Election Post-mortem
Well, the election is over and I send President-elect Obama congratulations on his victory. I did not support him, and we agree on very few issues. Sen. John McCain waged a brave battle against considerable odds, and in the end came up short 52%-47%. He was facing a strong political headwinds all year, with our country fighting two wars, in the middle of a recession and a real-estate collapse. Despite all this, he was actually leading in mid-September when the bottom fell out of the stock and financial markets. Then everyone starting panicking and reacting reflexively against the party in power. To the extent Pres. Obama governs from the center, he will have my party's cooperation. If he goes hard-left, GOP senators will block his every move. I would like to congratulate African-American voters in California for their decisive role in voting in favor of the gay marriage ban in that state. They voted 70%-30% in support of the proposition, wjhile Hispanics voted for it by a smaller margin. Anyone who thinks a liberal wave swept over America should look at this vote, as well as successful efforts in Florida and Arizona. This is just a temporary setback, and conservatives will be back to their winning ways soon...
I take my hat off to Vetsforfreedom.com, a 501(c)(4) dedicated to counteracting the evil influence of moveon.org, the leading group of antiwar kooks on the Internet today. They are dedicated to victory as much as MoveOn is dedicated to our defeat. Sen. Obama is changing his positions so fast and furiously, he's giving his left-wing supporters whiplash. He wonders why anyone would think he's a liberal weenie, just because he has a repulsive voting record. After years of supporting gun control, partial-birth abortion, gay marriage, and being a big spender, we're supposed to believe he's changed on all of that. Well, I was born at night, but not last night. This all strains credibility to the breaking point-- he's trying to sweet-talk a few rural hunters into voting for an ardently antigun politician. Just be what you are and what you have been for years-- a socialist. Don't fall for this ridiculous charade. He's hoping for the blind ignorance and gullibility of the voting public.

Today, right before the Iowa Caucuses, I am announcing my pick for President of United States. I am proud to endorse former NYC Mayor Rudi Giuliani for President. As a conservative, I have looked carefully over all of the well-qualified GOP candidates for president, and Rudy impresses me most of all. More than anything else, I am a national security conservative, and I am thoroughly convinced that Rudy will defend this country with determination and vigor. He proved his metal by showing strong leadership during one of our nation's darkest hours, the 9-11 Attack on NYC's World Trade Center. He also showed strength and determination in fighting organized crime in NY as a US Attorney under President Ronald Reagan. We do have some differences in social issues, but he wisely promised to appoint conservative judges in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas. That's good enough for me. Other candidates, like Gov. Huckabee of Arkansas are stronger on moral issues, but go soft on law enforcement and illegal immigration. We would all sleep more soundly with Rudy Giuliani as president in these turbulent times.
