The time to unify has come

Written by Paul Zannucci on 12:36 PM


The time for unity has come, but not for the Democrats, for Republicans and conservatives. And, no, we don't need to organize a protest vote for Ron Paul. Despite the moaning of the average conservative, there are vast differences between McCain and Obama, and it is at McCain's side that we should stand.


Besides the "Go-Straight-to-Pennsylvania-Avenue" card that a third party would hand Obama, there are, indeed, some pretty compelling differences between McCain and Obama all across the party platforms. In the coming weeks, we'll examine many of these areas in detail, demonstrating why a conservative should be enthusiastic about a McCain presidency. For today, however, we are going to simply take a very brief look at two main reasons why Pitney and I have come out so strongly in favor of McCain.


Judiciary

You can go here to read Pitney's great piece on the selection of judges. The judicial branch of our government has overstepped its intended boundaries regularly and repeatedly. It is part of liberal pragmatism that they will take their victories any way they can get them. The ends justify the means even if the means rapes out constitution, and having judges legislate from the bench definitely falls under that category.


Security

Obama's plans for a whirlwind love fest with the axis of evil speaks for itself. If you find a cobra in your bed, you don't grab a flute and try to win it over. Liberal naivete is fine--it's what makes them cute and kickable. But it is not okay in the role of Commander-in-Chief. Obama can dance around the campaign trail dropping rose petals out his bottom all the way to November, but the reality is something altogether different. If you don't stand strong against your enemies, then you will not long stand at all.


McCain for President. McCain for America. McCain 2008.

Time to make my choice

Written by Anonymous on 5:10 PM

Where do I stand? With the democratic primaries drawing to a conclusion (I think), the time draws near to make my decision. Even today I have on ongoing internal battle over voting for McCain. In my humble opinion he has spent way too much time in the middle compromising. I wish my dream of a true blue conservative would have come true but that is not the way the cookie crumbled. I am left mulling over a so called moderate maverick.

My choice will be to step in the booth and pull the lever for McCain. For me the most important consideration is Supreme Court nominations. Presidents come and go but the judges they choose last well beyond their administrations. Several of the current judges are in failing health and may retire soon. As a country we can not afford to have the highest court in the land take a further turn towards making law. We can not afford justices who believe the Constitution is a living document. We can not afford to have justices who are more than willing to overturn the “will of the people” to further a personal political agenda.

My friends we can not afford to elect Obama (or Clinton) for fear of their nominations. I can assure you any judge they set forward will absolutely support the radical left agenda. We will be staring down the face of having to accept homosexual marriages, radical gun control, limited speech, minority rules and on and on and on. I hope if nothing else this scares you to the booth to vote against a long standing push to the left. We must at all costs protect the Presidency until we have moved the Court back to a group of strict constitutionalists.

I realize that McCain is not many of our first (or even second) choice but we can not let that stand in our way. He is our candidate now and we must insure he is elected. The “religious right” must get off their duffs as they have in the last two elections and protect themselves. If a country allows moral decline they are only a step away from collapse. If the court moves any further to the left we will see the principles of the “Ten Commandments” upon which our laws are founded completely trampled under. I for one will not let this happen. I believe we still have a chance to turn this decline around and my vote against Obama is one of many steps I will take to stop the slide. God Bless America.
