You are young then ... you dont remember how screwed the US was by Jimmy Carter’s incompetence and inexperience. Obama will redouble that by being more liberal than any president before in our history.

I remember, and after Carter's screw ups, we got Reagan. It could happen this time IF the GOP figures out that it can't push us left. There's not enough time to get a 3rd party strong, unfortunately.

As far as I can tell, you are the only one being very condescending on this thread to others with a different opinion. You ought to think about whether that attracts people to your side or whether it reminds them how nasty and condescending McCain is to conservatives. He'll be vengeful on all those in Congress that opposed is liberal, Democrat-inspired bills. Whether Hillary or McCain will be meaner is a toss-up.

“I remember, and after Carter’s screw ups, we got Reagan.”

But Reagan was AROUND in 1976, nearly was the nominee.

Tell me, McCain loses and we get Obama for 4 years, the country goes through h*ll, we lose on the terror front, taxes are hiked, stagflation comes back, etc. .... who will be in the GOP to pick up the pieces? Who is this putative next-Reagan who will be so much more inspiring in 2012 than our nominee is today???
