The following article put a chill in my heart. 

I have considered myself conservative in the past, I really would like to see spending discipline and smaller, moreeffective government.  I support Barrack because I believe his government will be more effective.  We are spread too thin internationally and we have invested in growing ownership at the expense of jobs and domestic innovation.

 With reading the recent article in the Washington Post entitled, Ban on Political Endorsements by Pastors Targeted, all of that has gone to a distant second.  It is now a second priority to threats against Democracy.  In this I don’t mean Telco immunity or suspension of Habeus Corpus, I mean the potential for fundamental loss of Democracy.  The following article outlines the fact that churches are now setting up a case to take to the Supreme Court to uphold their non-tax status and allow for direct support of political candidates.  In McCain’s court, that would pass.  It is not enough that churches are subsidized for things like day care, or outreach, now they will help directly to espouse political beliefs and election support.  The walls between the pulpit and politics are thin but this would tear them down completely. 

This would eventually mean that your voice would no longer be heard if you are not an Evangelist Christian. 

What person in their right mind, meaning people that care about religious plurality, separation of church and state, choice, diversity, or freedom would vote this party into office with cases like this in the Supreme Court pipeline?  This goes well beyond Roe v. Wade and promises to solidify unassailable Theo-conservatives as a majority for decades to come, fostering the religious wars in the heart of our country that our forefathers fought to guard against.

Palin has 60 days to learn what the VP does every day but will she have four years to learn what the President does every day?

We are not talking about candidates for a job interview, we are talking about employee performance reviews.  

This is a race between taking your medicine vs. learning to cough less.

We all trust John McCain, we just trust that he will implement Bush policy.

Palin Personality is new, empty attack politics is not.

Sexism & POW are the new excuses not to answer questions.

Palin is more W than W.

I feel like I am being sold my own car with a new hood ornament.

With Palin, He-who-will-not-be-named is finally the compassionate conservative he always wanted to be.

Small government is only good if it is effective.  

What no gay marriage?

Assuming McCain is a reformer, doesn’t he have to reform his Party before he can reform Washington and isn’t change going to be tough enough without the extra burden?

Isn’t everyone sick of this?

The change we promise is not limited to changing Washington players, it is a shift in opportunity.
