The Presidential Candidate of Your Choice May Not Appear on the November Ballot

One gentle reader reminds everyone to vote in Tuesday's presidential primary

By Rebel With A Cause

Because on Tuesday twenty states, including Utah, will be voting on each party's candidate for president of the U.S., let me diverge from the continuing mischief, etc. going on here and talk about the depressing prospect of the presidential election. Both of the Democrats' candidates are promising to reinstate all previous taxes, which is a sure ticket to a recession. They talk about bringing back the troops immediately, as in the Vietnam fiasco. While the Republican establishment and the media are foisting John McCain down our throats.

As an example consider the response Bill Crystal made when asked after the South Carolina and New Hampshire primaries in which McCain won, who he thought would be the eventual Republican winner? He answered "McCain. He has won 2 states. No one else has." Right. At that point Romney had won 3, Michigan, Wyoming, and Nevada, and had the greatest number of delegates. But those facts were not mentioned. Also, just before the voting in Florida, the governor and Congressman Martinez endorsed McCain, but nary a word was mentioned about Connie Mack's endorsement of Romney.( He is another congressman from Florida.)

The latest McCain TV ad promotes him as a war hero and a conservative. Untrue on both counts. According to the Vietnam Veterans Against McCain, he was a collaborator with the enemy to save his own skin, and he broke the rules of air combat procedure by returning to the same target, after missing it the first time,getting shot down as a result of poor judgment. That doesn't constitute a hero in my book. Then consider his McCain-Feingold Bill, his McCain- Kennedy (amnesty)Bill, and his McCain-Leiberman Bill, all bills he sponsored with Democrats, and recently stated that he would still sign the amnesty bill if he were president (Hardly a conservative position.)

Romney would oppose such bills, build a border fence, be smarter on the economy,save American sovereignty and the Constitution, like he saved the Olympics while in SLC. But not being a member of the Council On Foreign Relations and the One World Order crowd, like the Bushes and Clintons, he is marginalized by the press in a most unfair manner, and thus putting him at a great disadvantage. Depressing, isn't it?

Remember to vote on Tuesday, Feb.5

The candidate of your choice might not be on tne ballot in November.
