As for thinking that rejecting McCain is like "cutting off yoru nose to spite your face," RIGHT BACK AT YA. Willfully empowering John McCain to represent the Republican party is cutting off the Republican party's nose to spite its face. It would be worse than an empty meaningless victory -- it would be a victory detrimental to Republicans.
Your mother also probably told you often enough that you had to drink icky cough syrup today if you wanted to feel better tomorrow, otherwise tomorrow you'll feel WORSE. Better to swallow bitter medicine now -- aka, let the Dems have the next four years and watch them as they implode, as they will -- and understand that bitter medicine is often necesasary to lead to better health further down the road.
I remember when voting for Perot was that bitter medicine that was supposed to do it for us Finny.
Finny - Ditter is just lashing out in anger and projecting his frustration onto those who do not want to lick McCain’s boots. Take it easy on him.
