It's funny that this was mentioned. The other day I said something to the same effect.

One theory of mine is that all the stars are alligning toward an economic collapse unseen since in this country the '30's, and neither a party wants to be party to it. (i.e see Herbert Hoover, and subsequent 13 years of FDR Rule and change)

Another puff piece on McCain to try to sell him to gullible Republicans.

QK Kaslin....AsI said before...I’m voting for whichever RINO gets the nomination. I can’t stay home and see what’s left of America be ripped apart. Maybe a third party in 2012.

.Good points...that is just two of the stars that are aligning. Add:

(1)A record federal budget

(2) A declining dollar that is being gradually shunned worldwide

(3) Oil at near $100 a barrel, with enviro whackos not allowing us to address the shortfalls with domestic production.

(4) Rapidly shrinking industrial base. When's the last time you heard of a large grassroots plant being built?

(5)Competiveness indices all show u.s lagging

Write in FDT, then. That's whay I'll do if faced with a Hobson's choice in November.

Q) What do you call a RINO win?

A) A Pyrrhic victory.

“Write in FDT then”

Unfortunately, that would not count and would help Hillbilly accomplish their socialist dreams.

“Despite McCain’s 82 percent ranking by the American Conservative Union”

Do your homework, Victor.

It put him somewhere around 69th in the Senate, which is nothing to brag about.

FDT wasn’t the true savior either. What we need is a conservative governor who was also a senator and understands monetary policy

Don't need another true savior. Got one already, thanks :)

But I could happily vote for FDT. And will :)

Electing a RINO instead of Hillie would be the dictionary definition of a Pyrrhic victory.
