America was founded on godly moral values and God has blessed us because of that fact. “Choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil;” and I won’t do it. I was a Reagan Democrat. Like Reagan, “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party; it left me.” The question now, “Is the Republican Party leaving me, too?”
Sen. McCain does not follow the Republican Party Platform on the moral value issues. For any chance at all of winning votes of those of us “religious right” IF John McCain wins the nomination at the convention; he MUST choose a CONSISTENT moral value conservative for his running mate. The ideal running mate will have the chief executive experience Sen. McCain lacks with a PROVEN record of working with Democrats passing moral value legislation. Sen. McCain needs a running mate that is strong in the “red states” needed for winning the general election. The running mate needs to attract and convince young voters to actually get out and vote. Sen. McCain needs help reaching moral value minority voters. Someone with a history of achieving major improvements while balancing a budget, strong on education and the parents’ ability to choose the right type of education will be greatly appreciated. Remember, “Promote school choice and home-schooling” is also on the Republican Party platform. I agree with “conservative” pundits the majority of the time; but I strongly disagree with Fred Barnes when he said, “Romney is acceptable to social conservatives.”
The informed “religious right” IS NOT attracted to Romney’s resume. Massachusetts allows tax dollars for abortion and became the only state in America allowing homosexual marriage under Romney’s leadership. Romney also has a record of appointing liberal activist judges. If Sen. McCain chooses that flip-flopping, data driven, say anything to get elected, moral value conservative wanna be, Mitt Romney; many of us WILL NOT VOTE for McCain. (Much less try to persuade others to do so.) We will make sure Romney’s pro-liberal record gets attention if he is on the GOP presidential ticket.
The fiscal conservatives will vote GOP regardless who is on the ticket; even if they “scream bloody murder” while doing it. The “religious right” is who Sen. McCain and the GOP have to worry about. “God is not spelled G-O-P.” James Dobson said he will try to get a true moral value conservative to run as an Independent. Many of us “religious right” are already “independent” thinkers. The GOP better quit taking us “religious right” for granted unless they don’t care about the results in November.
Attention to those leaving comments: I don’t review them as quickly as I should. Please be patient with me. Thank you.
