The only thing I can think of to say is this: if Obama becomes president, the social issues so many of us care about will become a moot point as our very survival as a country becomes the paramount question.
And filibuster-proof working majority is a very real possibility. How many of the social programs enacted have been ROLLED BACK? The answer is almost none of them. I love my country more than I love "teaching someone a lesson" and damning my country to hell.
That's the one argument the McCain supporters here on FR keep pushing; McCain is the lesser of two evils. Well that argument doesn't take into consideration that should the democrats gain a larger majority in Congress (which is a sure possibility), having McCain in office will in itself be moot.
When pressed, the two main areas the McCain people bring up is judgeships and the war. With a larger democrat majority there's the distinct possibility that they'll be able to override a McCain veto. McCain's ability to lead on both issues will be curtailed. Couple that with McCain's penchant for bi-partisan legislation and coziness with the DIM's positions on such as amnesty and Global Warming, and I see little difference between the two Presidencies (McCain/Obama).
As for me, if I have a choice, I'd rather have a DIM in the office when the country heads South. After all, who do we Americans blame when things go bad? The Executive!
