I believe that it is solid conservatism that wins the day and elections - limited government, individual responsibility, and a strong national DEFENSE (secure the borders!), and certainly not conciliation and surrender to Democrats to the point that our differences become blurry. <br /><br />McCain is the reason I'm leaving the Republican Party - I can't support a candidate who supports "Cap and Trade" - who calls for a "League of Democracies" that sounds terrifyingly similar to the "League of Nations" almost 100 years ago - who only had a "C" grade from the NRA the last time he ran for the Senate - who not only supported Amnesty for Illegals, but was a co-author of the legislation - who admits Washington has corrupted him(google keating 5)<br /><br />The differences between McCain and Obama are minimal, when you consider that both believe big government can save you from yourself, and that we can save other nations from themselves as well. I will not play along with the game of lesser of two evils, as I believe that is part of what has plunged this nation into the mess we find ourselves today. <br /><br />The Libertarian Party seems to be a perfect temporary home, the GOP has its work cut out if its sincere about winning me back, even President Reagan said “Libertarianism is the very heart and soul of conservatism.” I will be doing everything I can to sway like minded conservatives to join me in this exodus and vote for Bob Barr for President and Wayne Root for Vice President on the Libertarian ticket. Both of them were recently Republicans, and are among those countless conservatives I‘ve heard myself say “ It wasn’t that I left the Republican Party, it was the Party that left me.”<br /><br />Please visit bobbarr2008.com and give liberty a voice in the Presidential debates and beyond. tag:odell1.odellequipmentrental.com,2006-11-29:186978 Lewis 2006-11-29T16:08:00Z 2006-11-29T16:08:00Z That sounds good!! It is too bad that I don't hunt. Maybe I could use beef.
