’s time to dissolve this marriage of convenience. Anybody ready to start a party based on social libertarianisn, free markets, end to all government subsidies and a strong defense?
In the mean time, I am an adult and will vote for McCain. He has 2 things going for him: his history as a foe of big spending (1/2 of fiscal conservatism) and his understanding of defense issues. That’s better than the 0 things going for either Democratic candidate. I agree with those who say domestic policy will not matter if we have a foreign policy that fails to put American interests first. Bolton, Giuliani, Ted Olson, the list goes on – all now endorse McCain for essentially the same reason: he is our last best hope for a strong foreign policy.
