Mr. Mackenzie,
You get over it! I am a conservative who opposes McCain.
I oppose McCain because he has the best chance of unleashing an irreversible change to the population of voters that will render impossible most future conservative policies.
Once McCain grants citizenship to 20 million illegal aliens, both parties will pander to these new voters and compete to give them what they want, including letting them bring in their families from Mexico or South America. The result will be at least 50 million uneducated, inassimilable poor people, who may well be “good-hearted,” but will also be drains on our social services. They will vote for whichever politician will redistribute the greatest amount of tax money to them. Over time, we will lose our Southern border, our American culture, and we will become a socialist nation. Irreversibly.
Clinton or Obama cannot do as much permanent damage, if we stop the amnesty that would swamp the votes of Republicans and conservatives. For example, if Obama or Clinton appoints leftist Supreme Court Justices, then Republican and conservative voters at least retain the possibility of restricting the jurisdiction of the Court. If they launch a socialist national health care program, then Republican and conservative voters retain the possibility of ending the program later. These battles may be very hard, but at least we retain the possibility of winning in the long run. But if we give citizenship to 20 million illegal aliens and let them bring in their families, there never again will be enough conservative voters to pass conservatives policies, except perhaps for more restrictions on abortion.
In summary, I oppose McCain because he has the best chance of achieving a demographic coup d’etat that will permanently overwhelm conservative voters.
I admire the service and sacrifice in his youth. But when I vote, I’ll write in Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter for President.
Get over it!
GM
