Get a Good Look

Uh oh! I used Uncle Sam - y'all know this is gonna be political! lol ;)

The current political climate is an odd one; it's certainly one that no one predicted. It was supposed to be Hillary vs Guiliani, remember? Maybe Hillary vs Romney, if the Republicans decided to grow a vertebra - as in singular, witless, whimpy wonders that they are.

While half the left worships Obama as their messiah, Kennedy's Second Coming, and guaranteeing that if he DOESN'T win, it means that America hates blacks - Period. Because that's logical, and it would have nothing to do with his policies - a good portion left secretly hate-hate-hates that he beat Hillary! Hillary hates that he beat Hillary! There's still talk of manuevuring behind the scenes, talk that she may yet steal the nomination. Hubba hubba, dooba dooba! to quote Maja Rushie. Wouldn't that be a riot? Literally.

...

Okay, and figuratively, too.

But over here in tighty-righty land, the infighting is incredible. Republicans attacking conservatives, conservatives lashing out at Republicans, Republicans questioning the loyalties of conservatives, conservatives leaving the party (*raises hand* such as me), talk of crossing over to vote FOR Obama. And the Libertarians step in the middle believing it's their chance to take over the Republican party, so everyone turns against them.

Yes indeedy, this election sure is different.

And so the question was asked by Republicans to Conservatives: Really. Why are you so emotional about not supporting McCain to the point of helping Obama?

Excuse me?! Well, I answered. And it's a pretty comprehensive answer. You know what the funny thing is? I swore I'd never vote for McCain because he's McCain, but now my main fight with him is actually the party he's leading off a cliff. They want me to really fight against McCain? I'll fight against McCain and publicly spread this! 

Besides, some of you have asked me why I refuse to support McCain: Well, here ya' go! Read allll about it! I wash my hands of the Republican Party until they can show me a reason to support them.

 

Because I'm tired of being told that you toe the party's line or you don't love your country. Drink the KoolAid and be a good little Republican Robot. Fund the party and its leaders which continuously abandon the core conservative principles. Bow to the liberalization (that a word?) of the party. And don't you dare say a thing. Nope. You just be grateful that he's better than the other guy here, there, and sort of over there.

Because I'm tired of being told we have no other options. YES, we do! And until we as a country see that, I'm not going to be a party to anymore of its destruction!

Because I refuse to vote against someone based on FEAR. McCain will damage this country with his liberal agendas and domestic policies. Obama will damage the country with his socialist domestic AND foreign policies. Though I doubt we'll be nuked from the face of the earth like so many of you "McCain is our savior" types suggest. Yeah, we'll go down a bit farther with Obama, but one man doesn't have that much power to DESTROY this nation. I have much more faith in America and her ability to bounce back. I'd rather the destruction be placed on the Dems.

And you know what the funny thing is? Much as I agree that the left is treating Obama like the Messiah, the Republicans are doing the EXACT SAME THING for McCain: He's our only hope! Ohhhh save us, McCain, from the EVIL Obama!! Obi Wan Kenobe, maybe. HA!

And the most simple of them all: McCain is not conservative ENOUGH! I DO have the right to demand that of any person I choose to vote for, and it IS a valid reason. I've compromised before, and look where we are, now. Spending out the wazoo, our sovereignty as a nation in danger, and a RINO for our "conservative" nominee. I refuse to support anyone with such blatant liberal leanings, who has no resolve to stick to the principles of conservatism. No, he'd rather be a MAVERICK and "reach across the isle" than respect the people who put him where he is. I doubt he even has principles - or they're not as important as fawning press. 

You might have a valid point IF I wasn't also lambasting Obama. So what? Doesn't that mean that I'm also helping McCain get elected by your logic? Or does this only apply to McCain? Must EVERYTHING revolve about McCain? Tell me this: WHY should I help someone get elected by remaining mum to anything I disagree with him about, essentially giving up my freedom of speech for The Party, when I don't support him? I'm doing him no more harm than I am good, and in all honesty, there's more being said publicly about Obama that I'm able to go after than the infighting within the Republican camp.

Here's the thing: if McCain loses, he loses because he can't rally his BASE behind him. This backwards logic that it will be the base's fault is the antithesis of what a LEADER is supposed to be and nothing more than a weak guilt trip. An attempt to shift the blame elsewhere. Surprise of all surprises: another libbie tactic.

I really couldn't care less which one gets elected; I support neither and both are no good for this country in that position. You have to earn my vote. McCain has not done that. Obama has not done that. Neither ever did. So don't preach to me that it will be MY fault that EITHER of these two clowns holds the office. It's yours. I didn't choose him. And I'm not supporting either. Y'all are on your own; I'm merely a spectator, subject to whatever you decide.

 

And so help me, if one more libbie claims this as a victory for themselves, it will not be pretty. The libs have nothing to do with this.

Do you know, Bob Barr, the Libertarian, is actually polling 6% already? He won't win, but he's got some real potential to shake things up for the Republicans. I need to look into him more; he doesn't have the greatest voting record for a Libertarian, being a former Republican, but he's apparently mended his ways regarding the Federal government's role as morality police.

I've been hearing a lot about Bob Barr, but I haven't made it to check him out yet, though I've been meaning to. There are some people singing his praises, but also a lot that aren't remotely satisfied with him, which I believe is attributed to his former Republican roots. I dunno if I could forgive the Libertarians for what they did to our District Meeting enough to place a vote, either.
