“Sometimes you have to choose between merely “right-of-center””

I would if one of the three were exactly that. The choices are as follows. Leftist(D-NY) Leftist(D-IL) Leftist(R-AZ) .. ....None of us are even asking for a perfect candidate, as so commonly portrayed by the apologists. We just want someone to the right of Karl Marx.

As I noted to another poster:

In the Fall of 2006, when even Rumsfeld was opposed to the Surge, who kept insisting that we needed the Surge that has turned the Iraq War around?

Who stuck by that position even though he acknowledged that only 18% of Americans polled supported such a Surge?

Who said, "In war, there is no such thing as compromise, you either win or you lose"?

We are up against two candidates, Hillary and Obama, that have promised to lose the war and you are putting up the argument that McCain is not "to the right of Karl Marx"?

War is a serious matter. Deal with it in a serious manner.

I’m not clear on how McCain wanting a vaguely new strategy makes him not a Marxist. At the time it seemed like he was turning against the war because it was the popular thing to do.
