McCain: So we cool, dawg? .... Not exactly

I have made my choice to vote for McCain. It was refreshingly challenging to actually think about the consequences of my vote. I weighed voting, not voting and getting others to vote McCain while I held my vote in protest.

I agree with McCain on a slew of issues. There are other things I disagree with him on. Immigration and campaign financing to name a couple. But on the war, yes. Taxes, Yes. Abortion, Yes. Traditional Marriage, Yes. His choice for VP, Yes.

The issues on Obama however, I cannot think of any issue I agree with. The War, No. Abortion, No. Affirmative Action, No. Reparations, No (He said he does not believe in Reparations, which is true, but only because his extremely leftist mind thinks reparations are TOO LITTLE), Immigration, No. Foreign Policy, No. Health care, No. In fact, give me an issue he stands by and you will hear nothing by, "NO" from me.

But don't think I will let old Johnny off the hook. His pick of Sarah Palin did not please me because she is conservative. It pleased me because it showed his ability to listen to his base. I am not saying to be controlled by his base, but that he has the ability to listen to the people. We conservatives also took stances against the current President, GWB, on issues like port security, immigration (in which he was agreement with John McCain, and Ted Kennedy **shudder**), and Harriet Miers.

If McCain tries to give the Illegals amnesty, we will be there to knock him down (along with the democrats who will try to knock anything he does down because they are petty weak creatures).

I will be voting for Senator McCain, and I have even volunteered my time for his campaign. But don't think I won't call him on anything remotely liberal that he tries.

The Dems Are Confused, the Right Is Fired Up

Sarah Palin's selection in the GOP Veepstakes has surprised a lot of people. Especially the left. So certain that she will doom McCain's campaign, they talk about her as a choice endlessly. In fact, I am at work typing this and I am currently listening to my ultra leftist co workers try to figure out McCain's pick. Conspiracy theories are running wild, discussions of her so called inexperience are being thrown about and heads are spinning. They talk more about her than Obama's acceptance speech.

I for one am trying to figure out this pick as well. I know there is a strategy out there somewhere. And it ain't trying to get the women vote. Behind every simple intention lies a more complicated strategy.

What I can say about the pick is that it succeeded to do at least two things. Energize the conservative base and still distance the campaign from the Washington insider image.

I look forward to seeing more of this as it unfolds.
