I have been passionatly spreading what legitimate concerns I have had over an Obama presidency for months. I have been disapointed over Senator McCains performance -even last nights even though it was his strongest so far. It was too little too late. We could say that it was a game changer-but given people's short attention span I doubt its strength will hold after the "obamercial" that is unfairly being allowed on the masses.
I am seriuosly starting to wonder if our favorite patriot superstar is right and we as conservatives-and my camp of evangelicals-totally missed the mark. I voted for Mike Huckabee but I was hoping for John McCain to secure the primary. I believed that he would be the strongest lead. I believed that he would be more likely to win in debatesd against Clinton (who at the time was the most feared candidate). I was sure if by chance Obama became the democratic nominee that he would be a walk in the park for the U.S. veteran. I have been angered over and over that us commen citizens can ask and demand and see what Senator McCain has refused to acknowledge. The Ayers issue was totally mishandled. I dont care about what Ayers did forty years ago-ask Obama about the Ayers NOW! Ask him if he agrees with Ayers NOW. Ask him to tell the American people about the "education reform" he served under Ayers for...socialistic upheavel-I know this but people say I am crazy. The abortion issue that so readily is a game changer is not in this election. Last night McCain could have went so much farther with it. It is not just the fact that Obama voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act...he also promised Planned Parenthood that he would sign the "Freedom Of Choice Act-virtually overturning every regulation Bush put on abortion. That would include Partial Birth Abortion-partial birth which means the mother is not in danger. Obama talks smooth about no one being "pro-abortion"-begging your pardon sir yes some are just that. My mother had her fifth child after she was forty and she was pressured to abort-she had to become very firm in her stance for people in the medical feild to leave her alone. She had her sixth about 4 years later. they both are special needs. I have read columnist talk about how Palin is no hero for having a down syndrom baby because"those children" have to be kept up all their lives and it would have been better for society and Trig for him to be aborted. The hateful people holding up signs that say "abort Palin" mean "kill Palin"-thus calling abortion what it is. abortionist cannot hide behind the veil of "its not a baby yet" not as far as abortion has come. Another point McCain could have brought in was the issue of tax dollers being paid to fund abortions in China-which by the way are FORCED. Those women dont get to seek wise council-as Obama is trying to pretend all the young girls preyed upon by Planned Parenthood are. Bush did not sign the bill brought forth by the United Freakin Nations that supported that mess. Obama is for it. He is socialist and he is globalist. That is what the Berlin speech was about. McCain could have dug so much deeper-telling facts is not mud slinging. Palin could have done so much better with that issue but unfortunatly she is not running for President.
To my point-if McCain can be swayed as much as he has-tothe point of basically giving the country that he has "had the privelage of fighting" for over to the socialist...well I think we missed it.
On the abortion issue Mike Huckabee would have been stronger. He probably would have brought United Nations issues. these issues cant be brought up because it reveals to much about things that go on. I am seriously thinking about writing in his name. I know it doesnt do any good-about as good as voting on the independant ticket. However my consiuonce would be clear. I think if all the conservatives who have watched McCain hand this thing over would do that it would send a message. It is a folk dream to think it would actualy turn the election. At this point -outside of Isreal hitting Iran -I dont think anything will turn it. Even that-I am not clearly certain that McCain would be as pro-Isreal as Palin or Huckabee.
I am disenchanted.With my party. With the candidate and with all the evangelical "values voters" who have been backing Obama because there are "other issues" besides abortion. No there is'nt -not for me. Life is connected to all other issues and far outweighs them too. If we would become a nation with free for all abortions then in the next phase we will be a nation of forced abortions. abortion and socialism are connected and they are not even seeing that-and God forbid McCain connect it. Life is the future. Life is a gift and a right. Life is sacred. What do you hold sacred?
