McCain is the man...(?)

So here is the deal... John McCain is most likely going to be the republican presidential
nominee. Like it or hate it, its pretty much a fact. Now, I realize that he is not everyone's
first choice due to his somewhat wavering stances on different topics. I take that back...
he does not necessarily waver, but certain ideals tend to lean toward democratic stances.
John McCain has been known to "reach across the aisle" (if I may use his
own words) to get things accomplished in the senate. Many people are quite upset
about this fact and think that, if elected, John McCain may not end up being as
conservative as they had hoped. This blog is for those people who are concerned. I have
two things to say to you:

1) With all due respect, please move on. John McCain was not my first choice either, but as I mentioned before, it’s almost certain that he will be the man representing the republican convention for the 2008 presidential election. If you are a republican and you want to see a republican in office, then you better start supporting him. He will not be able to win if all of the republicans who wanted someone else in office just decided to sit back and watch. So please, get past the pride you had in your nominee and support John McCain.
(Side note... I know McCain is not the official nominee yet, so until then, if you want to continue to fight for your original nominee, by all means, please do. That would seem to be the right thing to do. I myself have not totally given up on my original guy...but i'm almost there.)

2) Personally, I like the idea of "reaching across the aisle". If that never happened, a lot of things would never get done. It really is not that bad if you stop to think about it. Of course, if the aisle reaching was done on a topic such as legalizing murder (I know...unrealistic but try to get the picture) then I would expect people to be concerned and totally oppose him no matter what party he, or you, belonged to. But when it comes to things that are not very cut and dry between parties, then I would expect some aisle reaching. Not everyone in the Democratic Party has the same ideals about every topic, nor does every republican. John McCain's ideas are not all "republicratic" (yeah, I just made up a word I think). He is a pretty conservative thinking guy. I believe that would not change if you were elected president. So, let "reaching across the aisle" be okay as long as it does not affect a black and white issue.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are a republican and you would like a republican in office, then get on the McCain train. If you are unsure exactly who you want to vote for yet, then I encourage you to do some in depth research. Find out what president most resembles your views. Voting is a great privilege and a great opportunity... Take advantage of it.

PS: In response to some comments that have been recieved I would like to make another statement here. Please do not totally make a blind decision on who you want to vote for. In my saying that people should "jump on the McCain train" I was not clear in the fact that people should do that after making sure they want a republican in the White House and have looked at his political ideas. That goes along with what I said in my last paragraph...do your research people.
