Memo to Republican Party: After McCain and Dole, don't run aging Senators who are more worried about "collegiality" than WINNING.
Palin/DeMint 2012
A John McCain victory is only the beginning of trying to solve some terrible problems in this country. McCain cannot win a pyrrhic victory. A pyrrhic victory is one in which the battle is won but does so much lasting damage to the winning army, the victorious army is forever and fatally weakened.
McCain cannot become president by destroying every vestige of cooperation. Such a victory could lead to another American Civil War.
Ironically, McCain's appeal to bipartisanship may never work anyway because there is so little in common between the bitter foes on either side of politics in this country.
There is virtually no common ground between left and right in America and as pointed out in the Bible long ago, "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
