I’ve reluctantly concluded that, as much as I detest McCain, the only thing that matters is the WOT. I usually am not a single issue voter, however, I think sitting this one out is playing politics with war. Iraq and Afghanistan are to important to be left to someone like Senator Clinton or Senator Obama.

The WOT is serious business and the only candidate I see as serious on the issue is Senator McCain.

That is a tough pill to swallow.

After McCain, though, I will never vote for another Republican just because “the alternative is worse.”

Yes you will. 2012. And 2016. etc.

You will do just like most of the others who complain about McCain -- you will hold your nose and vote for him.

And that is what the Dems will do for their party nominee too. Those who say they won't vote for H or they won't vote for O will hold their noses and pull the lever in November.

The DNC knows it, so they aren't going to change.

The RNC knows it, so they aren't going to change, either.

You [the plural, all voters] have been selecting the lesser of evils for decades.

Really, what's the worst that happens if one of those two idiots becomes president? My prediction is that each one will have some reason for "re-evaluating our options based on information available only to a President". In any case, if either Rat was not out of Iraq within six months of assuming office, the moonbats will go rabid on them.

What's the worst that can happen if we just pull our troops out of the way and let the ragheads annihilate each other? Will it be any harder for a future true conservative to saturation bomb Baghdad or Tehran? Yes, the WOT is important, but securing our own borders is the only thing we really need do to fight it here. And frisking grandmas for knitting needles is not helping the problem.

I'm one election ahead of you, because I believe that the probability of a McPain victory, and two years of his impotency presiding over a failing economy does us no favors in our attempt to get Congress back. It's too late for a true conservative to take the oath of office on January 20th, why not have someone in place who can take all the crap that is coming down, and will convince Americans that conservative Republicans are the only grown-ups left in this country?
