You cannot destroy our democratic republic in order to hope for a better outcome. The very judges he is starting to name are going to take generations to undo; this is much more than a mid-term election scenario. I said then and I say now, people have to get out and vote in the primaries and then suck it up in the general election. I was profoundly disappointed when McCain got the nod, but I sucked it up and did my best to help him get elected because I knew how bad Obama was and how dangerous he is with a majority congress and senate. We are 55 days in and sinking faster than the Titanic under Obama... even worse and faster than I thought we’d see.
Like I said I voted for McCain.
“You cannot destroy our democratic republic in order to hope for a better outcome. “
With a RINO President, and a rat congress and state governmental majorities for another 20 years it would be destroyed anyway.
Under McCain with this economy and his watered down liberalism a further erosion of party strength would have likely occurred in 2010.
History will tell whether Obama succeeds enough in doing damage for that to have the preferred long-term result.
He’s on course to damage his party and lead to a GOP resurgence.
The another party messing up or suffering an economic downturn during their reign is the best way to regain power historically in democracies the world over. Bush and the congressional RINOs messing up is what got us Obama and Pelosi. Possibly now they will lead to the shoe being on the other foot.
Short term, heck I might starve under Obama (hence I voted my interest, for the Republican nominee) but the long view is what I’m talking about here.
If Obama say passes socialist healthcare,and it becomes like social security, impossible to get rid of, that would be a point against what would be better in the long term (provided mccain would veto such a thing).
We don’t know yet.
