I am a Flip Flopper

August 30, 2008 by Joe 

I have changed my mind.

I have written some pretty bad things about John McCain on this site, I called him Juan McCain, I called him a RINO, and a bunch of other things I won’t bring up. You can check the archives if you want to read them.

I was, still am a Fred Head. As a matter of fact Fred Thompson was the first Political candidate, whom has ever caused me to separate my money from my wallet by donating to his campaign, when he dropped out of the race, I reluctantly went over to Romney. When it became apparent that John McCain was the GOP’s nominee, I was livid. I was so upset, have been so upset for the past few months that I just couldn’t find the motivation to blog here on this site and have considered shutting it down.

Despite that I had fully, and reluctantly, planned to hold my nose from the stink, and cast my vote not so much for John McCain but against Barrack Obama.

I am now announcing that I have changed my mind, I will not be holding my nose and going to the booth on election day to cast my vote against Obama.

That’s right I have flip flopped.

On November 4th, 2008 I will proudly head to my local voting station, step into that booth and cast my vote FOR JOHN MCCAIN.

That’s right, as you can see from the banner on the side bar, I have jumped firmy aboard the Straight Talk Express.

John McCain, has just hit a Grand Slam Home Run with his pick for his Vice Presidential candidate. I haven’t been this excited since Fred Thompson completely owned the South Carolina Republican debates.

Sarah Palin is exactly what John McCain’s candidacy, the Republican Party, Washington D.C. and the whole country needs.

She’s a pro-life, pro second amendment, pro free market, pro drilling in the US, young fresh face on the political scene who is the only true non politics as usual Washington insider currently on the campaign trail.

I am jacked about this pick.

    AMEN! I have never disliked McCain, so I did not do a flip flop today, but let me tell you that my excitement about this hugely conservative tough woman is still not contained! I went on the War Zone and praised her (and by the way, Derek flip flopped today just like you).

    Conservatives everywhere are in the excitement mode we’ve been waiting for!!!!!

    God Bless America!!

    I’m glad you’re “jacked.” Palin has sure pumped up my enthusiasm again - almost like old times when we were so psyched by Fred.

    I can’t tell you what a dramatic turn around this is for me. I was still on the fence about whether I would even vote for McCain until today. He hit a grand slam with his pick and Obama struck out with his. The Obama campaign has to be pretty bummed tonight.

    I just did a lengthy comprehensive post on her. I am so psyched that the first woman VP on the Republican ticket is someone so stellar as her. Woo-hoo!!

    Right there with you Joe. Of course that’s why the pick was made; to get those reluctant John McCain voters and also some of the fence sitters to be more confident.

    Whatever the reason for the pick, I agree it was a great one.
