Here's my two cents.
- You can't teach a political party anything. If you could, Republicans would still be riding the Contract With America horse, we'd have a Fair or Flat Tax, SS would be privatized, and there would be massive Republican majorities in both houses of Congress. I could change parties, stay home in November, or vote Democrat, but how does that advance a single conservative principle?
- Any Republican to the right of Joe Lieberman is better than 100 Democrats to the left of Joe Lieberman.
- 2. All politics is compromise. It may be a search for perfection, but it will never reach the pinnacle. Consequently, I will take any opportunity in a general election to advance a single conservative principle
- Really, wouldn't you rather see a Basset Hound in the White House than a socialist Democrat? I would. The Second Amendment implications alone of a Democrat Senate, House, and White House decide it for me.
- Can you think of a single bad law that a Democrat Congress would pass that John McCain might veto? I can. Can you think of many bad laws that will sail through a Democrat controlled government? I can.
Why/how do I arrive at this point? McCain v. Democrat...
| McCain | Democrat | |
| War/Foreign Policy | 1 | 0 |
| Economy | 1 | 0 |
| 1st Amendment | 0 | 0 |
| 2nd Amendment | 1 | 0 |
| Borders | 0 | 0 |
| Taxes | 1 | 0 |
| Pro-Life | 1 | 0 |
| Pork | 1 | 0 |
Now the way I count it, That's six of eight very important issues I can advance at least a small amount by voting for McCain if he gets the nomination, as opposed to going backward on these six issues if I stay home or vote Democrat.
That's enough for me.
