There are much worse things in this world than McPain. I was a Fred Head and I was not going to vote after his concession, but as I though about Obama I decided that I had no choice. McCain’s choice of Palin made my choice easy. I am going to continue supporting Palin through thick and thin. I believe that she has the enlightenment of the nation at heart (she could bring us out of Obama’s dark-age).
You truly sound like a Sarah-bot. I’ll give you that. Personally? I’m not into idol-worship.
As for McCain, he’s busy pulling out all the stops in an internecine war between grass roots conservatives and party centrists. Sarah, for whatever reason, is backing the wrong side.
Now you can claim Sarah is only doing it out of loyalty or to keep a promise, but the fact remains. She could very well help put McCain over the top.
This could be the most difficult primary in McCain’s career, but he’s got millions to spend (left over from his halfhearted presidential bid) and the backing of party insiders. What do you think he’ll do if he wins?
This is probably his last re-election attempt. If he wins, he’ll have nothing left to lose—no more reason to hold back on conservatives. The true McCain will come out as we’ve never seen before. It won’t be pretty, but there won’t be a damned thing you, I or anyone else can do about it!
I think most FReepers understand the risk here. A Republican majority led by the likes of McCain will probably achieve most of what the Democrats are struggling to pass even now. Political deadlock will be over, bipartisanship will reign, and Sarah Palin and anyone else who helps bring THAT about deserve all the scorn I can dish out.
