McCain is a Liberal in Republican Clothing

Who will be the next US President? Is it going to be Clinton, Obama, McCain, Romney or Huckabee?

Huckabee truthfully does not seem to have a chance considering the number of delegates pledged his way. The only true possible Republican candidates - and I use the word true loosely here - are John McCain and Mitt Romney.

Romney is the closest candidate to a true Republican. But McCain, however, if anyone considers his past, should be listed as a Democrat, not a Republican. His voting record over the years has been more liberal than conservative. His Conservativism is a guise.

John McCain is using his being a war veteran and Conservative stances on few issues to run as a Republican candidate. He is the most liberal Republican running for office, and may very well be getting all his support from the Left instead of the right.

McCain was against the Bush Tax Cuts, has attacked Free Speech and skewed the political process, voted for more Gun Restrictions and joined Ted Kennedy to sponsor Amnesty for illegal aliens. And to show just how Liberal he truly is, he was considered as a running mate for John Kerry, who is as Liberal as anyone can be, not withstanding Ted Kennedy.

With McCain leading as the possible Republican candidate, it seems the Liberals are in a win-win situation. Either way they vote, whether they vote Republican or Democrat, they will most likely get someone in office that will push their Liberal agendas forward.

Even though I do not really like Romney, I would rather him be in office than McCain. But then, he is not my Republican of choice.

Can we throw all the candidates back in the water and try and fish out some other candidates?

Perverting the Presidential Selection Process

In this day and age when voting is key and the process is so closely scrutinized, you would think more people would be up in arms over how Ron Paul and his staff are going about getting votes and money for his campaign for President of the United States.

The Daily Paul is openly promoting Change Party Affiliation to Republican to Participate in Primaries. “As you may realize, there are many people from across the spectrum planning to support Ron Paul: Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Green Party members, disenfranchised Democrats, and of course the disenfranchised Republicans. Many of these people may not realize that they NEED to change party affiliations to Republican to vote in the GOP Primary in many States.” (A direct quote from the site)

The Ron Paul campaign threatens the very integrity of the Republican nomination process by trying to win over non-Republicans as votes to get him on the Republican ticket.

Even though it is very doubtful that he will win the Republican nomination, because he is so far behind the other candidates, his campaigning to get people to switchover to Republican is a misuse of the voting system and threatens the integrity of each party.

He may be listed as a Republican, but his backers are predominantly leftists. In my book, as a Republican, that is enough to deter me from voting for him. His campaign methods have no integrity. Hopefully, the Republican nomination process will keep its.
