The Conservative Exodus Project has released another petition, which can be signed at: www.conservativeexodusproject.com The Conservative Exodus Project is a group of traditionalist conservatives who, realizing that the GOP is moving too leftward, started a petition on March 3, 2007 to encourage conservatives to leave the GOP if a suitable presidential candidate is not chosen in 2008. The text of the petition reads: "We, the undersigned, pledge not to elect another globalist for president. "Regarding illegal and legal immigration, both Barack Obama and John McCain support the Third World invasion of the United States, and thus are guilty of treason. "Both Barack Obama and John McCain advocate ruinous free trade agreements, which undermine our economy. (Conservatives historically have opposed ideological free trade, but many in the GOP have been "neoconned" on this issue.) "Both Barack Obama and John McCain are interventionists, the former supporting war in Darfur, the latter in Iraq and Iran. The transformation of the Middle East (or anywhere else) to liberal democracy is Wilsonian internationalism, not conservatism. "Because the two main-party candidates are unacceptable, we pledge not to vote or to vote third party this November." © Copyright 2002-2008 by Magic City Morning Star |
