I remain quite sure deep in my soul that, in fact, Clinton or Obama would be worse for this country than McCain would. Whoever is the next president will have a Democrat majority in Congress and will be appointing a couple or three Supreme Court judges, and will inherit an ongoing war.

McCain likes to work with Democrats. With a Democrat majority in Congress, he could get a lot done -- all of it bad.

Clinton and Obama's ideas maybe (slightly) worse, but at least then the Republicans would act the part of an opposition party and try to block their worst impulses. I expect to vote for Hillary. I think the resulting damage to the country -- and especially to the GOP -- will be less than if McCain achieves the White House.

I may be wrong, but I think the argument goes that if McCain gets the nomination and somehow gets elected, that it will ultimately be the end of the republican party. However, if a democrat gets elected, the republcan party will survive and possibly be reinvigorated.

The whole thing was based on the fact that McCain is ahead in the polls and that in that context, people like Coulter, Malkin, and many conservative bloggers were saying that IF IT WERE McCain, they’d rather have a Democrat, which I hold to be nuts.

That's because you're too obtuse to foresee the inevitable damage McCain will do to the Republican party, in spite of the history of two Bush elections. Never mind that Coulter tried to point that out to you: "With Hillary we get the same liberal policies, but none of the responsibility."

The author needs to understand that there are a lot of conservatives who want to lose. (This malady exists among many far-left liberals also.) This desire has nothing to do with principles, country, party or politics. It has to do with personality problems, and a desire to punish others for transgressions and “impurity.”

There ceratinly are transgressions and impurity, how could there not be, in a party with tens of millions of members?

The idea that letting Democrats assume power will lead to Democrats quickly losing power back to “true” conservatives is idiotic. Study of American political history will quickly diabuse some of such a foolish notion. Those mentioned above will not be so convinced, but that is a different matter.

I just feel that we are in deep do-do whether it is Clinton, Obama, or McCain, and would rather that the Democrats got to take the blame for sending us down the drain.

Cockfights are much more fun than this shite we’re having to eat.

[statered]

I thought that the supreme court ruled that cock fights could no longer be made illegal?
