One of the most moving moments for me last night was during the video of his life. His military career was outstanding but what really brought tears to my eyes was when he was walking through the airport during the primaries: alone, shoulders stooped but with his head held high. I got a hurt in my chest so bad I was choking. I was never a big fan of his, but to see how he was brought so low, humiliated and laughed at by all sides really hurt. He may not be liked by all conservatives, but he sure did fight to deserve his nomination.
But I think I’m a fan now. We didn’t get to this level of liberalism in our country overnight. It took time and a lot patience on the part of democrats and liberals to embed their brand of slavery so deep that half the populous is addicted to dependency. There’s no way to bring back conservatism in one election. It’s like trying to teach someone who’s lost the use of his legs to walk again. It’s going to take time and patience, that same patience the liberals used. But I think time is on our side now because the libs are getting impatient, and it’s showing and turning off voters, a little more each election season.
I agree, DMR. McCain’s going to continue to infuriate me, and I expect we’ll have to melt down the Senate switchboard a few more times, but for me the critical issue is the USSC.
Who’s going to appoint replacements for the four liberal Justices who are likely to retire during the next administration? President Bush gave us Roberts and Alito. We only need two more strict constructionists.
I don’t like or trust McCain, but he had my vote because the alternative is far worse.
