McCain is our choice for President

2008-10-29 / Opinion

Without question, our support goes to the Republican Presidential Candidate John Mc- Cain, who we believe, can help move this country in the right direction. His opponent, Barack Obama, though a decent man, and

good candidate who has elevated the discourse in American politics, represents a political move too far to the left, and one that we do not believe represents the culture, politics or history of America. This is solidified by the fact that Obama has, over his many years as a civic leader and Senator, edged dangerously close

to the radical views expressed, verbally and overtly by some of his closest allies, including William Ayers, a member of the murderous and militant Weatherman organization in the 1960s. This, we believe, shows a lack of sophistication and solid judgment that would be devastating in the Oval Office.

McCain, on the other hand, has, throughout his life, showed his commitment to country. He made the toughest of choices while a Prisoner of War during the Viet Nam War, a war that Ayers and his ilk were violently protesting in what we now know was an effort to overthrow the government. It is that William Ayers that Obama calls his friend and colleague.

McCain is sound, optimistic about America and broad-minded enough to make dramatic changes in these dramatic times. He represents the best hope we have for a future that our Founding Fathers would recognize.
