It is fair to note what has become a shadow issue in the 2008 Presidential race is national security, national defense and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Democratic party base lead by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and their friends at MoveOn, etc., has not supported the troops and continuously called for surrender in Iraq especially and met with leaders of Syria and other state sponsors of terror over the last year. Their totally reprehensible treatment of General Patraeus and opposition to the troop surge in Iraq was the focal point of their surrender strategy and appeasement campaign as well as their central theme for a so-called New Direction for America since the midterm elections. They have become silent on the issue since it became successful with the exception of calling for withdrawal several times since. Every Democratic party candidate has called for immediate withdrawal from Iraq and used the statements as a central theme of their campaigns. Reason enough to reject them all as Presidential candidates.

From the beginning of the 2008 campaign for President the GOP had three liberal leaning candidates among the top tier of contenders. That would be Senator John McCain, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Governor Mike Huckabee. Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney were the most conservative candidates in the mix. Now that former Senator Fred Thompson has withdrawn from the race, Mitt Romney is the closest thing to a true conservative still running in the 2008 Presidential campaign.

This blog has supported Mitt Romney for President from the beginning. In answer to Thompson supporters this blog noted that he was the 2nd choice and would be supported if Romney did not survive the contests. Mitt Romney has the most delegates and has done a satisfactory job answering critics about his issue positions. Only those who require perfection from candidates as their sole argument in opposition to any candidate have continued to suggest that Romney is flawed in his positions. Of course those who happen to support another candidate use the tired arguments in an attempt to defeat him. The undeniable fact that Mitt Romney is exceptionally intelligent, educated and talented as well as disciplined and incredibly successful is reason enough to support him for President.

If you are looking for a perfect candidate you won’t find one. If you are looking for a candidate who will deliver exactly what you want you are likely to fail. But if you want a candidate with honorable values, the ability to restore success where there is failure and who will surround himself with other successful people to accomplish the tasks facing this country you would be hard pressed to find a better candidate than Mitt Romney.

Both McCain and Huckabee have questionable views on immigration, especially the illegal variety. Giuliani may as well and also is characterized as a liberal on social issues. Since the Dems fail in the most basic principles like supporting the troops and calling for surrender when the country is at war and the other three GOP candidates are less conservative than Mitt Romney, the choice should be simple.

If you want to straighten out what is wrong in this country, you should vote for Mitt Romney.
