America First

American Thinker has a piece that threatens: "The Life or Death Reason to Vote for ANY Republican?"

I clicked on it right away, wondering what I missed in my analysis, but would make me change my mind and actually vote for McCain. James Lewis says: Israel.

I feel bad, really. But I am unwilling sacrifice America for Israel...or Iraq.

If voting against McCain hurts either one of them, I can only say, "I'm sorry, but my primary allegiance must be to my country, its welfare and its people." And I believe that a McCain presidency will have long-term, devastating effects on the American political landscape. It is better to fight and survive a short-lived Hillary/Obama debacle than plant the long-term seed of the destruction of the Conservative Movement and the disintegration of the Republican Party for years to come by distorting it into a reflection of McCainism..i.e., no deeply held core conservative principles but "supporting the troops" which while necessary is hardly sufficient.

James Lewis fails to convince.

  1. Here is the only compelling reason I can think of to vote McCain.
    The idea of paying the Clinton's rent for another four years just absolutely pisses me off.

  2. How about this: you're paying for all that Secret Service protection anyway.

    Why pay for it twice? It's sort of a two-fer.
