NO. It's not.
Losing track of the prize is the problem with being idealistic beyond reason. You can try to vilify Fred all you want but he's a good conservative candidate and we need desperately to defeat Rudy and Hillary. We will almost assuredly not have the House or the Senate and we need the Presidency or we will lose judge appointments, the veto, the bully pulpit, not to mention the glaring issue of our national security. We will lose any say or influence in ALL of it. Without the Presidency, Democrat leftists will be in complete control. That's what's at stake here.
I use his own words and votes. I did not ask him to be a mushy moderate and join the Centrist Coalition during his years in the Senate, he did it himself. I did not want McCain Feingold Thompson shoved down our throats. I did not try to cancel the B2 bomber program along with John Kerry. I did not support Howard Baker and John McCain for President.
He dug his own grave.
