Three Words: The Supreme Court

With all of the negatives that are a major part of the McCain/Republican ticket, there is no more important distinction between Barack Obama and John McCain than who gets the chance to nominate the next Supreme Court justices. With six of the nine justices over 70 years old, and with at least two really pushing the age envelope and wishing to enjoy the twilight years of their lives, this issue is not mere conjecture; it is almost a certainty.

While I don’t believe for a moment that millions will cross over and vote for a John McCain if they no longer have Hillary Clinton on the Democratic ticket, I do believe that some percentage of disgruntled Democrats will do just that, and it is all of our responsibilities to make certain that we express in the strongest terms a vote for McCain will give him the next nominations to the Supreme Court. This would be nothing short of disaster http://www.alternet.org/democracy/85432/.

I don’t know about you – and I realize that you loyal readers already get this – but I like my civil liberties. I don’t want indiscriminate spying on any supposed enemies of the Republican Party, and although I am not a fan of abortion, I vehemently support a woman’s right to choose the procedure if that suits her. I kind of like three separate branches of government independent of each other, and I don’t support any additional power for the executive branch and the president.

It is imperative that we get the word out to all Obama detractors and naysayers who even intimate that they may just go over and defiantly vote for McCain and what this choice will cost all of us, and along with the laundry list of negatives that McCain carries with him into the general election, maybe we can bring these passionate but misguided Democrats back into the fold.
