McCain Not Tipping The Scales; Not Even Barely

McCain came out the clear winner in yesterday's (Super Tuesday) voter block of the Republican party. Overall, however, he's not garnering enough support at this present time to put the Republican ticket over the top. Wonder why? Well, quite simply, and for good reason, the Conservative base doesn't favor McCain because of his quasi-Conservative position on the issues. McCain wants to cut government spending, yet he wants to continue spending programs that are still government funded. In particularly, on the environment. Several billion, maybe trillions of dollars go into environment alone. Some, so-called "Conservatives," have said that McCain's past is "not an issue now." Well, there's also a saying that goes, 'Those who forget their past, are doomed to repeat it.' or continue down the same path into the gutter. McCain's past may not be that big of an issue now, but I refuse to concede in any such manner thereof, because we're talking about the future of the United States, when his decisions WILL be an issue. America is on the brink of virtual moral chaos. Therefore, we need someone who will come forth with a straightforward, clear choice on where they stand in this election.

So, what does McCain need to do to get the nomination?

First and foremost, he needs to be 110% supporting Life in the womb.

In 1999 Senator McCain said this - In the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in American to undergo illegal and dangerous operations."

You have to keep in mind, nine years is not that long of a time period, since he took that position. So, given his position then, it's likely, that even though he would most likely appoint Judges to the bench who would craft a Ban on Abortion, given his position then, which probably isn't any different today, that if that ban reaches his desk he will not sign it. The reason I say this, is because of his next statement - question and answer in the debates...

Would you expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research?
A: I believe that we need to fund this. This is a tough issue for those of us in the pro-life community. I would remind you that these stem cells are either going to be discarded or perpetually frozen. We need to do what we can to relieve human suffering. It's a tough issue. I support federal funding. Again, another big, government funded project, one that supports Murder.

As you may notice, unlike President Bush, Senator McCain isn't willing to come forth in full support of Life. Make no mistake, you can't have it both ways, you can't say this - “I’d like to have less intensity on this issue.” Then turn right around and support embryonic stem cell research, which requires the taking of a human life. There's no second guessing, if you want the Lord to be proud of you, then you've got to prove it to Him, not just through words and gestures, but through deeds. We are directly responsible to God for the Life that he has so graciously blessed us with, and He expects that we treat others with that same appreciation, dignity, honor, and respect.

Another interesting stance Senator McCain takes, again, another very Liberal issue, as most residents of Massachusett's are aware of, is the issue of Marriage. Only one time, during the '06 decision to ban or prohibit same-sex marriage, to my recollection, did John McCain vote for it, the other 95% he voted to allow it. In regards to homosexuals in the military, McCain said this - Don't ask, don't tell is working; don't tamper with it. You might remember where don't ask, dont tell came from. Yep, you guessed it, William Jefferson Clinton, or as he's better known now, Slick Willy.

This is what Senator McCain said about Republicans regarding a ban on same-sex marriage - Ban on same-sex marriage is unRepublican; leave it to states.

Say that again? unRepublican?!?!? I don't know who you mean Mr. McCain, by Republicans as being "unRepublican," but it sure isn't the Born-Again Believers in this country, that are Conservatives. I can tell you that much, for a fact. Family is the unifying issue that strengthens America. Let's not throw America to the dogs of society, by redefining marriage down into the muck-pit of the world.

These are the reasons I don't trust Senator McCain, folks, and if you can't trust someone, mainly, because of the simple reason that they don't want to stand up for God-fearing values, and they wind up being the "decider," then we're in trouble.

Now, whoever you are out there, and you are reading this, I don't know where you stand on the issues, but if you're a Christian Conservative, then you're likely to be just as disappointed as I am about the turn of events unfolding. The vast majority of you, however, have shown that you favor McCain over any of the rest of the candidates, given this, you are the moderate to Liberal Republican. Not much of a surprise, consdering where McCain stands on the Social issues. Not good news for the overal GOP turnout, though, but I may be wrong...At any rate, the way I see it, if you've got two Liberals running against each other, one from the GOP, one from the Democratic side, then voters will most likely say, "Who is more Liberal?," and thus, likely go with the Democrat contender.

If this trend holds, and I'm right, then it will prove how much Liberalism has really damaged our colleges and universities, and America will be totally defamed.

Wait ... there's hope, McCain gets the nomination, and he will listen to the Conservative base on the social issues? Then we're in the clear! A Huckabee win would be phenomenal, and one that I would rather see. Why? Because he's not a Romney phoney, and he's not a "somethin' smells fishy" McCain, either. Mike is a genuine, and trustworthy man of his word.
