I don’t think anyone thinks that McCain is as bad as Obama. The problem is that he is a Republican, and if he is elected, he will drive the party far to the left, work closely with the congressional Democrats as he always has, and destroy forty or fifty years of work moving the party in a conservative direction.
He will likely be able to push bad stuff through congress that, as we have seen, Reid and Pelosi have been unable to push, because he will work across the aisles. Of course, if Obama takes the White House, there will be no veto threat; but it might be possible to filibuster and turn things around after two or four years of pain.
Sure, McCain has SOME good points, but also a history of compromising, ALWAYS with the left, never with the right. Will he face down congress over SCOTUS appointments? I doubt it.
So it becomes a matter of conscience and individual choice. Which is worse, a Communist/Muslim/black-power-advocate Obama, or Maverick McCain, subverting the party from within and leaving no other choice to vote for down the line?
I honestly don’t know WHAT I will do, come November. Meantime, I am still praying for a miracle before we come to that.
Better the enemy before me than behind me.
