There is a new blog on Townhall,...mine.
Spending a lot of time gather information gives me the urge to share my unique opinions. Also it thrills me that I sound so much more intelligent than I really am. Thank G-D for spell check.
My first post is on the election.
This has been a very frustrating election because as a conservative I really do not feel that we had a good candidate this year. no horse in this race.
Gov. Hucklebee in my opinion would have been too divisive and I feel that there is ethical baggage that the MSM was holding back on that they will unleash in the general election. As I understand it he has been forced to give back money on more than one occasion that he was not supposed to have in the first place. His devisevness involves his call to "retake the country for Christ". this makes me nervous. I am not a Christian and growing up Jewish in a fundementalists community and going to public school back when we prayed in school, I have never felt threatened. I have always felt comfortable, but it seems that Reagan always referred to "people of faith". That seemed to be very inclusive. "Retaking the Country for Christ" is not going to sell and the point of an election is to win it. That slogan would simply turn off too many people.
I would have been ok with Romney but he did not catch on. Some folks were turned off by his Mormonism and some are uncomfortable with someone who has grown up super wealthy. Just doesn't understand.
Ron Paul,...what can I say, in my heart I think he is nuts. I know that angers a lot of people but his vision simply is utopian and is not doable. He cannot win in november.
Fed Thompson would have been my first choice. The fact that he was accused of not having the fire in his belly confirmed him in my opinion. People who want the position in a serious way are suspicious right at first glance.
McCain. John McCain. I cannot believe that this is the best we can do. He is not acceptable exept on two issues. He is Politicaly Correct from the Right's perspective on Taxes and Judges. Senator Obama, a perfect gentleman I am sure, is wrong on every issue. The 5-4 descition on the 2nd amendment scares me and makes me realize that we are one vote away from losing our most important right. It guerantees all the others:)
We live in the world that we are in and in the time that we are in. McCain or Obama, that is the deal. I urge everyone to hold your noses on election day and vote McCain. We truly have no choice.
