—I firmly believe that this country (and the world) will not survive either of these Democrats in the White House for four to eight years.—

That’s a bit over the top.

—If you think we can let them win now, and then ride some “backlash” into victory the next time, you’re sorely mistaken.—

Why. Carter “backlashed” us into Reagan; Clinton (thanks to his sex scandals, mostly) “backlashed” us into Dubya (for better or worse).

—The last time they had control, it took almost 50 years to get it back (then we lost it, but that’s another story). —

You are talking about control of *Congress*. That has little or nothing to do with who wins the White House. The pubbies are going to lose 4 or 5 seats (depending on Mary Landrieu) at least, no matter who wins the White House. We’re going to lose a bunch of House seats, too. A lot of GOP resignations, disastisfaction over the economy will see to that. Hastert’s seat in IL just went Dem in a special election! A bad omen, indeed.

— Sorry your “guy” didn’t make it (whomever that that was), but that’s politics.—

Eff dat. The lesser of two evils is still evil, and I’ve had enough of it.

That's me!!! Once you've been here more than a week, you'll come to know that. Save your ammo.

"Eff dat. The lesser of two evils is still evil, and I’ve had enough of it".

So....you would thus opt for.... what?? The greater of two evils?? You do realize we are talking about politics here, right?

Selection of the lesser of two evils is the essence of politics. Unless one is a groupie rather than a constituent (see Clinton, William J., and/or Obama, Barak) one never finds the perfect candidate. It's always a compromise.

As for the rest: I'd much rather have a Republican Congress and White House (or, as you put it "pubbie", perhaps you are a lurker/troll).
