One of the main issues I will be considering as I decide whether or not I can vote for John McCain will be the Supreme Court. On his website, McCain claims to have a philosophy of appointing strict constructionist judges.
If this turns out to be true it will be a major boost of my image of John McCain.
Janet Folger, the author of The Criminalization of Christianity: Read This Book Before It Becomes Illegal! has written a desperate sounding article calling on us to vote for John McCain at WND.com:
If you want to protest, pick up a sign, but don’t throw away your vote, because if Obama or Clinton get into the White House, we won’t recognize our country four years from now.
I believe that Sen. McCain will do what is best for the country if he hears from us. Encourage him to pick a vice president like Gov. Mike Huckabee who stands for life, marriage and our freedom (and who already won the states he needs to win in November). I believe if enough of us tell him, he will understand that selecting someone like a Mitt Romney would be an absolute disaster. Let him know that we need judges who will protect the innocent, including the unborn, and that adult stem cell research is the research that actually works without killing anyone.
By the way, Sen. McCain can be reached at: 703-418-2008 and at:
The Hon. John McCain

John McCain has a history of going with the sound of the wind and not following what he claims. He has voted to support embrio experimentation, yet he says he’s pro-life. Also when I vote there is more than one issue to consider. Recently I found on alankeyes.com an article by Gordon James Klingenschmitt that McCain discourges ministers from praying in Jesus’ name. There seems to be a thought process among people, who I thought were much more conservative than I, that it is better to have a bad republican than a liberal. Granted I don’t care for Obama nor Hillary. Yet,the more I study McCain the less I like him. I don’t care for the idea of the United States being in Iraq for 100 years. Why is it Christian to kill people outside of the womb if they happen to be muslim and live in the middle-east? My Christian ethics just seem to contradict here. It appears Mc Cain is closer to people like Nancy Reagan, Arnold Schwartzeneger, and Senator Joseph Lieberman in the people he associates with. These are pro-choice republicans. Nancy Reagan supported John Kerry in 04. Lieberman was the vice-president candidate in 2000 along side of Gore. These are some of the reasons I am very unsure of McCain. I could go on but I will stop here.
I will most likely vote for McCain because voting for a third party candidate guarantees a Democratic president will be elected. In the meantime, my husband and I will continue to debate.
Renae, I know exactly what you mean!
