Let’s Not Get Spewed

Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Presidential Election 2008 .

Hat-tip to Cavetrollhead for finding this article from the 2004 presidential race. After I read this I couldn’t help but think about the verse in the Bible about being hot or cold because the luke-warm would get spewed out of the mouth. Being moderate about some things is good, but when values are compromised in order to wear this label, it is wrong.

McCain Defends Kerry on Defense

March 18, 2004

WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Thursday he did not believe Democratic candidate John Kerry, a friend and Senate colleague, was weak on defense or would compromise national security if elected president.

“This kind of rhetoric, I think, is not helpful in educating and helping the American people make a choice,” McCain said on “The Early Show” on CBS. “You know, it’s the most bitter and partisan campaign that I’ve ever observed.

Isn’t it interesting that the farther our country moves to the left, the more radical a true conservative appears! Things are really out of balance. Anyway, one reason I really like Ron Paul is that he is certainly not luke warm. Check out his “radical” but sound ideas for prosperity and monetary reform at http://www.ronpaul2008.com/prosperity .

Sharon, thank you for sharing that. I have wished we would have more Ron Paul supporters joining our cause for conservative unity. At an intense time like this, if we can look past differences in candidates to what we have in common, this will be the glue to hold conservatism together despite liberal predictions of our demise.

Speaking of getting spewed out, watch this video of a woman getting thrown out because McCain won’t answer a question about illegal immigration.

I won’t be around here for the rest of the day because I am going to be watching hours of tribute to President Hinckley and then have a fun evening. I need a break from this frustration but I’ll be back Monday to fight on.
