“As bad as McCain is. . .Hillary is worse. Her long-term vision/agenda cannot possibly be outmatched by that of McCains.”
What the “vote Hillary instead” crowd (and I believe it’s peaking now to give people a wake-up call that their Super Tueday vote has consequences more than an actual endorsement of Hillary) is point out is - yes, of course Hillary will be worse in a general sense. But she’s a democrat - we can BLAME her. What will we do if it’s a Republican president responsible?
It’s a bit of a moot point - I believe Hillary or Obama would both be able to crush McCain in a debate. If McCain is the nominee we’re screwed - the dems will win. But on the off-chance he could win, the damage he would inflict on the conservative agenda is only slightly less severe than what Giuliani would have inflicted. At least, under a democrat presidency, we could rally ourselves in opposition like we did under Clinton. An enemy in the White House gave us a voice - made us powerful - brought OUR objectives back to the forefront. Clinton acted on OUR ideas, the Contract with America, NOT the other way around.
Sometimes, from a strategic point of view, a loss can lead to a greater victory elsewhere. You can see that in how candidates on both sides are choosing to run their primary battles.
That said - I believe this “I will vote for Hillary” business is a ruse to get people to vote against McCain on Tuesday. If it fails, and McCain does win, then there will have to be some soulsearching as to what actually comes next.
it wasnt jfk because it was enacted after i turned 18 it was carter
That said; think McCain could win over Hillary or Obama, by any stretch. Not accounting for Clinton,Inc. fraud, that is.
As Liberal as his inclinations fall; do not think McCain is a fool for Muslim's as /are the genuine 'Left'. Nor is he a 'radical-revolutionary voice' or a Soros pawn.
That alone, might be his. ..and our's. . .saving Grace.
This is all so depressing; but the 'Right' have acted like spoiled brats, IMHO; and we are paying the price. It will not doubt get higher; but given the stakes; we can only work to insure America does not lose it all.
