I was watching Fox News this morning during breakfast. They showed the results of a poll of Republican voters that indicated that John McCain had a significant lead nationwide over Romney with Huckabee third. It made me wonder, where have the conservatives gone?<\/p>\n
McCain in my book is more liberal than many of the Democrats. There’s McCain-Feingold that works to limit free speech and free expression coming into elections. Then there’s McCain-Kennedy that would have given Social Security benefits and amnesty to illegal aliens, not to mention his constantly voting against tax cuts during his tenure in the Senate. That makes Mr. McCain pretty liberal by any yardstick. I’ve seen John McCain interviewed and honestly he seems like a pretty nice guy. He seems to have a pretty good sense of humor and appears to be very self effacing. I have to admit, I have a great deal of respect for John McCain for his service to his country. He was a fighter pilot in Vietnam and a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. However, he does appear to have had some really bad luck in his career as a pilot, from what I understand he has about four more take-offs than he does landings!<\/p>\n
Also, today we got a phone call from the McCain campaign, a message recorded by Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, voicing his support and urging our support for “my friend, John McCain.” Saxby was working hard for the McCain-Kennedy legislation when it was first proposed in the Senate. But somewhere along the line Senator Chambliss’ support wained for the bill, it could have had something to do with the negative feedback he got from is constituents in Georgia. I for one wrote several letters to Senator Chambliss and Senator Isakson expressing my opposition to the bill.<\/p>\n
If McCain is the best the Republicans have to offer, then you better be ready for higher taxes, amnesty for illegal aliens, socialize medical care, and other very costly liberal programs. (Somebody please show me where the US Constitution guarantee’s the right to health care.) Either way, if Hillary or Obama, or McCain wins, it’s all about the same result!<\/p>\n
