Re: is McCain the Lessor of Two Evils?

I hate to say this, but I'm afraid we may have to get used to saying "President Obama." I don't think McCain is a conservative, but he is certainly FAR more of a conservative than either Mrs. "C" or Mr. "O." That being said, if it comes down to it, I'll vote for McCain. I'd rather vote for Huckabee, but he doesn't seem to be a fiscal conservative.

At any rate, we will never have the perfect candidate and if we're waiting for a Oneness Pentecostal to get to the whitehouse, the rapture has a better chance of happening before I post this than that does!!

We just have to choose the best we can. Our major problem is that most of us don't get involved or support candidates until it is too late. What I mean by that is that we should be getting behind young conservative candidates who are running for School Board, City Council, County Commissioner, State Rep, State Senate etc. The guys at the top will only be a result of our effort at the bottom. If we don't get busy and "fill" the pipeline, we'll just have more of the same old "stuff."

And this, my friend, is the one area of this year's election where we conservatives don't have to sit there and take whatever we're served. We can not only make a difference for this year's election, but we can begin identifying the true-blue conservatives at the statehouse levels!

Re: is McCain the Lessor of Two Evils?

IIt is possible to inferentially determine where our opportunities are by determining where the left's risks are. The mainstream media focuses attentiona AWAY from left's risks. They gave a lot of attention to Huck and McCain because they have calculated that neither of them can win in the national election. They avoided Thompson like the plague. It's not good for the left that we're making good progress in Iraq, so the MSM focuses on suicide and violence among returning veterans instead. They are giving absolutely ZERO coverage to the congressional races this year because they know that is where conservatives can have their voice - a voice the leftists hope to deny us.

Re: is McCain the Lessor of Two Evils?

Jim Dobson is a tired old man. McCain is a "lib" but he's ammendable to pressures from the Republican party. With O or Hillary in office all bets are off and watch for them to stack the courts and raise taxes.

Even if you couldn't bring yourself to vote for McCain, there are still a lot of other important races for the House and Senate that need your attention as well. Don't throw in the towel like Dobson and Co. Keep fighting.

Re: is McCain the Lessor of Two Evils?

Barak Hussein Obama for president? The man's first job was as a "community organizer." He opened an office in Houston and his campaign folks led the media into the new digs. Notice the wall behind the desk. What gets me is that no one in the media entourage even thought to ask questions at the time.

No need to watch the whole clip, you can cut when it goes to Hillary.

Here's another office.

When someone in the media finally got up the nerve to ask the really tough questions, here's the response from the Obama campaign:

Only in Texas will you find people this clueless.
