Frustrated conservatives can have a voice June 3.
I'm responding to the disillusioned Republican from a couple weeks ago who was upset about McCain becoming the presumptive nominee. He said for the first time since 1980, he would not be voting in the Republican Primary.
I would like to ask this gentleman to reconsider. Instead of boycotting the primary, vote for Ron Paul against McCain. Paul is the only one left who hasn't sold out and endorsed McCain and is still actively campaigning for as many votes as possible. We still have the option to vote for a true conservative.
McCain received an "F" Rating from the Gun Owners of America, while Ron Paul received an "A+" rating. McCain votes with Teddy Kennedy on every piece of gun control legislation (a worse record than Hillary Clinton), while Paul is actively working to repeal the last 20 years of federal gun control laws.
McCain has a terrible record when it comes to protecting the life of the unborn. He was part of the Democrats filibuster blocking Bush's pro-life judicial appointees, has said in the past that he doesn't want to see Roe v Wade overturned and supported federal funding of stem cell research. Paul is an OB/GYN by trade, who has been fighting against federal funding for abortions and federal mandated abortion rights laws his entire career.
The National Taxpayers Union states that McCain's budget would increase the federal spending by $180 billion dollars. Paul wants to cut spending by at least that much and received the TaxPayers Best Friend award from the NTU again this year. We're already seeing the inflationary effects of too much government spending. A McCain presidency (like a Hillary or Obama one) would only make inflation worse.
A vote for McCain is a vote against the Republican Party's very soul. The Republican Party should not be forced to unify behind a candidate who is just as liberal as the Democrats running.
I urge all Republicans to vote their conscience June 3 instead of blindly voting for McCain. Let the National Republican Party know that South Dakota Republicans do not want a liberal for their nominee.
