My last post received an interesting comment calling John McCain a "frog boiler." You can read the author's explanation of the frog in water allegory.
I've often used this same illustration about other topics - abortion included. When abortion was legalized, none of the conservatives at the time thought it was even a remote possibility . The truth blind-sided them. They thought they sat in comfortable waters when the reality was the water was starting to boil and they continued to assume they were safe.
There's a difference in me voting for John McCain instead of Barak Obama so we can elect a real conservative in 2012. This is a dangerous election. The lives of unborn babies remain at stake and so do the lives of thousands of our troops. Osama Bin Laden is still free and longs to destroy America to bring glory to His god. Marriage is being redefined and history is being rewritten. I am not sitting in a pot of warm (soon to be boiling water) ignorant of the issues or the urgency this nation faces right now.I can't trust Senator Obama with these vital issues.
I can't give my vote away to the liberals full of wishful thinking that a mighty conservative will come to the forefront in 2012.
It will be too late then.
Things are at a crisis or boiling point right now...where is this true conservative? And, if he was around in the primaries why did so many conservatives vote otherwise? I can't cast my vote or hold back my vote anticipating him to come to our rescue in the next election.
The commentator also mentioned that it took Carter to get us Regan. Yep it did. That was a long time ago and our country was not in the position it is today. And let's face it...there was only one Regan. Leaders like him are not only rare, they sometimes come to leadership once in the history of a nation. It's possible we've had the only one we're going to get. We cannot vote based on the past...we must vote based on now.
John McCain is not the perfect candidate...that person does not exist in politics or anywhere else. Is the Republican party watered down these days? Yes. Compromise and forgotten promises run rampant throughout the party and it's candidates.
So... I ask again...where is the conservative who will rise out of the ashes and get us out of all the hot water we're in?
