I'm Still Not Jumping Onboard the "Straight Talk Express"

I know some of the right-wing blogosphere has decided to let bygones be bygones with McCain, close ranks with the GOP for the good of the party and the maintenance of troop levels in Iraq. I'm not going to say they're wrong for doing that. I'm sure they've weighed the available options and decided, in their own judgment, that closing in behind McCain is the best choice. For my part, I've weighed the issues and decided that it isn't. I'm willing to respect the judgment of my fellow bloggers. I just disagree.

I'm not telling you to not vote for John McCain. I'm telling you to get informed, weigh your options carefully and use your own judgment.

For my part, when I look at this:

I just can't help but be reminded of this:

...which inevitably reminds me of this:

...and that, boys and girls, gets my blood boiling.

It seems a lot of folks seem to have forgotten what we went through last Summer over McCain's amnesty bill. Some of us haven't.

A lot of folks don't appear to be particularly concerned anymore about our broken borders and the loss of our national sovereignty. Some still are.

Michelle is still standing her ground, but maybe not for much longer:

Sorry, I’m not ready yet to submit just yet.

Endorsements are all well and good, but personnel is policy. And McCain has done nothing to disassociate himself from anti-conservative, pro-border obliterationists. Less talk. More action.

I wouldn't hold my breath hoping that McCain's going to tack right from here on out.

If you liked Senator McCain, you're going to LOVE President McCain.
