Why I Am Voting for John McCain

A year ago, John McCain was far from my first choice as the republican nominee for president. I can think of other people I'd rather vote for, but the choice is down to McCain and Obama.

There are plenty of conservatives who don't think McCain is conservative enough and so they are either voting for some third party candidate or not voting at all. I know people like that. The results of that backwards kind of thinking are obvious - it will be devastating for the country.

I don't think McCain is the real conservative that we need, but I'd be kidding myself if I didn't think he was the best of the two we have to choose from. I disagree with McCain on many fronts. BUT, I am voting for him and so should you, and let me tell you why.

John McCain loves his country. And he doesn't just SAY it, he has proven it. John McCain is a loyal and courageous man. He doesn't just give speeches about it, he has lived it. In our day of the threat of terrorism, we need a loyal and courageous man in the White House. John McCain is tough. Anyone who spends five-and-a-half years being beaten and kicked around by the North Vietnamese prison guards is tougher than nails. John McCain is a hero. He had the opportunity to come home after a couple years and he said 'no'. He didn't want to give in to the propaganda machine or go home before others who were imprisoned before he was. That is selfless. I want a tough guy - a real man- a hero in the White House. He won't equivocate or vascilate on the toughest issues of our times. I am confident that his heroic experiences in the Vietnam war will come back to serve him well as the President of the United States. That's why I am voting for John McCain. Consider the alternative.

Spend the time to read this lengthy ARCTICLE ON JOHN MCCAIN. It is worth your time to get to know this man.

I Believe...

1). I believe that there is one God. I believe God consists of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2). I believe that God is holy, righteous, loving, and just.
3). I believe that mankind is separated from God by sin; that sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin.
4). I believe that, because of sin, man is condemned. Because of God’s utter hatred for sin, there is an eternal conscious punishment in hell for all those who do not come to God on His terms, dealing with their sin.
5). I believe that confessing our sins and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way to properly deal with the sin that has infected everyone. Jesus Christ paid our sin debt on the cross; reconciliation by substitution. There is nothing we can do to add to the finished work of Christ.
6). I believe in the security of the believer, that once he is truly born-again, there is nothing that would cause him to lose his salvation.
7). I believe that upon the death of a true believer in Christ, that he is ushered immediately into the presence of the Lord, where he will live in everlasting joy in Heaven, experiencing eternal fellowship with God.
8). I believe in believer’s baptism by immersion. I don’t believe baptism is necessary for salvation, but it is a beautiful outward profession of an inward possession.
9). I believe in a literal 6-day creation where God created the heavens and the earth and then rested on the seventh day.
10). I believe that the words written in the Bible are truth. I believe that the Bible is inerrant in its parts and in its whole. I believe that the 66 books that make up the canon of scripture make the Bible complete and that God inspired the words written therein. The things that were written down in the Bible are sufficient for every need we have. Not only is God’s Word sufficient, but it is far superior to any other method of handling the problems that man faces, since He has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness.
