Rick is Right for PA , George is Good for VA, Steele is Real Deal in MD & DeWine Will Do in OH

One Senatorial race that is critical to the conservative cause is the Rick Santorum-Bob Casey race in Pennsylvania. In a very strong pro-life state, Pennsylvania, the Democrats are running a pro-life candidate to improve their chances of winning. For the Democratic Party to run a pro-life candidate is some feat in itself. Rick Santorum has been out-front and outspoken on many conservative issues while in the Senate. He is also the target of the leftists in control of the Democratic Party. His victory in Pennsylvania will keep a real leader in the war against America's domestic enemies within, home grown terrorists, if you will. Today I heard Sean Hannity's radio interview with Senator Arlen Specter, who is also from Pennsylvania, praising Senator Santorum and supporting his re-election, saying the U.S. Senate needed him.

The
Faith2Action Voter Guide comments that Casey opposes abortion and believes Roe v. Wade should be overturned. To Santorum, "abortion is a toxin methodically poisoning our fragile moral ecosystem. . ." Casey seems less conservative on hate crimes, supporting increased penalties for hate crimes committed because of victim's sexual orientation. On the other hand, Santorum voted against adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes in 2002. Casey will push for a clear exit strategy out of Iraq. Santorum supports President Bush's course in Iraq and holds that national security and Western democracy are at stake if the U.S. fails.

In the George Allen-Jim Webb race in Virginia, Allen is clearly a strong conservative and Jim Webb is a typical lefist liberal. Surprisingly, according to the On the Issues
website, which analyzes the voting records of most candidates running for significant elected offices, classifies Webb, even to the left of Ohio's own Sherrod Brown, which says a lot.

Another important race for conservatives as were the previous two is the Michael Steele-Ben Cardin Senatorial race in Maryland. Ben Cardin is classified by On-the-Issues as a borderline liberal-moderate. Like nearly all major Democratic candidates, Cardin is pro-death and he is for expanding homosexual rights. Steele, a black, opposes abortion and believes marriage only between a man and a woman. It would be awesome to have a conservative man-of Steele serve as a role model for conservative blacks in Maryland and all over America.

In Ohio it is a Mike DeWine-Sherrod Brown race for U.S. Senate. Mike DeWine is not a true across-the-board conservative, but he is pro-life and appears to be mostly pro-traditional one-man, one-woman marriage. I have studied Sherrod Brown's miserable voting record and there are not too many politicians to the left of this hard-core extreme liberal. He is pro-death, supporting abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and euthanasia. He is also a strong supporter and proponent of the radical homosexual and environmentalist agendas. For any Ohioan who believes in morality and sancity of life and marraige, we really have no choice but to vote or DeWine. Anyone who believes and values the preservation of the traditional family is encouraged to vote DeWine over Brown, who is the antithesis of Judeo-Christian and conservative values.

Although DeWine is no Allen, no Santorum and no man-of-Steele he will do until we can either get a true conservative elected to that Senatorial seat. Brown would be an absolute disaster for both Ohio and for America.

With the likes of Santorum, Allen, Steele and if DeWine would lean more conservative and avoid his mistakenly moderate leanings during the next six years, conservatives would be in a stronger position to confirm a supreme court justice who will interpret rather than create law. The appointment of judges is one of the most important reasons that the conservative incumbents and some of their CINO (Conservatives in Name Only) friends need to be elected to the U.S. Senate this November 7th.

  1. Anohter thought about the Pennsylvania US Senate race, Senator Santorum would be a real counter or balance to the liberal Senator Specter, who is as liberal as nearly any Democrat.
