I previously wrote, "this isn't aimed at you; McCain likes to paint himself as a "political maverick." I was just reacting to the "tripe" that I feel the leftist media has used to portray McCain and not your personal use of the phrase. I apologize if that didn't come across clearly. I shouldn't have used that response in communicating with you at all.
I don't have anger at McCain; politics is not my god and I don't worship at it's altar. I am extremely critical of his positions and recognize the danger that people like McCain pose to our future as a Republic (what's left of it) should he gain power.
The problem is, presneting yourself as a strict Constitutionalist, will probabaly get you about 1% of the vote. Here in Colorado, by sticking with the most conservative Republican candidate available, you have a good chance of seeing your guy victorious. Politics is a slow process and change will not be gained overnight.
Of course, you're right, but I must admit that I no longer hold out any hope that this nation can be transformed for the better. In my eyes, it would take a sovereign act of God in a true spiritual awakening, but all evidence points in the opposite direction for this nation, namely an all out apostasy from the truth and a nation that is moving from Post-Christian to Anti-Christian.
"but all evidence points in the opposite direction for this nation, namely an all out apostasy from the truth and a nation that is moving from Post-Christian to Anti-Christian."
Scary prospect when we look at the result historically of this stance.
