This is in response to an Obama supporter who criticized State Assemblyman Brett Davis for voting the "Republican line" 97 percent of the time.
Why do you think it strange that a Republican should vote the Republican Party line 99 percent of the time? Are there not Democrats who vote their party's line 99 percent of the time? Or do you think it is some kind of crime to be a Republican? Isn't it great to live in a country where we have a choice?
A question to Obama supporters: What has he done in his adult life that qualifies him to be the leader of the free world? Not one. In that, he was truthful. And I would be less than truthful if I did not mention his one accomplishment in the Illinois Legislature ... he strenuously opposed a bill that would have banned partial-birth abortions.
If he truly is for change, why didn't he author or support any legislation in the U.S. Senate that championed change? In his three and a half years in the Senate, has he ever railed against the spending excesses of the federal government? Not once.
In 2005, John McCain warned of a future financial disaster if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not reined in. At that time, he co-sponsored the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, Senate Bill 190, that would have curtailed the excesses of these mortgage giants. That legislation never saw the light of day in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Where was the "Apostle of Change?"
I am a conservative. John McCain was not my first choice to head the Republican ticket. However, when it boils down to who I trust to guard America's freedoms, it's an easy choice.
