Why should Conservatives vote for McCain?

Posted on February 20, 2008

This seems to be the big question. Why should we Conservatives vote for and work to make John McCain the next President? Because that is what will be required for him to win.

Without the conservative base, if they stay home, Obama will win. There are some claiming that it will be no different, that somehow under a McCain presidency the same sorts of bad things that Obabma wants to do will happen. They claim that because of campaign finance reform, the amnesty bill and his opposing Bush’s tax cuts that every bad liberal idea in Obama’s socialist agenda will magically become part of the McCain Presidential legacy.

I see a vast difference between McCain’s and Obama’s presidential agendas. The first is judges. We can be sure that Obama will litmus test every judge he appoints and they will ALL be pro abortion. McCain’s will NOT.

Obama:Constitution is a living document; no strict constructionism

Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.

Obama:Voted against banning partial birth abortion

Next is vetos, McCain has promised “No new taxes” and to veto any passed by Pelosi and Ried (assuming they hold the majorities).

STEPHANOPOULOS: But under no circumstances would you increase taxes?
MCCAIN: No.

Obama on taxes:

Obama: Raise Social Security taxes

Obama: Taxes Hike for Health Care

Sen. Barack Obama told George Stephanopoulos he would raise taxes

On the war being waged against us by Islamo fascists, would I prefer a war tested veteran who understands intimately the sacrifices of our all volunteer military over Obama (whose foreign policy and military credentials are….?)

Obama [has] gone on record as supporting the “redeployment” of US troops. Two weeks ago, Obama announced a senate bill, “The Iraq War De-escalation Act of 2007,” ostensibly aimed at curtailing the Bush administration’s escalation of the war in Iraq and mandating a “phased redeployment” of American forces to commence by May 2007 and end by March 2008.[I love when openly socialist groups support closet socialists]

I like this quote from Al Regenery:
