I understand the argument. But McCain isn't going to have a "GOP" staff. Look who is heading his campaign in Ohio: Mike DeWine. Is this eco-weenie the kind of guy you want heading up the EPA or Dept. of Energy??? Or Christie Todd Whitman? These are the kind of GOP people we absolutely don't need in office.

I'm more convinced by the day that we are better off to let the Dems have it and ride the country into the toilet so we can get a mandate to build it up. We have two examples of it taking a pretty bleak circumstance for people to get some sense: Reagan in 1980 and Thatcher in 1979.

I’m beginning to think your view makes sense, though I’m still concerned about the judges which as you know are lifetime appointments.

What a mess.

This thought has been on my mind a lot lately. Give the Dems four years to really screw up the country, scare a bunch of people and then try and take the country back in 2012.

To a point that makes sense. Except for one thing: the SCOTUS. Chances are good the next POTUS will appoint two Supremes, maybe more. Life terms. It would be at least 10 years before this damage could be undone. hat worries me a lot.

Of course all of this is a moot point if the Second American Revolution starts before Nov 4th.
