Just look at his comment against conservatives who did not support his Immigration Bill that was put together with Teddy Kennedy. Sorry Frank and John, McCain has shown is bad colors too many times.<br>He is simply too unstable and unreliable to be president.

Time and again the conservatives are told to support the lesser of the evils. Well this time the lesser of the evils is Barak Obama.<br><br>Why? Conservatives such as myself have been betrayed by President George Bush a so called "republican" who took a golden opportunity of a Republican House, Senate, and Presidency and squandered it all. In the process he promoted big government and ballooned the deficit, increased welfare through a medicare med give away, trashed the dollar, and set into motion destructive deregulated policies that have almost destroyed the banking system. And then to try to solve the banking mess, he allows through the involvement of his Treasury secretary and Fed funds to flow in full bailout mode to Wall Street firms who engaged in highly risky and leveraged excesses. Add to that a utopian war that was built on a false foundation as a knee jerk reaction to the tragedy of 911.<br><br>Further George Bush while spending billions to rebuild Iraq ignores the economic plight of the mid-west that has lost a massive amount of good paying jobs to his trade policies which have turned the United States in to the greatest debtor nation in history and have turned the middle class in to low paid serfs.<br><br>Bush in league with the Democrats opened the borders to massive and expensive illegal immigration. These policies did not come from nowhere. They were skillfully promoted to this president by an selfish elite group Rockefeller Republican type intellectual people who sought to rewrite conservatism to financially benefit only a few. These policies have been very damaging to the conservative middle class who have awoke to find themselves mired in debt tying to maintain a lifestyle that is being eroded. When the elite group which includes many blinded commentators are questioned, they do not answer the questions,no they make it personal become hatefully angry and hurl one vile invective after another.<br><br>Look at this "republican" situation and tell me it is conservative. It is far from being conservative. And here we are told we have no choice but to vote for McCain who openly was a traitor to conservatives causes and threatened to become a Democrat. We are told this is because he was angry at George Bush. Oh really? Look how cozy they were on the fated Kennedy/McCain Immigration bill they all supported, that is everyone but the American public. Can we take a Bush 3 administration in the form of McCain? NO. In fact McCain with a warring gleam in his eye only promises more wars to assuage some violent vindictive part of his nature. Do we really what this person and his crowd in control of the Republican Party, the conservative movement, and the presidency? They are ruining and perverting everything that is conservative. This rabid movement must be stopped and it must be stopped by conservatives will the guts to support Obama to break the bad cycle of Republican ruination.<br><br>Does Obama represent all conservative values? NO but he will block the bad group that is destroying the Republican party. He will NOT continue the utopian endless war mentality. And he will not sacrifice the middle class on the alter of trade policy quick buck greed. Obama and not McCain is the lesser of the evils for the conservative to vote for.<br><br>Let the bought off pundits scream and wail about such a stance but it is time they were taught a hard lesson that they ignore our views at their peril! We will no longer be taken for granted by an ungrateful elite who seeks to benefit only themselves.Carl Rikernoreply@blogger.com
