Despite my previously enumerated issues with McCain, his speech this past week on economic issues and his economic platform has won me over.
Especially after hearing how Obama and Clinton would automatically seek to raise taxes all around, in the interest of "Fairness", in the debate immediately following McCain's speech.
I think, when it comes to taxation and fiscal policy, McCain knows what's good for America and, subsequently, the rest of the world.
Thank God there is an America, where people who call themselves "conservatives" really are conservatives. At least the Right in America has not ceded the argument to the Left like they have here in the UK.
I have pretty much given up on Conservative politics here in the UK. The debate has been framed by the socialists, and I don't see any return from the brink unless there is a coup within the Conservative Party by a charismatic leader. It strikes me that any "conservative" policies the Conservatives adopt tend to be out of potential vote-winning instead of conviction. They aren't very convincing, the wets that are in charge right now.
Which is why I am glad that there are countries in the world where the socialists are losing the argument. Like France, Germany, and the US.
So in front of my meager audience, I am announcing my support for McCain. I may not agree with him 100%, but 80% is good enough for me.
(For those of you who wonder, I am both a British subject and a US citizen.)
