I remember all the messes made by Perot and Nader, although I was new to the States when Perot happened. I also read earlier about Nader finally going for it. It will be interesting to watch- I'm already fascinated with the barbs between bama and hill. They're getting a little nasty now- no more mr/mrs nice and tolerant people. God Bless you Dave- with a wonderful week, and I pray He helps us out of the mess we've made in this country! Excellent Post Dave- and a good call to action too.

We've talked about that before and I'm not going to change my values just to see someone who calls himself a Republican get into office. As one of your other posts read... God puts kings into office. You and most of the other folks that write in probably say I'm throwing my vote away and maybe so. As you said before vote your conscience, that is why you rallied behind Thompson. Why change now? Is he still not your first choice? Dave,

He learned his lesson on immigration; he took the beating. Others in the GOP or Dems who say they learned their lesson didn't take the beating McCain took. I give him credit there so I've come to an agreement there; but I will still use the Reagan approach...Trust but Verify. 2. He good on abortion and although he was in favor of embryonic stem cell research, new discoveries have made that obsolete and no longer a real issue. 3. National defense...the Democrats have clearly stated that they will leave Iraq early. I know pundits are saying they won't be able to, but are you going to trust them? I got one word for that: Vietnam. 4. Taxes - McCain did vote against the Bush tax cuts but he's vowed not to do so again. I do like his stance on cutting wasteful spending from the budget. He is troublesome as is Huckabee for his reliance on government, but so was Bush. 5. We cannot, cannot allow the Democrats to regain complete power. They have the courts now and there will be as many as 3 seats up for the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will be liberal for the next 20 years if we lose this election. Some say, oh well, they'll only last one term and they'll screw it up so bad like Carter we'll win it all back. That worked in 1980, but it took 16 years because when Goldwater lost in 1964, conservatives went into the wilderness. Some say, but Nixon won in 68 and 72...Nixon was a RINO. I love Fred Thompson...I spent hundreds of dollars supporting that man. The fact is he isn't going to be President and so if John McCain wins the nomination, I will vote for him. Then the real work begins. We watch our elected GOP officials like guard dogs and bite a chunk out of their leg the minute they get off the conservative path. All the while we are working hard at the local level to put conservatives in the county and then the state and finally the national GOP Party headquarters. It's all about grassroots and it takes hard, dedicated, and relentless work. I hope everyone who reads this blog will join me. The world of "should" says we shouldn't have to vote for McCain and we should teach the Republicans a lesson by losing. We did that in 2006 and we got the McCain-Kennedy Grahamnesty Immigration Bill. I live in the world of "is." So, we kick the door in, spray the room with a suppressing fire and once all the RINOs are shaking under their desks, we tell them how they can get back in their seats or they leave if they want to get out alive. We either convert them or they become refugees. We take no prisoners. Here’s why I can vote for McCain:
