Many conservatives have threatened to stay home in the November election to punish the republican party for not nominating a candidate who is conservative enough. The question I have is not whether John Mccain is conservative enough, but whether we can afford an Obama presidency.
A few of the key issues are the possible appointment of two supreme court justices, making the Bush tax cuts permanent, the Iraq and Afghan wars and the threat of national health care being implemented. After an Obama presidency we could be left with two extremely liberal justices. We could be left with the Bush tax cuts being left to expire,which would lead to the biggest tax hike in american history. We could be left with our troops being pulled out of Iraq when we are so close to victory, leaving the deaths of our brave troops to go for naught and we could be left with the implementation of a government run health care system that would destroy the greatest healthcare system in the world. Sitting this election out will serve only to shoot ourselves in the foot. Our hand is being forced, we must support Mccain. We must also support conservatives at the local level. The reason the "conservative movement" is faltering is that we don't have enough conservatives moving up through the ranks from the local to the national level. We need to regain control of the house and senate,and eventually the presidency, when we get the chance.
Should conservatives stay home in November? Absolutely not, on the contrary, we need to come out in full force. We need the appointment of these justices to go our way, that alone may be enough to support Mccain, so keep the faith, suck it up and vote Mccain in November, if not only to stop the onslaught of liberalism in our government and institutions.http:www.rightmiddleclass.blogspot.com
