The other day, I was asked about the primary coming up on February 5. The person asked me if I was going to vote for Senator McCain. I told him that I was not going to vote for Senator McCain because you could not trust him when it counted.
If things are going well and there are no problems, John McCain is right there with you. If there is opposition and he can get some positive press by going against you, he is suddenly on the other side. That is why I cannot trust the man. He may have an 80% conservative voting record, but that just validates what I just said. Most of the time things are going well and he is with you. It is the high profile important issues that he disappears from your side and appears in the lines against you.
When it comes to a President, I have to have someone there that can be counted on when the chips are down. When it is time to stand for principle over publicity, I want the person to stand on principle. John McCain is not that person. When it comes time for principle, he will take publicity.
One other reason I will not vote for John McCain is that he believes the greatest hoax ever. That is the global climate change myth. Anyone who really believes that man has any real impact on the climate is living in the twilight zone. If you look at how vast the environment is and how small the amount of “greenhouse” gases man emits, you would look like a fool for believing that such a small amount has a major impact. This is especially so when you compare the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by nature itself and the amount that man emits. Man emits almost nothing when compared to nature.
To further buttress my argument, you can look at the leaders of the “environmental” movement. They are some of the biggest polluters on the planet. Most of them live lifestyles that cause more pollution than vast amounts of ordinary people do on an ordinary day. Yet, they are asking ordinary citizens to completely change the way they live their lives. All the while, the “environmentalist” makes no changes in their lifestyle. They have to get out the word that pollution is bad, while polluting to their hearts content.
The goal of these “environmentalists” is to control the way everyone lives their lives. They want to have more control over your life than the old Soviet Union ever thought of having. They will make it impossible for you to do anything, except for what they want you do to. This will result in very high taxes and high inflation. The “environmentalists” don’t care about whether you can afford to purchase anything; they only want to control you. If you are poor, you are more easily controlled.
John McCain believes this hoax. He has bought the hoax, hook, line and sinker. That makes him dangerous as a politician. He would particularly dangerous as President because he would control much of the agenda in the country.
Currently, John McCain is tied with Huckabee for the lead in South Carolina at 24%. Romney is close behind at 18%. Thompson has 14%. There are still a couple of days to go before the primary. In the last two primaries, John McCain has collapsed a lot in both New Hampshire and Michigan just before the primaries. My hope is that he does so again. I also hope that Huckabee does not pick up any of the McCain people. I hope most would go to Romney as he is the best candidate the Republicans have this year.
