    “Tax, or No Tax”

    Posted on May 1, 2008 | Filed Under In My Opinion... 

    With apologies to the TV show “Deal, or No Deal”, we have a situation in which for Conservatives there is no clear winner. I’ve made myself pretty clear, I think, on the subject of John McCain’s bonifides as a Conservative. I don’t even like him personally, after sending him a personal letter (NOT an email) a few years back asking his positions on the then ongoing attack on the Second Amendment. His return letter spelled out his positions (favorable to the 2nd Amendment) and his PROMISE that he would NEVER abrogate those rights. He them turned around and voted to do just that. So much for a politicians promises, eh?

    But again we (we being Conservatives) find ourselves in a no-win situation - having to vote for someone we don’t much care for because the opponent is too hideous to even consider. The old “lesser of two evils” once again rears its ugly head.

    McCainCare vs. ObamaCare

    Conservatives like to kvetch about John McCain, and not without reason. McCain has, over the years, given us plenty to complain about. Not only has he sided with the forces of darkness on immigration, the Bush tax cuts and the interrogation of terrorists, he is responsible for one of the most egregious attacks on political speech ever devised — The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. Many conservatives are therefore uncomfortable with McCain as the Republican standard bearer in the upcoming Presidential election.

    McCain will not, however, be running against Ronald Reagan or William F. Buckley in November. His opponent, barring a party-wrecking decision by the Democrat superdelegates, will be Barack Obama. And, on his most heretical day, McCain would be a better President than the Senator from Illinois. McCain’s conservatism is indeed less-than-pure, but he is a conservative. Obama, his facility with innocuous-sounding bromides notwithstanding, is a classic nanny-state liberal.

    Nowhere are the ideological differences between McCain and Obama more obvious than in their respective approaches to health care reform. McCain would emphasize consumer choice, markets and tax reform, while eschewing government-run health care. As he put it on April 28, at the launch of his “Call to Action” tour, “I am convinced that the wrong way to go is to turn over your lives to the government and hope it will all be fine.” Obama, on the other hand, places considerable faith in the state, favoring the shopworn tools of big-government liberalism: central planning, oppressive bureaucracy, and the creation of new entitlement programs.
