Fox News is reporting that the RNC is saying McCain won't pick anti-life candidate for VP. Read it
here.
We can only hope McCain comes to his senses on this one. A President McCain is going to need to be watched for lapses in judgement (although far less then a President Obama). A maverick isn't always the best choice. I hope that McCain gets someone who can run for President in 2012, and then stick with one term. It seems strange that the major parties still prefer an anti-life candidate even though the vast majority of the population of the U.S. is pro-life. A great conservative Vice President choice will help McCain win the White House, an Anti-Life Candidate will help him lose it.
I have always wondered why the U.S. doesn't have a major conservative party. The largest majority of people in the U.S. are conservative, and yet have very little in the way of political power. The Democrats have run all of conservatives out of that party, and the Republican give very little due to the ones who have kept them in power for most of the last twenty years. Maybe its because there once were conservatives in both parties at one time.
Maybe in the future there will be one. If the two party system is still stuck in place (We can hope to rid ourselves of that someday too), the Democrat party will be small, or no longer around (due to being so far left), the Republicans the "liberal" party (since being conservative just isn't something they seem to want at times). The new conservative party would be the second (or first) large party and be the majority party. Wouldn't it be nice:
If Nobody questioning why its party platform is,,,,,,,,,,,
Pro-Life
Pro-Family
Pro-Freedom of Faith
Pro-Free Enterprise
Pro-Constitution (as written)
Pro-Military
I get so tired of folks questioning the basics, that should be standard and benchmark of all American political parties. The above things should be what all Americans want not just "conservative" values. Why aren't these things standard?
