Every four years, conservative "pragmatists" trot out the "We Cant Let So-And-So Win" mantra. Of course, the so-and-so in question is always the Democratic Presidential candidate. For all of my adult life, I have been listening to so-called "conservative" Republicans warn us of the impending doom that would befall our country if the Democratic candidate were elected. And this year is no different.
This years Republican primary did provide a wonderful aberration, however, to the usual choices between Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Republicans had an opportunity to nominate a real American constitutionalist, a statesman in the similitude of Thomas Jefferson or James Madison. That man was Texas Congressman, Ron Paul. Unfortunately, the Republican faithful seem to be incapable of discerning the marks of true greatness, not to mention fidelity to constitutional government. It is doubtful that most of them even understand what constitutional government is. And as for Christian conservatives, they can barely see any issues beyond abortion and "gay rights." To try and convince them to support a constitutionalist candidate is like talking to a brick wall.
So, what choice does the Republican Party offer the American people this year? The worst of all possible choices: good old John "McSame" McCain.
Lets be clear: a John McCain Presidency will be no better than a Hillary Clinton or a Barack Obama Presidency. In fact, in many ways, a McCain White House will be WORSE than a Democratic one.

uh duh...
let’s all stay home
and not vote.
that’s so-o-o-o kewl!

“America is currently facing the most serious threat to its national independence and sovereignty since the War of 1812. The forces of globalism have declared an all-out war against our countrys independence. Illegal immigration, the NAFTA superhighway, the North American Community, a regional currency called the Amero, and “free trade” deals are just a few of the weapons in their arsenal. And John McCain will use every bit of his power as President to facilitate all of this chicanery. And, because McCain is a Republican, conservatives and Christians will sit back and let it happen without even the slightest whimper of resistance. If Obama or Clinton were sitting in the Oval Office, however, massive numbers of conservatives and Christians would rise in protest over every inch of ground ceded to these nefarious nabobs. So, tell me, who is the greater evil? I say it is John McCain.”
My the way Ron Paul is unlikely to be the CP nominee.
Good thinking there.. that is how we got the democrats running both houses. ie Pelosi and Reid.
Where were these massive numbers of conservatives and Christians when bill Clinton was president?
Excellent post.
Ross Perot would not have had a pot to pi$$ in had Daddy Bush the Bakerite continued with Reagan Conservatism.
Read my Lips- Vote for Perot
OOhhh I don’t know, maybe not spending billions and billions of dollars on a war that was justified for one reason and years later, justified for another. Reducing overseas spending, eliminating liberal, BS program spending (things like planned parenthood), reducing taxes that would inevitably stimulate the economy, increase the American People’s savings. I’m not saying Ron Paul is perfect. I’m not putting him on a pedestal. But I know that he would do more good than bad. I can’t say the same about the other candidates. Why don’t YOU tell ME what glorious things McCain has in store for this country? Oh thats right...he doesn’t.
Nope, the current conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and the USSC are two issues which are too important to give to Hilly or Obambi.
BTW, Mr. Baldwin, I believe that God is in control and whatever happens is by His design, no matter what we will or will not do.
How dare you insult beloved Poppy/ sarcasm. You're right. Neo Cons love using Perot as a means to not blame Poppy for being just plain stupid and a bad POTUS. Bush hated the Reagan Doctrine. Him and the Ford Neo Con party wreckers went right to work tearing it down. We went from the worlds most powerful Navy in strength to under 300 ships today. They love to blame that one on Clinton. Well facts are facts and Clinton had six of his eighth years facing a GOP majority house and senate who did nothing to stop him nothing at all.
Warnings were sounded and Chuck Baldwin was one of them saying this was coming to the GOP. I'm sick and tired of the Destroy the Nation but not the GOP mentality. The GOP is the party of enablers for the DEMs. Ted Kennedy is still the senate majority leader as he has been for decades now, and GW Bush still does his work for him. So will McCain.
The way I look at is this. If Obama or Hillary can carry Montana because I vote for a third party nutjob, the end is at hand.
So, I can register my dissatisfaction with the Republican Party, both nationally and at the state level, which last time I looked was one of the major functions of the ballot box.
There’s not many other ways to do it. Send a nasty letter to McCain and the state and national committees? Why would they care? On the other hand Republican lawn signs replaced with CP signs and an increasing percentage of votes going to the CP will get their limited attention.
Did I mention that the Republican Party in Montana went to a caucus primary this year, disenfranchising this humble poster?
McCain’s platform: “I’m not as bad as they are”.
Absolutely!
To ALL:
Listen to the TRUTH.
I dare you.
So Perot spent several hundred million of his own dollars to get a single government contract? For a self-made billionaire he must be a pretty crappy businessman; considering a simple bribe would have been a lot cheaper.
And that's more than enough for me to vote McCain in November against two communists. Face it, he's still fighting communists.
Thousands of DEAD Americans, since January 2001, killed, injured or raped by illegal aliens on sovereign U.S. soil, with the frikkin border wide open for larger economic interests, DID NOT SURVIVE THE "W" ADMINISTRATION.
I, or you, or someone you love, could be NEXT.
Sorry, not as optimistic about things as you apparantly.
I’d vote for mcqueeg before I voted for Paul, but neither will ever get my vote.
Chuck Baldwin represents a view of foreign policy that, if implemented, would directly endanger millions of Americans lives.
Thank God there wasn’t one whiff of this noninterventionist nonsense in the Reagan administration. The Soviet Union’s gulags would still be doing a thriving business.
The Ron Paul disease continues to weaken the body politic.
