We can pick Obama, who votes “present” when he’s not voting wrong – or we can pick McCain, who always puts country first:
Sen. John McCain’s 2006 demand for regulatory action on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could have prevented current financial crisis, as HUMAN EVENTS learned from the letter shown in full text below.
McCain’s letter — signed by nineteen other senators — said that it was “…vitally important that Congress take the necessary steps to ensure that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac]…operate in a safe and sound manner.[and]..More importantly, Congress must ensure that the American taxpayer is protected in the event that either…should fail.”
Sen. Obama did not sign the letter, nor did any other Democrat.
This link has a copy of the actual letter.
In this, we see that there is no contest between McCain and Obama – McCain can recognize a problem and take steps to correct it before it becomes a crisis. Obama is oblivious and when the crisis hits he hides behind vague words when he’s not repeating mindless leftwing talking points.
Right now, Obama is riding high in the polls and there’s even a news story saying the Democrats are so confident of victory that they are planning a lame duck session of Congress to start passing Democratic legislation even before Obama takes the oath – which story is clearly a DNC plant. Why? Because it would make no sense to call Congress together before Obama takes the oath – until January 3rd there are at least 49 Republican Senators and until January 20th a Republican President. But, if your desire is to get the MSM to make it seem more and more like the race is over, then its just the sort of story you want to put out there. Still, there’s no denying that it looks pretty grim for the GOP – and yet I still have a light heart and an unquenchable optimism.
The facts – as opposed to the polls and the spin – show different. They still show Obama ahead, but they don’t show a coming coronation – and with a candidate who is clearly superior and who has only just this past week started to fight back heavily against an Obama ad/MSM blitz coupled with a financial meltdown which was bound to drag down anything with “GOP” attached to it, I’m feeling very confident in our ability to turn things around. A hard fight – an uphill fight; but a fight well worth doing and a fight which can actually rather easily be won, if we remain stout hearted. Always keep in mind fellow Republicans and conservatives – we are right, they are wrong; and right will triumph in the end.
