I am supporting McCain
« on: March 08, 2008, 01:02:30 PM »
Since it is pretty much sewed up that McCain will be getting the nomination for the upcoming election I have decided I will support him and vote for him.

He may not be the ideal candidate that I wanted but he is a hell of a lot better than what the other side is offering.

Like with Bush, I will give him kudos when he is right and criticize him when he is wrong.

I just hope since he is running as a conservative he will be govern as one.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I am going to have to get good and drunk and get a gig damn clothespin for my nose, but for McCain I will vote.

The alternative is inexperience and wither stupid liberalism or merely pure evil liberalism.

I'll definitely be needing an alcoholic beverage or two to survive voting for McCain.   :(

The thought, GAG! If he picks Crist as VP it will be even worse, so hold your noses and close your eyes and pray. We now have become a liberal leaning, cry baby, feel good country. If I could do a write in I would.   :banghead:

Oh thanks for making me puke! Crist?!!
I'm WAS planning to hold my nose and vote McCain as well, mainly because he will seek to WIN the war and not cut and run.
---the only thing that could keep me home is another limp-wristed RINO like Crist.

This election hurts more and more.

I thought that was a given.  I'd vote for Barack Maurice Obama if he had a "R" by his name - just to watch the DUmmie moonbats explode with rage when he wins.

Since the only thing that really matters this time is the three upcoming Supreme Court appointments, I think you should hold your nose one more time.  This time it will be for your daughter's sake.  Her future is at least one degree better in the hands of John McCain.  You owe her that much.

I am going to do my best to support him.  Probably he is going to win (unless he decides, to be fair to the democrat, to step aside so the first woman or person of color can be President) so hopefully I wont have to support him too much.

But I will support him as much as I can.  Or have to.

I don't see why we can't just elect ABCNBCCBSCNNFNCMSNBC News.  They think they run the country anyway and they never question their own motives or anything so there would be a lot fewer insipid questions and the press conferences.

I'm as convinced that he would appoint conservative justices as I am that B. Hussein Obama would.   You have alot more faith in McCain than I do.  I respect your wisdom, however, so please tell me how I'm wrong on this.

A vote for McCain is a vote for conservatism, even if the logic of that escapes you now.  McCain is conservative on some issues.  His desire to protect those issues may bring him to make nominations to the court which share his philosophy.  These nominees would most likely be more conservative than McCain (over all).  McCain will be the one compromising in his selections, having to accept conservatism over liberalism in order to protect what is important to him, such as national security.

On the other hand, you not voting at all in protest is support for Obama or Clinton, whether you think it is or not.  We know neither candidate is beholding to conservatism, in fact, we know they are nothing more than socialists/communists.  Any nominee these two would put forth for the US Supreme Court will be anti-American and quite likely to undermine our constitution every chance they get. 

To not at least go out and vote for McCain for president is a big mistake.  It means you choose to dump the conservatism you can get overboard because you cannot get all the conservatism you want.  You are saying, when you don't vote, that you are willing to accept a socialist/communist president, with all the future horror that entails.  And for what?  What did you prove?  Where is the benefit?  Are you going to still feel good about your "no vote" protest four years from now?

As much as I dislike McCain on some things I at least think there is a 50/50 chance of getting decent court nominees.
No,I don`t think it will be a Scalia but I have no doubt what a President Clinton/Obama would nominate.

If anyone thinks looking to Euro Socialist mindsets for interpretation of our Constitution is a desireable thing then that is likely what a dem President will bring.
Think of how this relates to the WOT as that anti-America,surrender mindset is in play as the SCOTUS reviews the litany of suits that will inevitably be brought by marxist agencys like the ACLU who suspect they now can destroy America from within via a friendly court.

Although future S.C. appointees are extrmely important, the economy is the most important issue in my opinion. There is no comparison between the spend and tax raising platform of the Democratic Party compared to McCain's platform of lower taxes, less government and budget reductions.

Your pocketbook will be severerly affected if Obama or Hillary win the Prez. That lone issue should make you vote for McCain. The S.C. won't mean doodly if gasoline prices go up to $6 a gallon, your income taxes go way up, cut & run in Iraq, the military & intel. budget is slashed to the bone, more gun laws, etc., etc.

Couldn't agree more.  McCain is very pro-life, and it would follw that he would appoint pro-lifers to the Federal bench and the SCOTUS.  It seems to me that pro-life judges also tend to be conservative in other areas.  Roe, the DC gun ban case, eminent domain, the GWoT, and other conservative positions will all suffer if one of the Dems is elected.

I'm fighting my strong beliefs and morals to walk away and not vote, I believe in a system that is being run over by stupidity. We have allowed our election process to be watered down by peoples who do not care about our country and what it stands for.
