So this Keyes thread becomes another attack on those who cannot support the "maverick".
Many of us have made passionate arguments against McCain,but not because we want to push the country over a cliff at 30 or 150 mph. We love our country as much or perhaps more than anyone arguing on the other side of this mess.
We know who and what McCain is, and his populist notions are at the crux of the matter. He is no better, no worse than Obama in the aggregate when you do a prober appraisal, and in the end, no help to problems this country has with it's society at large. It is that society that is pushing hard to go over that cliff and the choices are few.
We can slow the train down only a couple miles per hour, if at all, considering the Dem's will hold the House and Senate, which will give them ammunition to blame Republicans from now until eternity for the predicted results of Democrat mismanagement starting two years ago and proceeding throughout McCain's term or terms.
Or........because he will be such a weak president and likely to lose cohesion during a crisis that is sure to come multiple times it might be best politically to make sure the Democrats take the entire blame, responsibility and weight on their broad political shoulders which will damage them severely and teach the society that elections do have consequences and populism has no place in that decision making..A lesson learned before, but now apparently forgotten by current generations with the exception of mine.
Looking way down the road, I see the latter as the best choice and this is my justification.
And so the insane stupidity of pushing it up to 150 miles per hour.
It is the inevitable....
