Fair game, folks. John McCain is looking like he's going to have an easy run at the White House. Why? Because it looks like the Democrats are going to decimate themselves before the DNC even takes place.Apart from that, will the real John McCain please stand up (can anyone name that TV show)? Three groups, two conservative and one liberal, all indicate that the Arizona senator is to the right of just about every Democrat, but that he tends to vote to the left of Republicans.
Interestingly, all three groups painted the same picture (looking predominantly at his voting record). He's what you'd call a 66% conservative. What's that mean? If he's elected, liberals (progressives?) will shrug, "Eh. Could have been worse," while conservatives will be wincing, "Could've been better."

"The appropriate response to the dominant culture, then, is to refuse subserviance to it, to reject the domination of its norms, to withdraw selectively from all institutions that base their activities on the idolatries that control American life."
Herbert Schlossberg, Idols for Destruction, (Crossway, 1990), p 311.
A Biblical Christian must come to grip with the fact that the contemporary political landscape has taken on the nature of an idol and no longer has any vestiage of Biblical pattern for goverenment.
In light of this, can a Biblical Christian (vs a "nominal" Christian) support any Presidential candidate? It seems to me, he should abstain on the Presidential race and concentrate on local and state races where the candidates are less inclined to promise "messianic" results.
Would any candidate (save Ron Paul) dare to run on the theme, "Quit your whining and take care of yourself! This government is downsizing." The leviathan that has become the Federal looks nothing like its intended form. Great article in World Magazine about a book titled, "The Forgotten Man." The author, Amity Shlaes, talks about the terrible impact of the New Deal on our nation especially regarding the delay in exiting the Great Depression.
KC, you radical!
Is there not a write-in option on the ballot anymore?
Always an option. Much better than retreating to the monastery.
Too bad so many do look to the President as THE solution for our national ills instead of to a) the Man off the cross and b) the man in the mirror.
