I almost had my mind wrapped around the notion of voting for John McCain for President despite my mis-givings. If you would have told me two years ago I'd vote for him I would have laughed out loud at the thought. In a previous blog or a comment to someone else during the primaries I even said I would NEVER vote for John McCain.....enter Burak Obama. I put some salt and pepper on those words as I ate them. I felt I had no choice but to vote for McCain, the alternative was unthinkable. I said then and I repeat here, this voting for the lesser of two evils stuff is wearing mighty thin. I argue with fellow conservatives that say we have to "lose to win", the idea being let Obama win and it will usher in another Reagan revolution. There may not be an "after Obama." Crazy...right? I'm not so sure. Anyway, I'm moving off the point I want to make in this particular piece.
Like I said, I finally think I've got myself talked in to voting McCain, especially if he picks Romney or a more conservative running mate. I had even begun to feel good about it on some levels. I still have problems with McCain but overall I told myself, I can live with him for four years. Then........
Today the Republican party adds Global freaking warming as a PLANK in the Republican party PLATFORM!!!
I think I've had it. I'm a man without a party. I don't know that I'll bother to go vote 3rd party and now I'm back to wondering if ....and that's capital IF, I can vote Republican this time. I don't know what I'm gonna do. This Global warming hoax is nothing more than a vehicle for U.N. taxation.
One of the (many) reasons I wouldn't vote for Obama was his citizen of the world mentality. I don't want to hand over American sovereignty to the United Nations. I have no desire to be a citizen of the world!! I left the Democratic Party when it left me. It seems the Republicans are intent on leaving me too. This time I don't know where to go. Guess I'll just cling to my God and my guns and see where we go from here.
Go ahead John McCain, make it easy on me, pick a liberal running mate....then if I'm not already....... I'm done!
Just my opinion,
Bill
