Peddler,
Your Solomon analogy is off a bit. The baby is not the Republican Party, but America. One mother is the Socialist Democrat party, the other is McCain. And, McCain is the one surrendering the baby to the Socialists. Not to preserve the baby’s life, but to “accomplish bipartisanship”. And, he does so proudly, wearing the mantel of “maverick”, not with the humbleness of a mother saving her child’s life.
Nothing will take us down the Socialist sewer quicker than McCain. Take a look at what it took for a moderately conservative congress to take hold – 8 years of Bill Clinton. Take a look at what it took for the Republicans to throw that away, 8 years of a moderate George Bush. The RNC learned nothing. Nothing.
For the first time in my 40 years of voting, I am faced with not a single individual that I believe has America’s best interests at heart – no one. All will lead us down the European Socialist road, ALL OF THEM. All will hand our sovereignty over to millions of illegal, uneducated and criminal people in the name of compassion. All will subvert our security by dumping Gitmo, gutting our military and walking away from the fight. And yes, this will happen with McCain because he does not have the stones nor the horse power to stand against the Socialist Democrat party. All will limit our free speech through McCain/Finegold and, I am confident, an attack on talk radio and bloggers political speech. All will hand over our sovereignty to the UN and the world via Koyto and, as has already happened, the LOST treaty. All will grow our dependence on foreign energy supplies by refusing to drill for our own resources, restricting construction of refineries and refusing to accelerate the construction of nuclear plants.
These concerns are the bed rock of John McCain. Nothing in his record would indicate a willingness to bend on any of these items. He should not have to convince me that he has had a change of heart, he should show me his record as proof of where his heart is – and he has.
As for me staying home on Election Day, why would I do that? I will vote for the most conservative Senator and Congressmen I can find or I actively find/support candidates to replace them. I will and actively do work to eject those who are now “moderate” or left of center. I blog, talk, argue. I am on my county’s Republican committee. And, Fred Thompson will get my write in vote for President.
