I’ve heard the arguments. If you allow the Democrat to win the presidency, he or she will push for socialized medicine. If you allow the Democrat to win, he or she will raise taxes. If you allow the Democrat to win the presidency, he or she will destroy the economy.  The list goes on and on.

What most people fail to see is that there is no way to avoid these attacks on freedom. Republicans will not hold the presidency forever, and eventually a Democrat is going to get in there and start proposing all those socialist measures. It is going to happen and we are going to have to engage them in battle over these things sooner or later. Why not now? 

If we put a John McCain in the presidency we lose the battle because he will give away the farm to the Democrats to placate them and bring about all the socialist things we hate. After all, he is their friend and strongest ally. 

Isn’t it better to let the Democrats have the presidency now and let them try to promote their socialist agenda while they are in such disarray with two weak, bickering candidates? The Democrat agenda is vulnerable now because of the incompetence and weakness of the people proposing it. Now is the time to allow them the opportunity to try and push their agenda so we can crush it and use it as a springboard from which to launch a new, more robust conservative movement that will ensure our recapturing the White House in 2012, this time with a true conservative in charge.

Sometimes to achieve victory you have to appear to be surrendering. Permit the Democrats and the media to think what they may; we know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. This is nothing but a strategic move to better position ourselves for final victory. Electing John McCain would be no victory at all. In effect, it would be the greatest defeat we could sustain. 

"I will put an end to this, once and for all . . . I will stop the motor of the world."     - John Galt*

Conservative Strike Vote - John Galt for President

The Republican Party has already sustained its defeat. It happened the minute Mitt Romney withdrew and the party ordained a liberal Democrat its inevitable presidential nominee. Therefore, the Republican Party will be absent from this year’s presidential election, leaving it an all-Democrat election: Democrat John McCain vs. whichever other liberal is chosen as the “official” Democrat candidate. And in an election where only Democrats are running, there can be no Republican conservative victor.

In his arrogance, McCain can’t see the reality of his situation. By himself, he can’t defeat the combined forces of his Democrat colleagues and the media who continually play him for the fool that he is. The supposed legions of liberal McCain voters are an army of specters that will vanish without a trace on Election Day.

And what of the conservative voters? Are we once again going to sacrifice our principles, our work, our values, our lives, and our self-respect to the dictates of people like John McCain who have not done one thing to earn our loyalty? I think not.

Although we cannot in good conscience promote the insanity of the left, we can stand back and allow it to collapse under the weight of its own immorality. Obama, Clinton, and McCain would all be disasters for this country, but McCain would be a double disaster. He would damage the country and destroy the Republican Party, leaving no base from which to mount a recovery effort in four years. However, if we can at least salvage—and purge—the Republican Party by staging a strike this election, we will be in better shape to begin the process of rebuilding the country after the storm has passed.

John Galt, the fictional character from Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged," is the perfect symbol for our effort, and a write-in vote for him in the presidential election will communicate our solidarity and power to those who feel we exist solely to advance their own selfish political ambitions and power.

With unqualified and unacceptable liberal candidates running for president, many conservatives are considering "sitting out" the '08 election.  The problem is that such action would miss the mark.  Lack of participation would simply be spun as voter apathy.  But if there's is one thing we conservatives are not, it's apathetic.

What's needed is a conservative strike vote, a courageous, deliberate action that sends a clear message, a message that can be tabulated and documented, a tough love message that cannot be ignored.

There is no better way to send a message that says enough is enough than to write in the name of Ayn Rand's fictional character, John Galt, when voting for president this year. It will deliver the unmistakable message that we will no longer cooperate in our own destruction for the unearned and undeserved benefit of others.

"I will put an end to this, once and for all . . . I will stop the motor of the world."   - John Galt*
