John McCain says Its not the social issues I care about

Wow, the ONLY issue John McCain carries any weight on is defense. I would argue that he is poor on that as well. He has been a US Senator for Arizona for nigh on 25 years. His claim is the same thing over and over, "I've been on the committees in Washington all this time defending America".

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Sorry, I can't help but laugh at that.

If John McCain has been on the committees all this time, then he is PART OF THE PROBLEM. He hasn't kept us safe; he didn't protect America sitting in a plush seat in Washington. It was the soldiers that did the work. But I digress; this post is about social issues.

The Washington Post recently reported the following surprising statement:

McCain seems distinctly uninterested when asked questions concerning abortion
and gay rights. While campaigning in South Carolina, he told reporters riding with him on his bus that he was comfortable pledging to appoint judges who would strictly interpret the Constitution in part because it would reassure conservatives who might otherwise distrust him.
"It's not social issues I care about," he explained.

John McCain ignores economic and social conservatives. Only Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee have declared their intentions to keep conservative judges and move forward on social issues. Their Presidential platforms are pro-life and pro-family.

I found this on Article VI blog (this is a MUST READ):

As things have turned out, Evangelicals have not refused, so much, to vote for Mitt Romney because he is Mormon, they have instead chosen to vote for Mike Huckabee because he is “one of us.” How much a role suspicion and bias against Mormonism has played in that somewhat more positive-appearing choice is a determination that will ultimately be up to pollsters and psychologists in the years after the election to determine. And while it may not be “bigotry” it is identity politics, and they are as suicidal as pure bigotry.
No identity group is sufficiently large to carry a presidential election. A coalition is required. What Mike Huckabee has done is peel off one section of the traditional conservative coalition, Evangelicals, and claimed it for himself. With the coalition split, neither Evangelicals or the greater conservative coalition can win.
The presidential candidate for a party leads that party. That leader is going to pay attention to and drive the agenda of the coalition that got him there. Not only are Evangelicals not part of the coalition that has gotten John McCain this far, McCain has in the past loudly and actively found Evangelicals distasteful.

Let's face it though, only Mitt Romney has the money to continue on. And recent polls show Huckabee with a 5 to 8 percent change of winning against a Democrat. I hope Huckabee supporters will throw their support behind Romney so we can ALL block McCain.

McCain can continue to help the war from his plush Washington chair. Romney can help America face the global economy. In fact, economists estimate that 80% of jobs in 20 years haven’t even been thought of yet. I believe Mitt Romney can position America on a global scale to take advantage of those opportunities. He supports social issues and he knows how to bring together a strong team for national defense.

Now is the time to Rally to Romney.
