Biting the Bullet: It’s Either McCain or Obama

By Rene Guerra

Never, ever, in her 232 years of illustrious existence, has America been at such a dire juncture where her enemies and rivals--domestic and foreign--are so determinedly poised and so advantageously positioned to undoing her.

Islamofascism has vowed to destroy America, at any cost; “Death to America” the frenzied, mouth-foaming, suicidal Iranian throngs cry. Our brave troops in Iraq and Afghanistan keep fighting day in and day out the terrorists that the Saudi Wahhabis, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Iranian Shiite fundamentalists, and the Syrian Baathists would otherwise be sending to slaughter us, here, on American soil, as the first two did through al-Qaida did on 9/11 . . . or even worse.

Tanks and intercontinental thermonuclear missiles are rolling, back again, in military parades at Red Square, in a chilling return of Russian bellicosity. Russia, at the same time, coerces and extorts the European nations with her vast production and proven deposits of oil and natural gas.

China--in essence the perfect embodiment of a fascist state, worse, with world-hegemonic aspirations based on ancient geocentric traits--soars, unchecked, to powers that no one can predict where will end. At the same time, China has an exceedingly positive trade balance vis-à-vis the U.S.A., is the owner of a sizeable chunk of America’s $12.5 Trillion owed to foreign interests, and is the second largest foreign holder of securities issued by the U.S. Treasury...

Here is not a question of a lesser evil. McCain is just as bad as Obama. McCain is the only GOP candidate for whom I could not hold my nose and vote. Among my many concerns are the signs McCain might be mentally ill or a sociopath. How can I vote for anybody who is for amnesty and open borders and against the Cronyn amendment - willing to sell out this country?

Sorry, that assertion is just flat out nuts and it is hard to take anything you say seriously, if you truly believe that and just are not throwing up hyperbole.

Except in this case they would sacrifice our country. Some people don’t have common sense and are simply pulled to an extreme that is irrational.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Perhaps it is overexposure to liberals in Seattle that muddle your thinking.

Nope. Just naturally a little bit smarter and/or a little more honest, is all.

Again, this is the way elections have been conducted in this country for several hundred years, by this point: Candidate attempts to garner votes from Voting Bloc by meeting said Voting Bloc's needs. Candidate does not meet needs; Candidate doesn't get votes. Period. End of sentence. End of paragraph. End of story.

Politicians in your city and/or state dont garner votes by telling their constituents "Yes, I'll do [X][Y][Z] for you?" Voters in your city and/or state dont pick candidates and/or parties based upon how what they're promised they'll get, or pledged they won't get? Horse crap.
