People of the Potomac: Stop the McCain Express!


Help Derail the McCain "Just Talk Conservative" Express
.
Voters in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. have a chance to stop or at least slow down the McCain "Straight Talk" Express, which could be better described as "Just Talk Conservative" Express.
.
There are two other candidates in the running for the GOP nomination, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. It would be great if McCain was denied the nomination based on insufficient delegates going into the GOP National Convention.
.
Personally the social issues of life and traditional marriage protection are most important to me and many other conservative and true Chrstian and other Values Voters.
.
The following two questions were taken from the Values Voter Guide for 2008 Presidntial Candidates, which as recently compiled and released by FRC Action. See for yourself where the major candidates stand on these to moral issues:
.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research - Would you support, and continue President Bush's ban on the use of federal funds for research on Human embryonic stem cell lines created after August 2001?
Republicans:
Huckabee - Yes
McCain - No
Paul - No
Democrats:
Obama - No
Rodham-Clinton - No
.
Promoting Stronger Marriages - Do you support a U.S. constitutional amendment to define and protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman?
Republicans:
Huckabee - Yes
McCain - No
Paul - No
Democrats:
Obama - No
Rodham-Clinton - No
.
Governor Huckabee is not the perfect candidate by far. But he may be good enough to stop McCain from coasting to the Republican nomination. Huckabee is right on these two critical social issues, life and marriage. These are two very important reasons to vote for Huckabee and against McCain.
.
If the nomination is deadlocked going into the GOP Convention, then there is a good chance a real conservative will be nominated ahead of any of the current or recent candidates. This candidate would chanpion a real conservative position and provide a real contrast to either Obama or Rodham-Clinton. Right now McCain and the two Democrats are two sides of the same worn liberal coin.
