John McCain and Barack Obama are miles apart. Therefore, I will back McCain to serve the greater good.
July 2nd, 2008 | by admin |I have, for a long time, been critical of both John McCain and Barack Obama. Like many Christian conservatives I have felt like we’ve been “left behind” during the 2008 presidential election cycle. I’ve had this feeling because there is not a presidential candidate who is solid on all the important conservative social and moral issues affecting our nation.
Despite this fact, the greater good must be served. While it may appear to some that voting for John McCain is choosing between the lesser of two evils, I think I have finally been convinced to vote for McCain.
The only other realistic alternative to John McCain is Barack Obama. Some have made the argument that there isn’t any difference between McCain and Obama as they both have some liberal tendencies. That is a foolish argument. The difference between McCain and Obama is enormous. While McCain may be more moderate than I’d like, Obama is a radical far left socialist.
The differences are most obvious when we consider the types of Supreme Court Justices that each of these candidates has publicly acknowledged they will appoint. John McCain has pledged to appoint justices like Roberts & Alito. Barack Obama has praised Ginsburg, Souter, and Stevens. Given the climate of judicial activism, this is incredibly serious business. With the types of Supreme Court Justices that Obama will appoint we can likely expect massive damage to our nation’s heritage.
All progress on the right to life cause could be lost, constitutional protection for homosexual marriage could be ruled on, second amendment rights may be in danger, first amendment rights for Christians and other people of faith may be in danger, and that’s just the start folks!
We cannot afford the damage of lifetime appointments for radical left wing Supreme Court Justices. Barack Obama would inflict this kind of damage. We know that at least one if not multiple appointments to the court will be made. The radical liberals on the Supreme Court are the ones who are getting older. John Paul Stevens is 87, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 75, Stephen Breyer is 69, and David Souter is 68.
If my words are not convincing, let me share with you two recent sources which have influenced me and my decision to support John McCain this November.
-A recent meeting of American Evangelical Christian leaders in Denver came to a consensus to support John McCain.
-Radio talk show host Dennis Prager lays out reasons for concerned conservatives to support John McCain.

Food for thought! I’ll keep ruminating.

Andy,
You are, to put it simply, a nincompoop.
John McCain may be the worst candidate for president this country has dug up since George “Segregation Forever” Wallace. From what i’ve seen so far, McCain stands for poor judgment, immoral values, shameless profiteering and the exploitation of foreign expatriates.
I will explain.
In a recent Time Magazine interview John McCain is quoted as saying “Well when you get right down to brass tacks, The Karate Kid Part III is quite simply the finest entry in the series. Cobra Kai or die i say!”
This is ridiculous. I will not vote for a man who makes a mockery of our culture with drivel like this.
McCain, in his ludicrous statement, ignores a number of basic facts:
In the first two movies, Daniel San fights for respect and his life. In the third movie he simply has no motivation, a clear violation of Freytag’s Triangle.
In the third movie, Ralph Macchio just is not believable as a recent high school grad anymore. Dude was almost thirty when they filmed it.
The third movie contains obvious plot loopholes such as Daniel San’s bye through to the end of the tournament. In the first movie, Johnny was the champion and he had to fight through. It is simply unbelievable that nobody would complain.
I don’t see how one could possibly elect a man with such obvious deficiencies in movie intelligence and taste.
Obama’s position is that while the second movie offers an in depth look into the life of Mr Miyagi, the first movie is a timeless classic and one of the greatest films of all time.
THIS is a man i can vote for.

I don’t know–there’s talk in the McCain camp that he will either choose Lieberman or a pro-abort republican.
Trust McCain about as far as you can throw him… perhaps not even that far.
