Actually Yes. A slow march has a chance, however fleeting, to be stopped.

A slow death march or a fast one brings you to the same end point with zero chance of reversing the trend. The GOP has tried implementing this very loser of a strategy for years by appeasing the socialist left to expand the GOP voter base. The result has been incremental socialism. It's a slippery slope with no end. The irony is the socialist left never gives up their principles. That's the reason the GOP is in the mess it is in today.

You're line of thinking is tantamount to saying you prefer a bullet between the eyes instead of one through the heart. Either way you're just as dead.

No, the correct analogy is that I prefer a slow death by cancer, which may be reversed or placed in remission rather than shooting MYSELF and MY CHILDREN between the eyes.

Do I like McCain? No. Will he be a better bet for the future than Hussian or Clinton. Yes. I have children, I am focused on the future, not making myself feel self-rightous for the short-term.
