A risky gamble at best. It is like throwing the baby out with the bath water. What is to say that the Republicans will “Bork” a McCain nomiee? Just because Harriet was shot down does not mean it can be repeated. At any rate I think we are at too important of a crossroad for this country to even contemplate risking having an Obama Presicdency. I will vote for McCain and hope that eirther a strong conservative will arise in 4 years or that McCain will actually be more conservative than we think he will be. To me that is the less risky risk than risking 4 years with Obama in control.

And I think McCain is just the next slip along the slippery slope. The only thing that makes him look reasonable is the extreme liberalness of Obama. But the American people are not going to give in to the extreme of the left, any more than they would allow carte blanche to someone of the hard right.

I'd trust Barry with a moderate-to-conservative Congress way more than I'd trust McCain with a moderate-to-liberal Congress. This country has survived both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton within my lifetime, and each of them had far more cunning than Obambi could ever have.

It’s just like an alcoholic. Most of the time an alcoholic has to hit rock bottom before he/she can look up. That’s why it may be necessary to have the Pub Party figure out that they cannot elect a pro-life Prez or VP. It’s just too important not to. If McCain croaks before his term is up, we are then stuck with a pro-choice Prez. That is unacceptable. Then our Party morphs into something it is not, a quasi pro-choice Party at its very head. And that person woul be choosing a Supreme Court Justice instead of McCain if McCain is no longer amongst the living. So, in order to save the Party for the future, even though an Obama regime would be disastrous, we may need to live through it. We would be like Georgia, occupied by Russia against our will. A pro-life party infiltrated by a pro-choice Prez trying to mold our Party to his outlook. We, like Georgia, must make sure to rid ourselves of the infestation. If McCain chooses an overtly pro-choice VP, I will stay home and let the chips fall where they may.
