Gov. Sarah Palin was a brilliant and strategic move, because she is a true conservative that can get away with wearing a skirt and nominating a pro-life judge! McCain showed his true "Naval" colors. Now the folks that believe in Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Allan Keyes, and other party leaders will have to choose between Obama as President or Sarah Palin as Vice President, because these other leaders will not have a realistic chance at all in this election.
I am a constitutionalist, so American sovereignty is very important to me, but what is more important to me is God's moral law - preservation and protection of human life. For example, to protect the unborn is more important to me than balancing a budget, or the immigration issue. Obviously, limited Government that is pro-life, and anti-deficit is my first choice, but if I were to get only one - I will vote for pro-life all day long. Now that leads me to Obama versus McCain: What is the probability for life to find its way into the halls of the White house, except that millions true conservatives vote for McCain, and not "waste" their vote? A vote for anyone but McCain will push Obama closer to the presidential finish line and life will loose. Therefore, logically I can argue that principled people who are pro-life will be voting in Obama when they refuse to vote for McCain. Hey, it is free country and you are free to vote your conscience. However, remember the highest value we can give humanity, and the one that promotes freedom for all is the to protect the unborn. If we cannot protect the unborn, the most innocent among us, we are hypocrites when we say that we care and try to protect the rest of humanity!
An old biblical story found in Exodus 1:15-21 demonstrates what I trying to say "Pharaoh ordered the mid-wives to kill the young Jewish baby boys, these women did not, and when they were summoned by the Pharaoh and questioned as to why these baby boys were not murdered, they lied - yes, they lied! They lied to protect their own necks but also to protect the innocent, and God blessed them for that". Clearly to lie is wrong, but protecting the innocent was more important, so not revealing the truth was essential in protecting the unborn.
Thousands of years later, we are still fighting similar type evil, in this case if you were a principled person that has failed understand your vote against McCain will get you further away from stopping the madness called abortion, then you are unwillingly but indirectly fostering more abortions! Ouch! Think about this.
Your principles have become a road block to protect innocent life. If these biblical women can lie to protect the unborn, surely you can vote for McCain to protect the unborn as well, and maintain a clear conscience for yourself and before your God.
Several weeks ago, at Saddleback, we heard Obama's view on when life began, and according to him, it was above his pay grade to decide that. Not so with John McCain. He was clear and precise. He said "Life began at conception". His track record in government also proves his pro-life stance. Senator McCain's unwavering stand on life was clear and refreshing. Yes, I do not like his views on immigration, spending, globalist attitudes, but he is for life. But by his Palin pick, he is almost guaranteeing that there will plenty of opportunities to overturn Roe vs. Wade with the appointment of pro-life judges to the Supreme Court.
McCain has my vote because he showed good judgement in picking Sarah Palin for veep. Now there is a real reason to vote!
