The fact that he is “the better candidate” does not bode well for this country.

He is not the better candidate. None of them are.

Vote for the same two parties for 150 years, and you get identical candidates. The political parties are all about consolidation of power, not representation.

So right. If McCain is elected, the Republicans left in Congress will go along with his agenda (which is a lo-cal version of the democrat agenda).

We're screwed. Maybe it's better if McCain loses so Republicans can so back to behaving like conservatives.

Don't know what you are complaining about. You should be ecstatic, all the Presidential Candidates are pushing your personal "Hate Oil" dogmas.

If you have two candidates -- one of which will win -- then one of them, by definition, is the better candidate and one of them is the worse. As bad as McCain is, he is better than the eventual democrat candidate (be that hillary or Obama). That is not a winning campaign (at least our candidate doesn't suck as badly as the democrat), but that is all we've got right now.
