Observation: the lesser of two evils often gets more evil accomplished precisely because s/he doesn’t seem so bad, or is on “the right side”. Hillary will make little progress because there will be tremendous Republican opposition. Rudy would do much to advance the leftist agenda precisely because, being a Republican, he’ll get more support.
We saw exactly this in NY when switching from hardcore leftist Cuomo to allegedly right-wing Pataki: gun control and other issues got a LOT worse precisely because Pataki, a socialist at heart, automatically got the blind support of Republicans.
Sometimes the greater of two evils is the better choice: people recognize it as evil.
You trust Hillery over Rudy? You need to reevaluate your priorities and ability to discern credible threats to your liberties. I’m not a big Rudy fan, but I’d take him over Hillery any day of the week. Heck, I’d take Ron Paul over Hillery.
I attempted to say that in 9 but you said it perfectly.
