John McCain today told voters they should elect him because America needs a
fighter. "I will fight to take America in a new direction from my first day in
office until my last. I'm not afraid of the fight, I'm ready for it," McCain
said at a rally in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A McCain aide said the rally marks
a return to "basics."How can we expect him to be a fighter when he can't even fight his opponent? The thing about people who try to be friends with everyone is that they are friends of no one.
Don't feel like writing a long blog today. Too exhausted.

McCain says he is a fighter, I am skeptical

Be Strong, Not Mean Mr. McCain
Our liberalized society has over the years grown intolerant of harsh realities. Prepubescent minded adults complain about how unfair the world is. They complain so much, that they believe anyone who spouts fairy tale Utopian gunk from the podium (IE Obama). My friend, an Obama supporter, God bless his ignorant brain, is convinced that once Obama becomes President, all of our enemies (who of course to a liberal nimrod, believes that the evil out there was caused by us) will want to reconsider their ways. The islamofascists will want to talk instead of saw off heads of innocent prisoners while they are still alive. North Korea will, in all it's communist glory, throw away their oppressive government system, which they only enacted to protect their citizens from being corrupted by ideals of American greed. The world will love us again, the polar ice caps will be reborn so that penguins and polar bears can fornicate to Jerry Garcia and all will be right with the world.
My point is, these people live in fairly land. In my world, in John McCain's world and in the world of your average conservative, thousands of people lost their lives on 9/11, Islamofacists make no mention of capitalism or greed, rather Islamic world domination. Like all dictatorships, North Korea seeks nukes as leverage so they can assure their rule does not come to an end. And the liberal courts grant rights to our enemies who fight to destroy rights.
It is not a pretty thing, but it is as real as it gets. McCain needs to express that. The problem is that he can come off mean, and he probably is. Regardless, the media would portray him as a jerk, even if he weren't. Americans, the undecided moderates anyway, may not like partisanship or anger, but they love leadership and patriotism. McCain has that in spades. If only he would spend more time talking about how great our nation is, in contrast to Obama's gloom and hatred for what this country stands for.
He needs to stop focusing on how many times he betrayed the conservative values to show everyone just how bi-partisan he is (which is what Obama wants). Stand up for America! Take charge. Ignore Obama and his fanatics. They do a good job of making fools of themselves. Focus on the realities not your relationship to GWB.
America is in a financial crisis. The vultures responsible for it have been put in charge of fixing it. GWB as well as the GOP fought to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the DEMS stood in the way. We want a leader, Mr. McCain. Moderates want a leader, not a panderer. Obama doesn't pander, he has one of the worst bipartisan records in the senate. 96 Percent voting on party lines, yet he is still more popular. Throw your pre-information age common sense out the window and fight like hell in 08'.

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.
