I don't see eye to eye with John McCain on everything:
I disagree with his stance on illegal immigration: I think he should be tougher.
I agree with his commitment to securing our borders: if he can get it done.
However, I give him a big, Double Barreled Salute for having the guts to put this statement on his web site:
"The family represents the foundation of Western Civilization and civil society and John McCain believes the institution of marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It is only this definition that sufficiently recognizes the vital and unique role played by mothers and fathers in the raising of children, and the role of the family in shaping, stabilizing, and strengthening communities and our nation."
- John McCain
That right there folks is enough of a reason to vote for McCain. Period, Game Over, Enough Said.
Now contrast John McCain's straight forward answer and beliefs to Barack Hussein Obama's position as he Celebrates Pride Month... yes, you read that correctly, believe it or not this is verbatim from his official web site:
"I am proud to join with our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters in celebrating the accomplishments, the lives, and the families of all LGBT people during this Pride season. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans."
"It's time to live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect. Let's enact federal civil rights legislation to outlaw hate crimes and protect workers against discrimination based upon sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. Let's repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell and demonstrate that the most effective and professional military in the world is open to all Americans who are ready and willing to serve our country. Let's treat the relationships and the families of LGBT Americans with full equality under the law."
"We are ready to accomplish these goals because of the courage and persistence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who have been working every day to achieve equal rights. The gay couple who demand equal treatment in our family laws as they raise their children; the lesbian soldier who wants nothing more than to serve her country openly and honestly; the transgender workers who ask for the simple dignity of being judged by the quality of their work. Generations of LGBT Americans, at once ordinary and extraordinary, have made possible this moment in our history. With leadership and hard work, we can fulfill the promise of equality for all."
-- Senator Barack Obama, June 6, 2008

I have told several people lately that they needed to vote when they told me "my vote won't help, Obama's gonna win anyway"... well Duh! If everyone has that attitude then yes, he will win. If you don't want Barack Hussein Obama to be your next president, then get off your butt and start motivating everyone you know to support McCain and to VOTE!
Send a signal, Loud and Clear: Obama, We're Not Just Funnin'...
Until Next Time,
