My personal politics - and my grave concerns

I am deeply concerned about the direction that the mainstream media has been, and continues to steer the American's thoughts. With the Primary Elections coming up on Tuesday in 22 states, it will be pretty much decided by Wednesday morning who will be on the Ballot for president and other elected offices in November. It appears that this is not just another election, but that the very foundations of our society are at risk. The Republican Party mainstream is no longer pro-family, pro-life, anti-abortion, anti gun control, anti-gay marriage, personal rights friendly. Pres. Bush and many others in the Republican Party are in the process of wiping out our national sovereignty as the North American Union is being formed - almost without a complaint in the media. There are surface issues like illegal immigration, the Iraq and possible Iran wars, etc. that the news media concentrates on that are important, but maybe not as important as these other issues that are being largely ignored, and are / will destroy the moral fiber of our nation. I am more concerned than I've ever been about our country, and I urge you to take some time away from the entertainment of your life, and spend at least a few minutes getting informed. You can easily search for the histories and voting / policy records of the candidates online. Our children's world will be much different than we want if something is not done to stop the trend underfoot today.

Here is a link where you can look up the voting records of the candidates, and make up your own mind about many issues. It is very frustrating to me when this shows many NO VOTE entries, by these people that say they want to lead our nation. http://votesmart.org/

Here is one quick glance at Presidential candidates views; don't just take their word for it - take the time to look up the footnotes and prove it to yourselves. I know that the American Family Assn that published this is quite right-wing, Christian-biased, etc., but aren't you also?? http://www.afa.net/pdfs/08vg.pdf

You've got to read this before you even think of voting for Mr. Romney: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=60022
Wikipedia on Romney shows that he has changed his mind on this... I don't trust him.

Here are some links that provide many, many facts about the Presidential candidates that every voter ought to read.
Romney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_romney
McCain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain
Huckabee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huckabee#_note-146
Paul: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_paul

We'll probably at least try to make a statement by voting for Mike Huckabee, if he hasn't bailed out by August, when our Colorado primary is. Other than Mike, I am at a loss as to who to vote for. Ron Paul shares many of my views, but likely is not electable.
