Rory, how on earth can you claim that McCain is the worst candidate of all time. Sure, he may not be the ideal conservative choice, but in this specific election he is the best choice. The fact that Republicans have stayd afloat this long in the campaign is a miracle alone. President Bush has a 29% approval rating, and the entire country has turned their back on the Republican party. As much as we might not agree with all of the things John McCain does, has done or will do, the fact of the matter is, John McCain is our party’s nominee. Who else would have been a better candidate? Mitt Romney would have split our party in half, removing the crucial evangelical vote we need, and distancing social conservatives. Mike Huckabee would have distanced the independents, due to his strong social conservative side, and Rudy Giuliani is well…Rudy Giuliani.
My point is that John McCain although he may have slipped this weekend and over the past two weeks, is the best choice for out party right now. Maybe we won’t win the election, but no other candidate would have fared as well against Barack Obama. If Clinton were running, no candidate would be within 10 points of her, luckily we were thrown Obama, and McCain has fought a very tough fight.
McCain after all is a fiscal conservative, he may not be the most fiscally conservative Republican out there, but he still believes in lower taxes, a cease to re-distribution of wealth and more people keeping more of their hard earned money. If you’re main issue is fiscal conservatism the fact that he chose Sarah Palin alone, is good enough reason to vote for him. John McCain has been a maverick, he has crossed party lines and has worked for the better of the American people. He put country first, above party, above self interest and always will keep the American people in mind. You may not agree with him, but you must support him, or else our country may be doomed. Socialism as you stated Rory will almost be ignited in the US if the democrats control the house, senate and white house. We must stop that at all costs, or else our capitalist society, which is already in disarray will be put on the brink of extinction.
As much as you might not like John McCain, he is the only man out there on our side, that can swing votes our way and make sure that America stays safe and secure. Barack Obama will manipulate our system and people, and the only way to stop that is by supporting and voting for Senator John McCain.
Even Ronald Reagan made decisions that I’m sure you disagreed with, but when it all came down to it, Reagen was a great President. Every politician that we support has positions that we may not like, but we must try our best to put those feelings aside, and if it comes down to it, hold your nose and vote. Rory, i know you can’t stand Barack Obama, so why take a chance?
