I chalk that up to the people not caring. They didn't like Bush and wanted to punish him, even if we got Slick. The same will happen this time, but BO is worse than Slick.
Don't get me wrong, I have a heap of problems with the RINO party, but voting for anyone else IS A VOTE FOR THE RATS.
The time to deal with the RINOs was in the primaries. We failed to do that, but let's not add insult to injury.
The world is a much more dangerous place today as well.
Our country survived the Clinton presidency reasonably well. I'm not at all convinced the same will be true of an Obama presidency.
