Yep, better to lose WWII than to have anything to do with the Soviets. Better to win the factual war than to refuse to win because you may be enemies with that country later.
We would not have won WWII without the Soviets chewing up Nazi’s on the “Eastern Front.”
Maybe.
Maybe not.
But it is certain that propping up the Soviet regime had deleterious consequences for the US later.
But we can go around and around on analogies for a long time.
Here's the bottom line. With Obama as president, the pubbies in the Senate will at least half-heartedly fight him.
When McCain promotes more amnesty, or more 1st amendment restrictions or socialized medicine the pubbies will fall all over themselves to enact it because he's a pubbie.
McCain is arguably more dangerous in the long term. We survived 8 years of the Clintons. We can survive Obama.
No Democrat can destroy the conservative cause in America. But a Republican can. And John McCain is just the man to do it.
