Chris Beer, a.k.a. the Mason Conservative, has declared his support for John McCain.
He may the only one in the Old Dominion Blog Alliance (although the rest of us left the group for a myriad of reasons).
Chris makes the following (and pertinent) observations:
Romney, on the other hand, has run campaigns as a liberal Republican . . . vowing in a 1994 Senate race to be better on abortion than Ted Kennedy! While McCain has had lapses from conservatism, he hasn’t run away from them and pretend he is something he is not. Romney is transparent, a chameleon, ready to morph into what conservatives want without thinking. He is given to trends and that is not what I look for in leadership.
. . . And above all else, the most important issue facing this country is the declared war on America perpitrated (sic) by the Islamo-Fascits across the Globe, and the Iraq War. John McCain has stayed strong, defied polls, and shown the backbone not only to support President Bush, but actively (with Joe Lieberman) give the President crucial political cover and use his own popularity to give Bush’s Surge credibility. . . This dedication to fighting this Terror War is what has overwhelmingly swung me to McCain. Governor Romney I sure is a nice man, but in times like this he does not hold up.
I stand with John McCain.
Well said, Chris.
Now, if we can just talk a little about our U.S. Senate race.
