Who do you want as Commander-in-Chief?
Who do you want nominating judges?
Who do you want wielding the veto pen?
Who do you want giving executive orders?
Who do you want issuing pardons?
Our two realistic choices are Obama or McCain. There are plenty of people who don’t like McCain for many different reasons. But as much as we’d want McCain to have a different record and different policies in some areas, Obama is even worse. I can’t think of a single issue on which Obama is more conservative than McCain.
I know some of you think that sitting on your hands or voting for a third party candidate will send a message to the GOP leadership. Maybe it will. But it will also be sure to get Obama elected, and then he will be…
--The Commander-in-Chief… one who thinks that talking and hugging will get genocidal maniacs to change.
--Nominating judges, including Supreme Court justices… ones that will be sure to expand the power of the government at the expense of the individual, the family, and the employer, yet will limit our military and intelligence agencies in their fight against foreign terrorists.
--Vetoing any good conservative legislation and budgeting that makes it to his desk.
This could bring irreversible damage. Once government limits a freedom, once a new government program is started, it is extremely difficult to make a reversal or a positive change. Once a terrorist attack occurs, those people are dead and that property is destroyed.
You don’t have to love McCain. You simply have to recognize his Presidency will not be as bad as an Obama Presidency. Third parties are not a realistic option. Our choice is voting for the most conservative, or in this case, the less Leftist. Build up viable conservative candidates for future elections. But for 2008, we will choose either Obama or McCain.
Better McCain than Obama.
