Being a moderates in a polorizing election
I am a moderate and a registered Independent in a world that is harshly divided between conservatives and liberals. Even though I lean right sometimes, I try to be objective. This is my take on Sen McCain's campaign.
The Republican Party is going to have a difficult time in the General Election. The reasons are obvious. The Iraq war, no immigration plan, and the poor economy can spell disaster for the Republicans.
On Tuesday, a conservative Democrat won a special election in what had been a staunchly GOP district in Mississippi -- the third defeat for a Republican in a special congressional race this year -- prompting senior party officials to warn candidates that if they want to win this fall, they had better do everything possible to cut the chain from the political anchor that is President Bush.
I have not decided who I will vote for. Sen. Obama is too closely tied to radical friends who are anti-American. I cannot vote for anyone who supports Rev. Wright, Black Liberation Theology, the Black Panthers, and Louis Farrakhan.
