WHAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE TO VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER THAT IS BETTER THAN HAVING THE DEMOCRATS WIN?

Well, since the Democrats win no matter what lever I select, I will vote the local races and leave the Presidential column blank.

I want them to know that I took the time to show up, but I selected none of them.

“WHAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE TO VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN IN NOVEMBER THAT IS BETTER THAN HAVING THE DEMOCRATS WIN?”

We need to think “big picture”. If McCain wins, he will generate a bigger anti-Republican backlash than Bush has. 2010 will be a congressional home run for the Dems. 2012 will be an easy Dem win for the White House which ensures 4 to 8 years of a veto-proof Democrat controlled Beltway.

A Hillary win will have the opposite effect. It’ll be ‘94 all over again, only she is so volatile that she will likely be a one term president, opening the doorway for the pendulum to swing back to the right in 2012, with a veto-proof GOP Beltway.

The wild card is of course the Supremes, but the fact remains that McCain would be a short term victory, and we can’t rely on his Justice nominations anyway.

Bottom line: McCain only pushes the pendulum further to the left. Hillary stands a good chance of swinging it to the right. The biggest fear is Obama, but I have enough faith in the Dem’s filthy back room political machine to dispense with him, i.e. Superdelegates.

Personally, I’ll likely write in Keyes or Buchanan or the like, but there ain’t no way I’m voting for McCain.
