Minority Nominee?

    I visited Wikipedia to find the Republican  primary & caucus results. I tabulated the reported vote subtotals and tabulated them.  It appears that Senator McCain  received 7,908,469 votes. The total vote reported at Wikipedia is 18,199,065.
7,908,469 voted for McCain,  10,290,596 voted for someone else.

    McCain won  43.5%  of the vote.  McCain's supporters are outnumberd by 2,382,127.  Why, exactly, are we about to nominate a RINO, who

• opposed President Bush's tax cuts
• supported illegal alien amnesty
• sponsored legislation in violation of the first amendment
• enabled Democrats to Filibuster Supreme Court nominees
• wants to close the prison camp at Guantanimo and give the enemy combatants unwarranted "civil liberties"
• will not acknowledge  the identity of the enemy  who is at war with us, mislabeling it  'radical Islam'

56.5% of Republican  caucus & primary voters do not want McCain.  We allowed cross voting left wingers in the early  voting states to select our nominee. Why are we committing electoral suicide?  We need to reverse course, and nominate a Conservative Republican.  We must  raise our objections now, well in advance of the convention.  I urge you to sign and publicize the Give Us A Conservative Choice! petition.

    The petition is reproduced below for your convenience. Please copy this blog post, paste it into an email and give it the widest possible distribution.

Have you noticed that donations are declining? That the party's base lacks enthusiasm and optimism? That turnout was low, far below that of the Democrat primaries? Have you considered possible causes?

Could it be that we have endured eight years of a RINO in the White House, who won't veto pork laden appropriations, persevere in pursuing confirmation of his nominees or fight back against obnoxious partisanship?

Could it be that we are disgusted by the selection of Liberals masquerading as Conservatives so that we are effectively denied a choice in the primaries?

Could it be that we are disgusted by seeing our President hand in hand with an enemy who smiles in his face and stabs us in the back? Perhaps we are disgusted by a constant stream of lies about the identity of the enemy responsible for three thousand deaths one bright September morning seven years ago.

Have you considered the possibility that we Conservatives do not want four or eight more years of misgovernment mislabeled as Conservatism?

* Senator John McCain sided with the Democrats in frustrating Republican efforts to stop the Filibuster of judicial nominees.
* He co-authored McCain-Feingold, in violation of the first amendment.
* He wants to give terrorists captured on the battlefield the constitutional rights afforded to American citizens charged with domestic criminal offenses.
* He wants to leave our borders open and grant amnesty to illegal aliens.
* He panders to the Socialists with blather about "global warming" and caps on carbon dioxide emissions, which will ruin our economy and throw many people out of work.

So, I am supposed to vote for that RINO just because he will somehow win the war on terror? Yeah, wrong, he does not know who the enemy is! He blathers about "radical Islamic extremists" when the enemy is Islam.
In an interview with Dan Gilgoff, Senator McCain said::

"I admire the Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it. I think one of the great tragedies of the 21st century is that these forces of evil have perverted what's basically an honorable religion."

Good principles, such as:

* imperialistic conquest: fighting Pagans until all resistance ceases and only Allah is worshiped [Al-Anfal 39 ]
* fighting Jews and Christians until we are subjugated and pay extortion [Al-Taubah 29] [Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387]
* genocide: making a great slaughter is the entry ticket to Paradise [Al-Anfal 67] [Sunan Abu Dawud Book 38, Number 4390]
* terror sanctified as a battle tactic [Al-Anfal 12] [Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220]
* If the "forces of evil" "perverted" Islam, they did it 1385 years ago when Muhammad began his career of rapine with raids on camel caravans. What must a Muslim do to be saved?

O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment. That you believe in Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad), and that you strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with your wealth and your lives, that will be better for you, if you but know! [As-Saff 10..11 Read 9...14 for full context]

He can't win a war without knowing the identity of the enemy!!!

No and Hell No!!! Senator McCain is no better than Senator Hilary Clinton or Senator Barack Obama. I refuse to be a party to treason -- to the destruction of our economy, our liberty and the Constitution which protects them! I will not vote for the equal of evils. Nor will I vote for any congressional nor senatorial candidate who endorses Senator McCain.

Please copy this petition, paste it into an email, and send it to everyone in your address book, urging them to follow suit. Then send it to your local, state and national Republican party committees, and challenge them to direct the convention to nominate a genuine Conservative we can vote for in good conscience.

Sincerely,
