The Case Against McCain

First, McCain’s pro abortion credentials were clearly seen in his votes to confirm mega abortionists Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Beyer. No man who is pro life in any significant sense votes for judicial murderers.

Second, McCain’s culture of death credentials are clearly articulated by his support for stem cell research.

Third, abortion is crucial but in this campaign it is not the only issue worthy of consideration. McCain’s stance on granting amnesty (McCain-Kennedy) to illegal immigrants (a policy that will destroy whatever is left of the homogeneity of this country as well as whatever is left of Protestant Biblical Christian influence) should be enough to oppose McCain.

Fourth, McCain’s anti first amendment stance in McCain-Feingold should cause all thoughtful Christians to recoil by lending McCain their strength through their vote.

Fifth, McCain’s membership in the gang of 14 that stopped President Bush getting the conservative justices that Bush wanted is evidence against McCain’s sincerity on matters conservative.

Sixth, McCain’s horrid stance on the second amendment is perhaps only exceeded by B. Hussein Obama. Repeatedly, McCain’s advantage in this election is that he is the fascist leftist relative to the communist leftist Obama.

Seventh, McCain’s is a warmonger. If he will not get your children in the womb he will get them when they are old enough to tote a gun and die in a war. Remember also that McCain, like most modern presidents and politicians, accepts as normal and good that women are in the military and combat. This is an issue that is easily forgotten or dismissed by many Christians.

Eighth, McCain voted for the 700 billion dollar bailout indicating that he is every bit the socialist that he moans about Obama being. The difference between these two men is one of degree and not of kind.

Ninth, temperamentally McCain is a stick of dynamite just waiting to explode. His public anger outbursts are legendary. McCain is so unstable that having him in the oval office is playing catch with vials of nitro-glycerin.

Tenth, McCain has shown contempt for the class of people here, who, despite McCain’s past contempt, insist on voting for this man. Listen people, McCain does not like the Christian crowd though he is more than happy to use them (witness Palin). When you vote for McCain you are voting for a man who thinks your an intolerant lot.

Now, after saying all that, and realizing that either McCain or Obama will win I still prefer McCain. This is a true indication at how bad B. Hussein Obama really is. But my preference for McCain over the Black Nationalist Infanticidist Marxist Obama will not get me anywhere near yoking my strength to McCain with my vote. I will not willfully choose Hitler in order to stave off Stalin. My stance is a “pox upon both their houses.”

The mistake that Christians like Gary DeMar and Doug Wilson who support McCain are making is their premise that they think they can change the Republican party from the inside out. It is my estimation that if people like Gary and Doug really want to change the party then they will force the party to take them seriously by voting against the party when it strays to far from the positions that Gary and Doug fervently embrace. Gary and Doug constantly pulling Republican levers only communicates to the country club Republican power set that they can continue to hose the constituency that Gary and Doug represents.

I will vote Baldwin and be satisfied with knowing that I have not entered into league with a despicable man. Further, I will remain convinced that Christians who vote for McCain are not yet aware how they will justify to King Jesus someday why they voted the way they did.
