Some
of the feedback I've been getting about my last post is indicating to
me that some are confused by my point, and believe that I am putting
the good of my party over the good of my country. Is this true? Not at
all.
In fact, I believe that the two are one in the same. And I
believe most Republicans do. This country will only succeed under
conservative leadership. That is why 5 of the last 7 presidents have
been Republicans, and why Congress was Republican for 12 years.
In
my mind, it takes a conservative to keep this country on the right
track. John McCain is not a conservative. I believe the only difference
between 4 years of McCain and 4 years of Clinton will be whose party is
responsible for the disasters the liberal government will incur on us,
and I'd rather it not be mine. As always, the party nominated the
candidate it believed to be most electable, but at the cost of our core
principles.
I only have the long-term interests of the United States at heart, and my decision to campaign against McCain lies in that vein.
