It won’t be McCain only if enough conservatives throw away a vote on the likes of Keyes. It isn’t a bet on a “dark horse.” You are not playing with a full deck if you believe that. Never in American history has a 3rd party candidate been elected, not even Teddy Roosevelt when he ran on the Bullmoose ticket. And it certainly isn’t going to change this election.
McCain or Obama. No one else.
Victory or defeat in Iraq.
Tax increases or tax cuts.
Limited government or full blown socialism.
Free trade or protectionism.
You make the choice.
I would betcha' that most of the votes for Keyes would stay home without the choice, or write in, or leave blank... And that is a HUGE number, if I reckon right. So it is no skin of McCain's nose (melanoma pun not intended).
It isnt a bet on a dark horse. You are not playing with a full deck if you believe that.
It is precisely a 'dark horse' by the very definition.
And it certainly isnt going to change this election.
Stranger things have happened...
McCain or Obama. No one else.
Then Obama it is, with a chastised (r) party throwing away it's leadership and going back to basics, including opposing liberalism.
Victory or defeat in Iraq.
Then defeat it will be.
Tax increases or tax cuts.
Bullcrap. Tax increases. You may bet on that either way.
Limited government or full blown socialism.
Total bullcrap. See tag.
Free trade or protectionism.
Bah! "Free-Traitorism" Hunter got that one right. See tag sommore.
You make the choice.
You bet I will. I will make the choice that does not suffer my principles. That choice WILL get me all you wish for, and more, as that choice will only be for a Reagan Conservative. Without such there is no win, and no choice whatsoever.
