I think Obama winning in 2008 would be an utter disaster,..one we would not be able to recover from...more Liberals on the Supreme Court would totally rewrite the Constitution......
Thanks for all the responses.
First of all, I’m not new to FR. I posted since 2004 as “CZB” but lost my password and could never get FR to send it to me.
I appreciate that you all will vote for McCain, and that’s fine. Most of the arguments you level against me I heard in 1976 when I worked in a Reagan write-in campaign—that I was effectively selling out etc. etc. etc. My ‘76 write-in is a vote I’m very proud of.
I think if the R’s lose they will go more conservative in 2012 in part because (1) it’s really hard to NOT be more conservative than McCain and be an R, and (2) I know that I plan to work like a dog for a conservative candidate for 4 years starting the day after Obama wins in November, and so will you.
As for the Supreme Court argument, do you all understand that McCain is a big fan of Bader Ginsburg? Why do people automatically think McCain will put anyone other than a lib on the bench? Obama can really only replace libs on the Bench as the four conservatives are the youngest members—they aren’t leaving anytime soon. I would challenge him to actually FIND someone more liberal than the justice(s) he will likely replace.
My supposition that Obama will only last 4 years is based on this notion: if we can’t beat him after the 4 inept years he is certain to have in office, then we can’t beat anyone anyway. As for him being a disaster for America, my strategy COUNTS on him being a disaster. The Left is gonna win the White House eventually and every four years they crank out someone worse than 4 years earlier. I’d rather deal with it now than later, when it’s likely to even be worse.
The American people are apparently hellbent on experiencing Marxism for themsevles. I’m just one person and I cast my vote in Maryland, where Obama will CRUSH McCain anyway. I started out at age 14 campaigning for Barry Goldwater. I haven’t done what I’ve done and spent my life believing what I believe to then vote for John McCain, a man who has nothing but contempt for me and what I believe.
Like I said, I ain’t holding my nose for a second and I am planning to turn all that’s bad about 2008 into something great in 2012. We did it before, and we’ll do it again, but we won’t do it by voting for liberal Republicans. That’s just death. Always has been, always will.
All that said, I don’t begrudge anyone their vote for McCain. If you have to, you have to. I know your heart is in the right place.
Every fricking dollar spent by Mcshame should be on commercials in regards to the 20 years of devestation Obamma will ravage on us with his Marxist SCOTUS picks, there is no recovering from this. He needs to remind the American idiots of decisions the Obamabot Judges have handcuffed us with.... Like: Immanent Domain, Habeas Corpus and of course all 5-4 vote close calls we have won, but won't in the future as Alzheimer's continues to settle in with Kennedy
