Presidential Nominees Almost Set

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Well, it is all set and the Presidential election is going to be John McCain vs. Hillary or Obama.  At this point it simply means the country is going to move left during the next 4 years.  Although McCain is a Republican, he is not a Reagan conservative.  Thus, with Hillary fully believing in socialism and Obama even more to the left of Hillary, we are almost guaranteed to move to a more liberal agenda.

McCain is a good man.  He has really served the country well in both the military and in the Senate.  However, he is really weak on domestic issues including important ones such as the security of the border.  However, foreign policy is strength for him.

A lot of the conservative talk shows are really bashing McCain, which I think is unwarranted.  I am not giving up my conservative ideas, but I will vote for McCain even though he is nowhere close to the benchmark of Ronald Reagan.  He is what he is, a slightly to the left of center Republican.  However, I do believe he will control spending and not support major new social programs.  Thus, he will be my candidate.  I hope other conservatives will at least choose the lesser of the evils instead of staying home on Election Day in November.
