The Real McCain????

Sharon Cobb has lifted an article from Britain's Daily Mail. The paper interviewed McCain's first wife and has outed him as a heartless, gold-digging womaniser who abandoned his handicapped first wife.

Are religious conservatives certain that they want to vote for him? Are furious Hillary feminists sure that they want to give him their vote?

Tennessee GOP: Remember Andrew Jackson

The Tennessee GOP has started its Fall campaign on Obama by attacking his wife Michelle for her “proud of America” remarks. They must figure that it’s easier to attack a candidate’s spouse rather than go for the main contender. It’s discourteous and one that is reminiscent of the 1828 attacks against Andy Jackson’s wife Rachel. The Republicans were soundly defeated in that campaign, partly due to Jackson’s immense popularity and the distasteful attacks against his wife.

It remains to be seen if history will repeat itself, but throughout the nomination process, trying to beat Obama with personal attacks instead of policy arguments has all but failed. GOP Tennesseans may feel they were being patriotic in singling out Michelle Obama for their initial attack ads, but this will only increase Obama’s popularity and make Tennessean Republicans look paltry.

If McCain has any spine, he will condemn these spurious attacks and call to make political spousal abuse off limits for both parties. Politics is an ugly business, but drive-by slurs only makes the perpetrators look even uglier in the eyes of voting citizens.

Rush Limbaugh: More Un-American than Obama?

He sits behind his golden microphone each week day and broadcasts to millions of loyal conservatives across the nation. He cajoles the tedious Democrat Campaign over the airwaves and urges his myriads of listeners to dedicate their primary votes to his own cause: Operation Chaos.

Rush believes that Republicans can screw up the Democrat nomination’s process and thus render a death blow to the Democrat hopefuls in November. He has faith in his own audience and his conception; the only thing wrong with that is this: it’s un-American.

Instead of letting the American people vote for their own candidates in these final races, Rush wants to spoil the whole process. Depending upon who is the underdog in each State, Rush urges his listeners to vote for either Hillary or Obama. He wants the race to be very close, so that the Super Delegates will have to make a semi-unpopular choice of nominee for the party. Limbaugh gleefully gloats that his operation is ruining the Democrat party and deludes his audience into thinking that they are creating havoc for their opponents. It’s just one big joke on the election process; but it’s also unpatriotic.

It’s un-American because it goes against the forces of freedom in a Republic. He’s trying to squander the votes and voices of conservatives by making them do something that goes against their will: voting for Hillary Clinton. For almost a decade, the United States became the laughing stock of the world because of the shenanigans in the Whitehouse during the Clinton administrations. Are conservatives willing to set aside their furor over those wilderness years and let Clinton win States like Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania? Is Indiana going to become rich pickings for the Clinton campaign just because of the Limbaugh Luddites?

This is a foolish philosophy and one that has the potential of backfiring on those Republicans who voted for Clinton in the primaries. In the long run, Obama was an easier target in November because of his waffling and woeful inexperience. What Limbaugh has done is re-galvanize a failing Clinton campaign, making her the comeback Queen, which has the potential of running her all the way to the Whitehouse. When she was ready to be picked off a couple of months ago, Limbaugh resuscitated her campaign. Instead of ensuring that there was one less candidate, he has allowed this to drag on, breathing life into the more formidable candidate, instead of letting superficial Obama climb to the top.

Come November, the Democrats will remember what the Limbaughtarians tried to do and will come together in a show of strength that will ruin McCain’s chances. And then what will the loyal Limbaugh listeners do? They will regret following the foolish advice of this broadcast blowhard and their idealistic icon will fall from the golden pedestal that he has created for himself.

Conservatives voting for Clinton was the death-knell to our influence in the GOP. And Limbaugh is to blame. Remember this caveat: be careful who you vote for in the primaries; she may become President in November.

Why I Can't Vote for Mitt Romney

A Conservative Christian Republican outlines why he can't vote for Mitt Romney.

For the past two presidential elections, I’ve voted Republican. I’m fairly conservative with some of my values, although I do root for the underdog from time to time. In yesterday’s News-Sentinel, Mormon beliefs were clearly spelled out in an excellent article. After reading them, I now must declare that if Mitt Romney is chosen as the Republican nominee, I won’t be voting for him.

Some people say that this is un-American. Are we now declaring that voters must separate their religion from their votes? That would be un-American. In fact, it would be totalitarian. I consider myself to be an evangelical Trinitarian Christian. As such, I can’t divorce my faith from my vote. Therefore, I will not vote for Romney in the Presidential primaries or national election.

There are several key doctrinal issues that cause problems for me.

Firstly, Mormons are not Christians. They consider themselves to be, but the Christ they worship is entirely different from the Jesus we know in the Gospels. Christ ascended into heaven after His Resurrection. The Mormon Christ came over to America like a spiritual Christopher Columbus after His Ascension. This is not mentioned in the Gospels.

Secondly, Mormons believe in baptizing the dead, allowing people a second chance in eternity. This is not mainline Christian thought and is one of the things that sets the Mormons apart as a cult rather than as a Christian denomination.

Thirdly, they believe in a caste system and hierarchy in heaven with three tiers. The highest tier belongs to those who are truly Mormon and married. This is not Gospel teaching, for Christ Himself says that in heaven none are married. There is also no hierarchy in heaven, save that of the Trinity.

Finally, Mormons believe that God is married which invalidates Trinitarianism. This is the most serious doctrinal issue that separates Mormons from mainline Christianity. This is a false teaching and one that separates my vote from going to Mitt Romney. I am a staunch Trinitarian Christian believer. I could not vote for a person who does believe in the sanctity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Mitt Romney may be a good man, but I would feel as though I was disloyal to Christ if I voted for him.

So, if the GOP decides to accept Romney as its presidential nominee, they will not have my vote. And possibly other Christians will feel the same.
