UPDATE:

Are We Ready For The Big Mac Attack?



I was captured by McCain's speech today. He said to those of us (That ususally disagree with him) That he will seek council in the Republicans and Conservatives he will surround himself with should we disagree.

He said he will keep the Bush tax cut's permanent.

And will be a warrior in the War on Terror.

He will appoint Conservative Judges to the SCOTUS.

I think he just told me all I needed to know. If he is willing to work with me I am willing to work with him.

So........... Go John McCain!!!!

The TrekMedic Weighs In!

Blogmaster TrekMedic of Is This Life? makes an endorsement of his own:

With the Florida primary out of the way, and the wannabes falling by the wayside, the Republicans are looking at a dwindling number of choices.

Some of us saw the future in the likes of Fred, Rudy and Duncan Hunter.

Fred, the most Reagan-like, started too slow and couldn't gain any traction. By the time he got his stride, the parade had passed him.

Rudy spoke too frequently on his past and not enough on the future. Reading between the lines, one could arguably say Rudy only wanted the nomination to face Shrillary head-on and, if successful, wreak a personal vengeance on al-Qaeda 9/11.

Duncan,..well, the media chose to pay more attention on the bigger voices and his ideas were ignored.

And so we are left with these:

Mike Huckabee:
We live in a country that paradoxically was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, but is Constitutionally prevented from forming a theocracy. Many times, Huckabee's ideas sound more like they are coming from Huckabee-the-Baptist-minister and less like Huckabee-the-governor. As a strict Constitutionalist, I can't abide with that kind of thinking.

John McCain:
He's old. Yes, get used to hearing that from the Clinton war machine ad nauseum if he gets the nod. It wasn't an issue with Reagan, but this is the Clintons we're talking about, so the rules are out the door.
I also have serious issue with some of his allegiances. Whether is was the McCain-Feingold Bill, which stifled free speech, or his Gang of Fourteen venture, McCain has repeatedly worked counter to the Republican Party.
McCain would have us keep our Southern border open to every illegal and grant them amnesty when they arrive. He does this all in the name of the economy, yet McCain freely admits he is weak on driving the economy.
Make no mistake, John McCain is a war hero who endured a nightmare no one should ever experience, and for that I'll support him for the rest of his life, but a vote for McCain now is another vote for Hillary.

That leaves,...

Mitt Romney!

I've chosen to support Mitt for several reasons.

First, for the past thirty-plus years, America has indicated a tendency to vote for governors, rather than legislators. Whether is was Carter, Reagan, Clinton, or Bush 43, America seems, for better or worse, best served by chief executives, rather than those who make self-serving legislation.
Second, Romney is a businessman, and a successful one. America needs to continue to be run more as a business (a service economy to the nth degree) than a benevolent master (the Clintonian socialist Utopia of her "Village). Goods and services are created only to meet the need of the the target market (America) and done within the limits of expenditure and affordability.
Finally, Mitt was executive director of the USOC during the Salt Lake Games of 2002. Getting the world to come to the United States is hard enough, but getting them here in the shadow of 9/11 and then persuading a supposedly non-partisan body to tastefully honor the departed of 9/11 was a massive undertaking of diplomatic legerdemain. And, the games finished under budget and on time, despite a local scandal.

As the last major campaign push, Super Tuesday, draws closer, consider Mitt Romney. For now, for the future, and for our security.

**THAT'S MY OPINION AND YOU'RE ENTITLED TO IT!**

Who's Red After Fred?

Doug Gibbs of Political Pistachio gives us a few thoughts on that very subject:

The Remaining for a Red November

With the loss of Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson from the Republican Presidential race in Election 2008, the Republican Party has left little remaining for America's Conservatives. As the Florida Primary approaches on Tuesday, January 29, it is becoming clear that the battle has narrowed to Mitt Romney, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Rudy Giuliani.

Rudy has placed everything on Florida, and a poor outing in that state will force him out of the race. Ron Paul never had a chance. Mike Huckabee has not campaigned in Florida due to a lack of funding, and his comment that he wishes to close Gitmo knocked him out of my support circle.

This leaves Mitt Romney and John McCain.

I have not forgotten McCain's Congressional record and his band of fourteen. I have not forgotten the fact that he was against Bush's tax cuts, and voted against just about every conservative item to cross the floor. He has produced bills with Kennedy, Feingold, and Leiberman. McCain supports amnesty, and believes in the Global Warming lie. He is hardly a conservative.

Though Romney is a Mormon, he has shown that he is a fiscal conservative that is in full support of the tax-cuts. Mitt was a successful governor of Massachusetts in a hostile, liberal environment. Romney has shown that he supports the surge, and the war against the Islamic Jihad. Although he has changed his position on a few issues, they have been in the right direction, and he has not flip-flopped back.

As much as I hate to say it, the remaining candidate that I am willing to support is Mitt Romney.
