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.

And then...there was another.

I just registered to vote a few days ago. On my way home from work, I passed a man on the streets of San Francisco asking people if they wanted to register to vote. But even more startling to me is that he was from the GOP. Right there in the middle of San Francisco. I was thrilled. It was so great to see another conservative. Or at least a member of the GOP.

Now, this may shock some, but I generally register Independent. The reason being that I am not a "party loyalist". If the GOP does something I don't like, I am vocal about it. But I figured, what they heck, I'll register as a Republican this time. The way I see it, the way the Democrats are heading. I will NEVER vote for one. (Exceptions being Zell Miller or maybe, if it was between Hillary and Joseph Lieberman, I would chose Lieberman)

I especially like the fact that they took precautions to make sure my vote couldn't be forged. Schwarzenegger may be a RINO, but hey, what other choice would I have. Everyone one else is pretty much a disciple of Mao or Stalin anyway.
