PENCE ENDORSES McCAIN
IN INDIANA NEWSPAPER

U.S. Congressman Mike Pence today endorsed Senator John McCain for President of the United States.  Pence’s endorsement editorial was printed in this morning’s Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette.  Below are excerpts from the editorial and a link to the full text.

McCain's Courage, Values Right for President
By Mike Pence

“We stand on the precipice of a national election that will define America’s place in the world, determine the federal government’s place in our lives and determine national policy on life and marriage.

“As we witnessed in the GOP primary races for president, most conservatives had difficulty getting excited about any of the candidates. Many conservatives still wish they had a better choice.

“But not liking the choice is not the same as having no choice. In this election, there is a clear choice for the American people. I choose John McCain.

“McCain brings a lifetime of experience in national security, government reform and support for traditional values that makes him uniquely suited to be the GOP standard bearer in 2008.

“I am also supporting McCain for president because I believe he provides a clear contrast to the alternatives and because he possesses the character and experience to lead our nation during these troubled times.

“Despite our differences on some key issues, I have gotten to know Sen. McCain over the past few years, and I have come to admire him on many policy positions and on a personal level.

“These difficult times call for a leader with McCain’s unique qualities. Abraham Lincoln said, “only events can make a president.” When I think of the unknowable perils that await our nation in 21st century – the rise of Communist China, the threat of Islamic extremism, the crushing weight of public debt and the attack on the family – I am persuaded that the times demand a leader of courage and experience for such a time as this.”
