I never said McCain was a conservative, and one of the reasons I DON’T want to vote for him is that very thing. My candidates dropped out, Thompson and Hunter. We’re left with crap on our shoes and a stench in the air, and we need to kick off the shoes, wipe our hands and keep Obama out of the White House. Right now, a 3rd party isn’t going to do that.
As an ASIDE I will point out that Ron Paul and his loonie toons are planning a march on DC around June time frame. Some of the people marching, I know, and some of them are otherwise very smart people, but they are crazed over this right now, and are planning to demand a lot of things. I’m hearing and seeing there are people planning on marching with weapons and threats.
Perhaps that might be the right thing to do, but I don’t think the country needs that NOW of all times. We need to stand together against those in the world that are already against us and show a face to the rest of the world that we can handle internal problems without becoming a third world nation, battling on the streets. I think some of the Ron Paul kooks WELCOME the destruction of the US because they want to remake it somehow.
Perhaps they are right, perhaps we should start over.... but... I don’t see it as time, and I’ve fought for this country. So have some of these guys, but I think it will turn nasty if they get their way.
There is never really a good time for a revolution.
If it ever happens I think it will come as a complete surprise to most and will be triggered by some seemingly minor event I am sure (the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back).
I do still hold out hope that we can salvage the country without it.
I have a six year old son and I do not want him to have to live through something like that.
