>>>Rush has made a cogent argument against voting for McCain. Basically having McCain as president would tie the hands of Republicans in Congress in fighting liberal bills
Dumb argument really. The dem majority in both houses is likely to remain. But with no republican president with a veto pen to backstop them the republican minority won’t be able to accomplish much.
Of course it is very liberating to be in a hopeless impotent minority if thats what he means.
Rush’s point was that a Pub minority could block bad ideas coming from Hillary because they would be united, but would be split about the same ideas coming from McCain. An example would be Hillary-care in 1993. What do you think would happen if Pres. McCain announced he was working with Senator Clinton to pass a universal healthcare plan? All the Dems and half the Pubs would vote for it.
