McCain

McCain is looker stronger than I expected him to, after wins in New Hampshire and Florida. I told a friend the other day that if he was the Republican nominee I would abstain from voting for the President in the next election.

I said this because I believe McCain to be a RINO, Republican in Name Only. His domestic platform is completely liberal. When the Democrats in Congress wanted support from the Republicans they went to him for co-sponsorship. Look at McCain-Feingold and McCain-Kennedy, both disastrous legislation. Thankfully the border bill didn't pass.

I'm going to disagree with myself though. While I don't agree with his domestic platform, I do agree with him on his stance on the war and terrorism. So, if it was between him and any of the Democrats, I would vote for him, but with extreme hesitancy, knowing that he would be only slightly better than a Clinton or Obama White House. The Democratic candidates I disagree with completely.

2008 Elections

The election cycle is getting really crazy, like a circus. So far, I like Mitt Romney out of the Republican candidates, and couldn't see myself voting for McCain or any of the Democrat candidates. McCain seems like a RINO to me (Republican in Name Only), especially with his history of liberal legislation as Senator. I could see supporting any of the other Republican candidates though. We'll just have to see election time. Maybe by then a few candidates will have dropped out, easing my decision.

Here's an interesting snippet about Ann Romney: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,299035,00.html

Happy 2008!

Y2K seems like forever ago already. Man time flies. Happy New Year all! Ashley and I are recently back from Hawaii were we spent Christmas with her side of the family. The weather was gorgeous, and our trip was jam packed full of exciting events. I hope to share photos with you soon.

Christmas

Happy Christmas all. Ashley and I are off to Hawaii for time with her family. I may not get a chance to post again before the new year. So, that being the case, enjoy your holidays.

Church Shooting

You may or may not have heard about the church shooting this week. You can read more about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316651,00.html. There were two brave individuals there, one the female security guard who, while under fire, calmly returned fire killing the murderer. The second was a former Veteran who tried to get the other two security guards to take action, failing that, he attempted to take the security guard's pistol in order to return fire himself.

Update

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, Ashley and I have been a little busy. Quick recap though. Last weekend we went to Las Vegas on a Company Christmas outing. We had good luck at the craps tables and won around $550, which pretty much paid for the trip.

Last week I was in Wisconsin for a couple days on a quick Guard trip, and the weekend before that was my Guard weekend. We had a lot of snow in Wisconsin, and at home too. Around 6 inches. Most of which is still around suprisingly.

Ashley and I have one weekend at home, then we're off to Hawaii for a few weeks over Christmas. We're both looking forward to spending the time with family, the holidays, and just slowing down for a couple days.
