We know that about 15% of Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton voted for McCain-Palin (the PUMA voters). So how are we to explain the results? The conclusion is inescapable. The Republicans stayed home in droves. Obama did not win the election, the Republicans gave it to him by not getting out and voting.
Lesson? No more RINO squish, milquetoast POTUS candidates.
I have always said this to my conservative friends who are so uninspired by McCain that they want to stay home.
Elections are often not about choosing the perfect candidate but PREVENTING A GREATER EVIL FROM TAKING OVER.
McCain might only meet 60 to 70% of your criteria in terms of policy but what is worse ? getting 70% or getting virtually none ?
And that is the problem. Now that close to 10 million conservatives have virtually handed the presidency over to Obama, what are they going to get long after Obama is gone ?
For one, they’re going to be getting judges, justices and Supreme Court justices who are going to legislate from the bench and torment us for over 30 years long after Obama is gone. That’s what you get for staying home because McCain does not meet your criteria.
You’re going to be getting things like — Legalization of infanticide ( remember, Obama voted AGAINST even protecting babies born alive ), Judges who will overturn legislation to defend marriage, stronger unions that will cause more businesses to move overseas, a weaker military, more socialism, more government programs that will outlive even Obama himself.
THAT is what you get. I hope you’re happy with what you did not do.
