While John McCain’s
popularity and poll numbers soar, I can’t help but wonder “where the heck have
all the Conservatives gone?”
Are they throwing in the towel? Are they so frustrated about
never having a true conservative candidate that they are simply giving up? It’s
very tempting at times.
John McCain is by no
means a conservative. He hangs his hat on national security issues like the
surge, but please, his ignoring of our own border security actually contributes
to our nation’s lack of security. His position on having troops in Iraq
for up to 100 years is ludicrous. Finally, he can take his “reaching across the
aisle” record of teaming up with Feingold, Kennedy or even Clinton and stick it
where the sun don’t shine! To me, that is not “reaching across the aisle”, it’s
more like “selling out”.
This nation needs a
true conservative leader, one who will take a “classic republican” stance
(you’ve heard of ‘classic rock’? I’m a ‘classic Republican’) and put this
nation back on a traditional course.
Please, if you too are
a “classic Republican”, don’t give up. Rally your friends to get to the polls
and vote for a conservative. I have not been a Romney supporter (I support
Paul), but with McCain’s surge, I’m getting scared. Scared enough to jump on
Romney’s wagon and try to avert the ultimate disaster of electing a
liberal. Electing Romney would be much better
than the novelty of the first woman, the first black man, or even McCain, the donkey in an elephant
suit.
