I am a Reagan conservative, a Christian conservative, and a Southern conservative. I could make Rush Limbaugh look like a socialist with some of my beliefs. I say that to say we need to as conservatives get behind John McCain in this Presidential election. I was a supporter of Fred Thompson and after he left the race, I became a Mike Huckabee supporter. However, I see that the chance for Mike to win is low and we need to get behind one candidate while the democrats continue to fight amongst themselves. If we get behind John McCain now, we can capture some momentum and hope that the democrat nomination turns into a nasty fight at their convention. Maybe we even get lucky and the democrat party splits for the election and we can cruise to victory. However on the other hand if we are not careful, we could split also and hand the White House to Hillary or Obama. Those thoughts scare me! I know there are conservatives who worry if John McCain is a true conservative. He has a mixed voting record, but he has the right credentials to be President and maybe we can elect a Republican congress to control him. I do believe that he has to take a strong southern conservative to be his Vice-President. My suggestions would be; Mike Huckabee, Mark Sanford, or Fred Thompson. I ask that we think of our nation first and all Republicans come together and support John McCain for President and remember that sometimes we need to vote the lesser of two evils. My advice to Rush,Laura, and other radio hosts is to either get behind a semi-conservative or face the prospect of a socialist or worse as our President. I do wonder in Rush and Laura's cases if there motivation is more ratings then the nation they claim to serve. Think about it they get better ratings when the democrats are in charge and they can complain about everything. Something to ponder before you listen to their advice and claims they will vote democrat rather then McCain. Think about it!
