Chalk One Up For The McCain Camp
It’s this sort of thing?????? which keeps me from declaring that I will never vote for McCain:
“It was remarkable to see Barack Obama’s hysterical diatribe in response to a speech in which his name wasn’t even mentioned. These are serious issues that deserve a serious debate, not the same tired partisan rants we heard today from Senator Obama. Senator Obama has pledged to unconditionally meet with Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — who pledges to wipe Israel off the map, denies the Holocaust, sponsors terrorists, arms America’s enemies in Iraq and pursues nuclear weapons. What would Senator Obama talk about with such a man?
While McCain didn’t say it personally, a campaign representative did, so as long as McCain doesn’t hysterically repudiate it the way he did the NC GOP ad, I’ll give him credit for it. Maybe Fred! is coaching them on these sort of responses; it sounds like something he’d say.

I think what really concerns me, Laura, is that Obama is such a weak candidate that McCain may win even without our support. Then he will owe us nothing.

One day the man gets it, the next it’s like he’s not even in the same ballgame. I have to admit though that statements like this keep me hanging on. I’m like you, I can’t say I won’t vote for him and I’m probably more in the mindset to say I will vote for him unless an alternative that is actually viable and not just a vote thrown away comes along. It’s a long way to November though.
It’s a schizophrenic season in politics (up one day, down the next, conservative one day, liberal the next) except from the Obama camp. Obama’s on the opposite end of the psychological spectrum, it’s more like the land of the autistic. ( some symptoms of autism are: * Absent or poorly-developed verbal and nonverbal communication skills (inability to clearly express thoughts and needs), repetitive body movements, lack of eye contact (have you ever noticed his blinking and half shaded eyes when trying to answer a question… never looking at the person), various speech pattern abnormalities (*sweetie*) )

Does it make sense to vote for someone (McCain, Obama, or Hillary) that does not support the things you support? All three of these are people of the far left, in favor of world government, open borders, and a host of things that amount to the destruction of the USA as we have known it in the past.
Pottermom says, “I will vote for him unless an alternative that is actually viable and not just a vote thrown away comes along.” How do we tell the Dems and the Reps that we will not support the terrible candidates they are presenting us when we follow the line that Pottermom has just offered? We have to break away from them and vote for a third party. There is no essential difference at all between the Dems and the Reps today, other than the spelling of their names.
I urge everyone to consider Chuck Baldwin and the Constitution Party. This man is a Christian pastor, and he has a reasonable platform that most of us can support, at least in large measure. Even if you don’t agree with everything he says, compare it with how much you agree with the Dem/Rep candidates. We have to break free of the two party strangle hold on America!
