I find myself at a crossroads in my political worldview. The Republican Party has ceased to be Conservative.
When George Bush was running for President in 2000, Conservatives in the Republican Party raised concerns that he would drag the party left. They were correct. The same concerns are being raised of McCain today, and rightly so.
Last year and early spring Republicans tore into McCain’s history of liberal policies, but as soon as the media crowned him the presumptive nominee there was a collective sigh followed by an epidemic of political amnesia throughout the Party. To this day I still hear most Republicans reluctantly supporting McCain as the lesser of two evils, as if they are holding out hope that McCain won’t lead our country down the path to socialism like Obama promises to do.
But McCain has already surrendered to path of socialism. How so? By voting for the $700bn bailout bill with $150bn earmarks, and by caving on a bill that makes you and me pay extra closing costs on our next mortgage to help fund ACORN (i.e., voter fraud and programs that benefit the Democrats) and similar groups. Thanks to McCain we now we have nationalized banking and mortgages along with a Treasury that has become it’s own branch of the government without Congressional oversight. McCain has shown that he is ready and willing to launch the United States into a new era of socialism if he deems necessary, albeit slower than Obama would.
So I encourage my fellow Conservatives to reconnect with your core principles. Many Republicans don’t realize the extent to which they have abandoned their core principles for the sake of the Party.
Where do I go from here?
Now I’m investigating the Constitution Party, which nominated Chuck Baldwin for President. It seems to be a perfect fit for the Conservative who says to the Republican Party, “I love you, old friend, but I can’t go down this road any farther.”
