Advice for John McCain
If Arizona Senator John McCain wants to win the White House come November he needs to sit up and take heed of what some people have been saying. There is an important group of voters that he needs to befriend and assure that he will not throw them under the bus. Social Conservatives. He has all but ignored us, especially here in Iowa where he skipped the Iowa Caucuses. This has not endeared him to social conservatives across the country; instead it has alienated many of us. He has continually ignored us and thumbed his nose at our beliefs. This is not the way to win the White House this November. The only reason that he has ratings anywhere close to the two Democrats is because they seem to be intent on destroying not only each other but their party as well.
Without the millions of social conservatives across this country Senator McCain does not stand a chance come November. He is known as being soft on illegal immigrants; he sure doesn’t seem to have any moral values. These two issues do not make him the ideal candidate for President from our point of view. Because of this it would make sense for McCain to choose a socially conservative running mate. And yet he has still not chosen one at this time. Many social conservatives are worried that he would choose Rudy or Romney for a running mate. It would be a mistake of catastrophic proportions for him to do this as it would ensure that his campaign would fall in flames.
Social conservatives are the ones that go out to campaign for candidates, how else could former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee defeat Mitt Romney in Iowa, even though Huckabee was outspent by an enormous amount. Think about what McCain could do with that kind of grassroots support, he could handily defeat the Democrats. However this will not happen if he chooses a running mate that is anything other than socially conservative. The thing that McCain needs to realize is that we are not stupid, we know how to effectively use the internet to research his running mate’s political background. This means that he can claim anything that he wants, but we will be able to locate the truth.
The ‘Come To Jesus’ Response
While you are not alone, by any means, with your rightful anger towards and serious concern about McCain, his liberal policies and his choice of running mate, lets really explore how Juan rose to the level of our nominee by default in a Come To Jesus chat of our very own, right here, right now;
Pray tell us, the other two legs of the conservative party stool, exactly why you broke away, as a group, by not only demanding your intentionally limited priorities came first, foremost and exclusively but also, with the added nerve to actually dictate how they must be accomplished through Constitutional Amendments?
You correctly point to the strength you have in numbers so you should also realize that by The Huckster’s clear and resounding defeat that you can not elect a candidate who was only capable of pandering to your exclusive issues. In other words, you intentionally left your friends behind in completely ignoring the fact that there are MANY issues critical to conservative principles and values wherein he possesses absolutely none of them.
You offer you are “not stupid” and “know how to research on the net” then, why didn’t you all know that seeking Constitutional Amendments are;
1) WRONG to attempt according to the instructions of our founding fathers who specifically offered ‘Federalism’ as the means for us to limit bad science and bad law which is inevitable to crop up on occasion in a democracy straying from a republic through judicial activism and/or over-reaching legislators.
Treat the cause, never the symptom. Appoint only strict constructionist judges who will interpret the law but, will never make new law according to our Separation of Powers which protects democracy and forestalls tyranny. Stick to the remedies provided by the men who designed the government or there will be ‘unforeseen’ and tragically unwanted ramifications.
2) IMPOSSIBLE to obtain the supermajority vote required evidenced by our previously wrongheaded attempt to pass a pro-life amendment at the time we had the largest majority in Congress we’ve ever enjoyed. The NRLC saw this was the truth and gave their full support to the candidate who showed them that accomplishing goals in the federal government is an incremental endeavor, inthat they must be gained a little at a time with the right plan or it will blow up in our faces wherein if we’re very lucky will only set us back and not into total chaos.
Therefore, banging our heads against the wall in futility with religious as well as other GOP “leaders”, such as James Dobson and Paul Weyrich, publicly dictating we will reverse or prevent society’s moral decay by demanding candidates platform be based upon quick-fix pipedreams is not remotely close to intelligent nor is it demonstrating we are capable of our own governance.
Further, for social conservatives to support the Huckster who once took his stance with Federalism only to flip that correct position to pander to the uninformed merely for their votes is unconscionably immoral at face value. In so doing and seeing the same type of depravity ( and much worse ) in his past and records, he has vividly demonstrated that he is not worthy of occupying the office of the presidency…nor any other public office.
This all leads us to how we wound up with McCain as our nominee. The following articles continue the explanation of our current situation so, let us now see if you really can be smart and also put the effort out to actually be informed in realizing social conservatives have only to look at themselves for the great amount of the ‘credit’;

Now, if you’ve finished the research, that had to be handed to you after the fact, remind yourself of how angry you are at McCain to merely take a wild guess at how angry your like-minded friends ( that you left behind ) are with you for handing McCain to US!
The “Voice of Change” Chokes America
April 12, 2008
Obama: ”…they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
So! Barack Hussein Obama, the “voice of change” declares, among many things, there must be something wrong with us if we won’t give up our firearms. Yet, this statement exposes so much more than that but, it sure is the promise of change….isn’t it.
Obama was clearly attempting to use reverse psychology in ‘excusing’ the small town folk in Pennsylvania ( and the rest of America ) for not voting for him in his listed reasons but, he’s spending time today trying to control the serious fall-out but, not even he is slick enough to escape from it by anyone who doesn’t applaud and cheer when he blows his nose.
In trying to diffuse what he believes are the reasons Americans refuse to vote for him, he has in fact inadvertently revealed exactly what he thinks about us. ( The valid reasons not to elect Obama Jr. are merely that he is woefully unqualified, pitifully inexperienced and therefore categorically incapable of the daily demands of the highest office of the land. )
“they cling to guns” = Obama Jr. clearly doesn’t trust loyal, law-abiding Americans to be armed and/or thinks there’s not enough violent crime and danger of same to warrant the ownership of guns for our own defense?…are we not worthy enough for an inalienable right? Are we nothing more than potential criminals who are merely waiting for a chance to shoot someone…someone “unlike us”?? ( inwhich he’s likely suggesting by default might be someone like him. )
“or religion” = Here he probably suggests his own religion of the last 20 years will be held in disdain, or his mothers atheism, or his biological father’s ( and stepfather’s ) muslim religion, by others simply because it may not be the same religion as our own…he must be confusing us with radical islamic terrorists or perhaps, someone he has announced as his own father figure, Jeremiah Wright.
“or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” = Here he is likely offering Americans are bigoted against inter-racial offspring such as himself…or perhaps he’s referring to people who show blatant disloyalty to America who we would rightly shun.
“or anti-immigrant sentiment” = I would bet this refers to our holding his biological father’s nationality ( Kenya ) or his stepfather’s ( Indonesia ) against him. Since we’re a nation of immigrants the only other subject he could be talking about is illegal aliens and amnesty. Forget it Junior, we crashed the senate phone system to stop our own president from forcing legislation through and no one is going to do that to us or our sovereignty again.
“or anti-trade sentiment” = Here in his final listing he suggests that people in areas which have experienced job-loss blindly blame any offshore trading or products for their own unemployment but, he’s not talking about a few uninformed citizens, he’s talking about entire communities and state populations who are completely ignorant of the several issues involved with international trade, business and our economy.
This whole thing is not about what we’re thinking of him, it’s who he thinks we are and the untrusting, hateful view he clearly has of us.
Well, if I was asked to point to someone who most closely matched the definitions of bigot and racist it wouldn’t be the folks from small town Pennsylvania…it’ld be Barack Obama Jr.
Knowing much that isn’t so
April 12, 2008
Ronald Reagan’s famous “A Time for Choosing” address was a speech that was delivered on a number of speaking occasions during the 1964 U.S. presidential election on the behalf of Republican candidate Barry Goldwater. It was given many times, and Reagan altered it during his many campaign stops, so several versions of the speech exist. But perhaps the most famous version was delivered to the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco as a nominating speech for Goldwater. Known by two titles, “A Time for Choosing” and “Rendezvous with Destiny”, it was such a landmark address that it also became known as simply “The Speech.” Its text is rich with well-known Reagan quotes. One of my favorites is:
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.
Liberals are not very good at checking facts. Is it because they are lazy or willful prevaricators? I’ll cut them some slack here. I believe that liberals tend to get things wrong so often because they come to believe so much in their preconceived notions that they never question the actual facts behind what they say. Why bother to look something up if it “feels right” and you “just know” that it’s so? That’s not lying; it’s just that liberal elitism at work.
This is how Hillary Clinton can claim that on her 1996 trip to a U.S. military base in Bosnia she remembers landing under sniper fire and having to run and duck bullets, when CBS news footage actually shows a much more serene scene. Mrs. Clinton can be seen walking calmly from the Air Force C-17, being greeted by a line of local dignitaries and meeting 8-year-old Emina Bicakcic, who read a poem in English for the visiting first lady. There wasn’t a stray gunshot, mortar round or exploding land mine to be see or heard. But Sen. Clinton just knows that she is the better foreign policy choice in the battle between her and Sen. Barack Obama that her conjured-up image of a more dangerous arrival in Bosnia is seared, seared in her brain.
Obama has made some claims of his own that are just as divorced from actual events. He has repeatedly and falsely claimed that he was a law professor at the University of Chicago, when he was actually an untenured senior lecturer. He has claimed credit for nuclear leak legislation that never passed. Even his fellow organizers say that Obama took too much credit for his community organizing efforts.
Willard And The Huckster To Emulate Fred Thompson
April 10, 2008
In their continuing effort to endear ( more aptly “force” ) themselves upon conservatives in future elections, both Willard Romney and The Huckster are attempting to emulate the life accomplishments ( that are available to them ) of the only indisputable conservative they’ve instinctively followed and yet unsuccessfully mimicked in the past, Fred Thompson. Although they’re deflecting, as best they can, Fred’s selfless and sole intent in running by “heeding the call” when many stood up and asked him to, the two clones motivation on the other hand is entirely self-serving. Additionally, without the strong principles, foundational values, real experience and extensive qualifications which Fred has, what incredible nerve the two wannabes have by putting our country at real risk in their possible presidency’s in how much they can really foul us up…the mortgage crisis, amnesty bill and the war would seem like walks in the park if either one of them slipped in. Further, by offering someone elses plans as their own which can not be implemented or especially their own which would be real flops ( i.e., “Fair” tax, socialist healthcare. ) …but, no sense in letting the cat out of the bag before an election, right? The second most important note to make is the path they’ve taken from the time they entered the race by echoing whatever policy appears to hold the most votes and/or whatever location they happen to be in at the time ( Ask Michigan about Willard on that one. ) Again, by avoiding to take the right position for no other reason than it is simply the right thing to do they will never be conservatives nor should we allow them to refer to themselves as such without a very loud challenge…this definition is certainly not limited to these two clowns as several GOP “leaders” and religious ‘legends in their own minds’ also qualify for this dubious distinction by being ignorant of the overall circumstances in how to accomplish their priority challenged goals within the dysfunctional world that is our federal government…Where ‘My way or the highway’ isn’t by any stretch of the imagination a conservative principle in being exclusively a part of the despotic sniveling brats philosophy of liberalism.
The “Compassionate” Conservatism of Our President Handed Us The Mortgage Crisis.
April 8, 2008
It wasn’t that long ago that our president unknowingly yet, intentionally set the stage for this failure. I believe his effort was genuinely out of the goodness of his heart, however, socialism is a failure no matter who initiates it or what their intentions are. Had he taken a different tact in a less dramatic lowering of standards, predicted declining prices and weighed the ramifications with more scrutiny we wouldn’t need to be bailing out anyone nor looking at tremors from the initial shock of circumstances. ( Yeah, I know hindsight is 20/20 but, when the buck stops at your desk you have to be right everytime….Just for the record; our president has done many good things for the right reasons although the sneak of the amnesty bill with the added name calling of ‘xenophobes’ and even ‘vigilantes’ to volunteers protecting what he was supposed to be protecting still has me frosted beyond thaw. )
In appreciating that 99.928% of home owners are paying their mortgage and of those most have sufficient equity in their homes for having options if any of them were to fall on hard times but, this is certainly not the case for first time home buyers who received the presidential hand-out of a down payment and the further twisting of lender’s arms to approve them for loans when it was obvious to the lenders this inevitable outcome was merely a matter of time.
Now, the same president acts to “save” the mortgage crisis with even more of our taxes from and through his own “compassionate” wrongheadedness but, not even the liberals are calling him on it as doing so would directly reveal their political goal of socialism ( in a large, “caring” parent of government ) is predictably and incontrovertibly a dismal failure.
Further, the same day Senator Murtha was compelled to publicly confess our troop surge had indeed won us victory was also the same day the MSM and elected official spin machines cranked up their old standby of loudly crying that our confidence-based-economy sky was falling. Simply stated, if they can’t lose the war to win the White House, they’ll destroy our economy to win it…they simply don’t possess any principles or values to know right from wrong.
Here is a mere sampling of the record of our president’s intentions and actions…cause and effect folks, it’s not rocket science;

Obama - “Ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.”
April 7, 2008
Yeah, this is the liberal whine all over again but, this clown wants to take us back to owning Flintlocks. Liberals said they learned their lesson ( that we had to teach them ) and even showed a marked improvement ( by not talking about infringing our rights further which doesn’t mean they didn’t plan on it ). Yet, herein walks Barack Hussein Obama…read all about this ignorant and treasonous clown for yourself…Then make sure every single one of the 80 Million firearms owners and their families know Obama wants to take your guns;
