Dissing Nancy Reagan:

I VERY strongly disagree with what Coulter said last night (I saw it, and was dumbfounded).

BUT.

She didn't diss Nancy. She merely stated that she didn't care for her politics - and I don't think that unfair. We didn't vote for her, we voted for her husband. I have a great deal of admiration for Nancy Reagan - and I'm glad that she consented to share a lot of her husband's time with the people of this country - but I don't care for her stances on guns or 2008 Presidential candidates. That's not disrespect, that's simple politics.

That being said, Coulter is completely wrong on the McCain vs. Hillary issue. I despise McCain's politics, and though I'd rather vote for Fred Thompson, to me it looks like the 2nd best to him is Mitt Romney - and I'm definitely in ABM (Anybody But McStain) mode. I think that only the Huckster is lower on my list than McStain (well, OK, Ron Paul - but I'm only discussing Earthlings).

BUT.

McCain, as bad as he is, is not even close to Clinton (or Obama). McCain has a lifetime rating of 82% from the American Conservative Union, vs. 9% for Hillary and 8% for Obama. While I never won a Nobel Prize in Mathematics, I think that my 720 Math SAT score qualifies me to state that 82 > 9, and also that 82 > 8. More to the point, any President nominates federal judges, Supreme Court Justices, issues Executive Orders, is the CINC of the armed forces, the molder of our foreign policy and the appointer of Cabinet officers. I simply cannot stomach the idea of Monica's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife doing these things, EVEN at the price of McStain in the Oval Office.

Definitely, it is a case of picking the lesser of 2 evils. Yeah, I know, either way you've got evil - but less is better than more. I'm not sure if our Republic can stand the stress of another Clinton term or 2. And Obama...I wonder if that SOB is going to be giving secrets to the Al Qaida types - I honestly don't know, yet this empty suit with nothing substantive on his resume has a good chance at becoming POTUS. The world has gone NUTS!

Reasoned thinking and facts not welcomed here
