A strong conflict between socialism and Conservatism has been inevitable for quite some time. If McCain would have won, we simply would have kicked the can down the road for another election cycle or two. The outrage over "baby steps to socialism" would not exist.
No, McCain should not be our choice in 2012. He cannot, or perhaps will not, change the direction of the ship. He would just slow it down.
I have faith that Americans will do the "right" thing and put the proper leaders in power. As the economy continues to slow and as more people see their 401Ks not growing and their paychecks stretched, they will be more engaged and outraged. Obama will be stopped.
You are missing the point. McCain has to go now. He has to lose in 2010. If he wins then you might as well forget your country. His loss will scare the hell out o fthe other RINOs. We need tough people NOW to save this country. We are out of time and it may be too late already. McCain will do everything to help Obama - you can bank on that.
