There are daily reminders of why we need to thank our Founders for establishing a Republic with democratic institutions rather than a Democracy with republican pretensions. There is no way we might have survived for 232 years and counting if our government had been steered by the emotionalism and prejudices of an ill-informed public. On the other hand, we do today face the prospect of our nation being led by the emotionalism and prejudices of an ill-informed elite. Against that risk, we have a well-designed Constitution, assuming we obey it.

Your post #29 is well said.

However, if Barack Obama should be elected to the Presidency, with a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives and a filibuster-proof Democrat majority in the Senate, the Democrats would pack the Supreme Court with Leftist Radicals, and together they would change the United States beyond recognition; they would ignore, reinterpret, and essentially rewrite the Constitution.

This must not be allowed to happen.

We must defeat the Democrats at the polls this November.

John McCain is not the ideal Republican candidate, but he is lightyears better than archLeftist Barack Obama. We must elect him as a means of defeating Obama and the Democrats. It is the only rational, intelligent, and patriotic thing to do.
