I’m not voting for McWhacked, but I’m not cheering for Big Ear Socialist. What happens happens. I won’t be happy with either clown winning.
There are downsides to both awful candidates winning.
The downsides to McWhacked winning are:
1) then the RINO Pubs feel they no longer need conservatives to win, and the takeover of the party by “Country Club” Pubs will be complete, and conservatives will have no home and no party. The party will officially be “Democrat Lite”.
2) the disaster that McWhacked’s policies do to the country will be blamed on Pubs.
3) Pub Congress Critters will not oppose McWhacked’s insane Liberal policies, because he will be the leader of the party.
If Obama wins:
1) the Pubs won’t be blamed for the terrible things that happen to the country.
2) conservatives will still have a voice in the Pubbie party.
3) Pub Congress Critters will provide at least some opposition to his Socialist legislative plans.
To All,
Look, folks, there IS LIFE after January 2009.
The world is not coming to an end if Obama gets the Presidency, as cr*ppy as he (or McCain for that matter) would be. It won't be a picnic, but it won't be the end of the world. With President McCain, RINOism in the GOP will be institutionalized, even within the Conservative movement. (When is the last time you can recall we had a major, huge, full blown "FREEP" of the Bush White House over some of his appeasement or amnesty-like positions?)
It will be a brief four years and particularly if we have a Republican Congress from next year, or can get one in 2010 from The Big Backlash Against Obama, you are going to see the GOP revitalized as in it's BEST days in the early 1980s under Ronald Wilson Reagan. Reagan would have us be positive and forward moving, even as Carter took the mantle from Ford because the GOP was too stupid not to pick a genuine Conservative in 1976, Ronald Reagan, who would have cleaned his clock that year. Let's look at the big picture here.
Job one: destroy or at least emasculate the RINO control of the GOP
Job two: Gain the Senate and Congress
Job three: Gain the Presidency. Rome was not built in a day.
McCain will put into many of the same policies and general direction that will come about under Obama or Hillary, albeit perhaps at a slower pace.
As I have always said, the leopard will not frighten me to get into a pit with a bobcat, if there is a third option of getting rid of the both of them (just a parable here folks).
