When the choice given to us is "Might be good" vs "won't be good", I'll take my chances with the might, despite putting a bag over my head when I leave the polling booth.
I won't make the perfect the enemy of the sometimes good, when the other choice is "always bad." We got a Roberts, Thomas, and Alito vote out of McCain. That's more than I can say for the rest of the turkeys running.
He voted for Alito. Source is Senate.gov
Vote 1 - Cloture to break the fillibuster - passed 72-25 with 3 no votes.
McCain - Aye
Clinton - Nay
Obama - Nay
Vote 2 - Alito vote itself - passed 58-42
Same thing - McCain voted Aye, Clinton and Obama voted NAY
I previously posted the reasons why he won't. In short, putting justices of the kind we want on teh Courtt would threaten McVain's chief legislative achievements, which are a line of unconstitutional usurpations and abdications of duty.
Thanks for thinking I'm reasonable enough that my mind might be changed. LOL!

Why wouldn’t I?
You’re a FReeper. We think. We are informed. Sometimes we get passionate but none of us are unreasonable. Truly. And even if we have a pet issue, I don’t think that any one of us is closed minded to other ways of thinking, even if we don’t agree.
That why most times we see people who agree to disagree.
