« An Answer for People with Bad Credit | Main | Chalk Another One Up for Mitt Romney »

February 02, 2008

It's Not Too Late to Turn Back Now

Don’t let the mainstream media gatekeepers tell you this race is over and that John McCain is the inevitable presidential nominee of the Republican Party. We can’t afford to nominate a RINO (Republican in name only). Don’t just cast votes of assent based on decisions made by voters in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida. Remember that McCain used dubious tactics to win in Florida. Let’s not reward him for it. 

Don’t be influenced by the rash of endorsements McCain is getting from various governors, senators, congressman, and other muckety-mucks. Where were these endorsements for McCain last summer when he was struggling? He's the same man now that he was back then -- the only thing that's changed is his standing in the polls. Obviously, these people are just jumping on his bandwagon now because they think he’s going to win. They are hoping for quid-pro-quo favors like cabinet appointments and ambassadorships once he’s elected. They are not standing up for principle; they are looking out for their own political careers. Politicians are like rats that jump from sinking ships and swim toward those that they believe will stay afloat. Like one commentator recently observed, these people are not exactly profiles in courage.

Don’t let the Republican Party be branded with the mark of McCain. Let’s stop him now. Let’s help Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Ron Paul wage a type of political guerilla warfare against McCain, working hard for every possible delegate to keep them away from his grasp. It can be done if each voter would ignore all the media hype and vote his or her conscience. Indeed, real Republicans are not falling in love with John McCain, so it’s not too late to turn back now.

Blog Summary


  • No-holds-barred commentary (and humor) by Terry Mitchell on a variety of subjects such as current events, society and culture, politics, personal finance, technology, religion, health and well-being, sports, media issues, and trivia.

    His blog entries have been picked up or linked to by mainstream news services like Reuters, CNN, Wall Street Journal Online, USA Today, the Houston Chronicle, the Austin American-Statesman, the Dallas Morning News, the Chicago Sun Times, the Palm Beach Post, CoxOhio.com, Northwest Florida Daily News, ConsumerAffairs.com, WWL-TV, WMUR, and WNBC. In addition to his blogging, he is currently a regular columnist for etalkinghead.com and American Chronicle. He has also written over 100 feature-length articles that have appeared on numerous Web sites.

    In this blog, Terry will never miss an opportunity to assail political correctness or take pot shots at the conventional foolishness.

    In this age of information overload, Terry knows that most people don't have time to read long, rambling blog entries. Therefore, he serves up most of his posts on this blog in small, bite-size portions. You'll appreciate his cut-to-the-chase writing style that gets straight to the point without the unnecessary and boring lead-ins.

    Also, Terry makes following promises in regard to this blog that very few bloggers will make:

    1) Posts which are always family-friendly and free of profanity and vulgarity (despite this fact, this blog is never boring and never shies away from controversy).

    2) A reasonable effort to assure proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure.

    Readers are free to comment, both pro and con, on any post. However, any comments that include profanity or name-calling will be promptly deleted. One who cannot defend his position on a given issue without resorting to such tactics is, at best, too ignorant to adequately defend his position, and at worst, lacking a defensible position altogether.

    For Terry's biography (in his own words), see the "ABOUT" link on the left side of this page, just below his photo.
