Yes, I’m looking more for the half-full glass..... don’t know if McCain would really be worse than GW but I’m thinking maybe not..... I’m not at all happy with the choices being thrown up by our political process but then Ronald Reagan is really the only seriously conservative President we’ve had since maybe Calvin Coolidge!! GW and McCain really do not differ much on most issues, and I’m never thrilled with either by a long shot..... but for the WOT and for judges they will each do better than any of the ‘Rats by a long shot. I’m certainly more concerned with McCain on judges, but otherwise I don’t see GW and McCain as very different. Neither would have been my first choice ever, but I would take either over any of the ‘Rats every time.
fwiw, I’m really not a GW-basher (most of the time)..... but he’s far from my ideal conservative president. I’ll take him over any of the most likely alternatives of the past decade but he has disappointed me (and others) so many times with his softness toward socialistic, big-government, big-spending, open borders weasels, allowing the ‘Rats and MSM to run wild over Plamegate and Gitmo and waterboarding etc., signing the despicable “Campaign Finance Reform” etc. etc. There’s no other current national leader who would have been better the past 6 years in the GWOT but I’m not myopic about the failings of the Bush admin. that could have been SO much better.......
