I don’t see that happening my FRiend... however what I do see happening IF we actualy put McCain in the WhiteHouse is a HUGE step backwards.. because the conservative congress will feel “obligated” to support the “R” in the WhiteHouse..

Whether you personally see it happening or not, it could happen. And in the meantime, as I said before, you will be rooting against America and praying something bad happens to our nation. Otherwise your strategy will fail.

Let's look at it from the other angle. If McCain wins the White House then either he will at least rise to a level that is acceptable to the conservative base (in which case no harm no foul) or you will have 4 years to mobilize an effort to unseat him in 2012. If he does as badly as you think he will then that would likely be a lot more probable than taking on Clinton/Obama after 4 years of satisfying their base.

If you really want to look to 2012 as your next chance to shift the Republican party to better match your views you would have better luck against McCain than either of the Democrats.

ABSOLUTELY NOT !! If you think I would for ONE SECOND.. pray that something bad happens to our nation.. you obviously have NOT read my resume' -- I forgive you :) --- PLEASE -- Go back to the top of this thread and RE-read ALL FOUR points... and if you still don't get it.... we can debate it further....

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.. the media will spin a "close election" to mean that conservatives WANTED McCain... and we THE SHEEPLE --- Who obey the every commandment of the Liberal Media spin masters.... The GOP will forever produce RINO's

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN...look what the GOP did to Duncan Hunter... CLEARLY the best/most qualified candidate... and the GOP rejected him on "name recognition"... what a bunch of wimps... WAKE UP CONSERVATIVE AMERICA !!!

This needs to be repeated--over and over. Once the Dems get the WH (and keep the House and Senate which they probably will) do you think they won't do whatever it takes from those positions to shut out the R's no less Conservatives from EVER gaining power again?
