At the beginning of the election process, I put my support behind a candidate who fit my beliefs perfectly. Sadly, that person is not longer in the race. Now Senator McCain is the presumptive candidate and at first, I was extremely skeptical. I was one of those people who was complaining that he was too liberal for the Republican party.
But after I started being honest with myself, I found that there is a lot more common ground between me and Senator McCain than I originally thought. Sure, I don’t agree with him on every issue, but I do agree with him on all the issues that matter, and if most conservatives were honest with themselves, I think they would agree.
The most important issues of this election, are all issues that Senator McCain has excellent positions on: the second amendment, the supreme court, foreign policy, and fiscal responsibility. On all of these issues, without exception, Senator McCain has shown that he is the choice for conservatives (Yes, even more so than Bob Barr).
In my study of Senator McCain, he has proven himself to be the man this country needs at this time in history. Expect future posts not only about his positions on key issues, but explanations on why they are the right positions.
