How about you direct all that (whatever it is) to lobbying for a winning VP?
(Plan B)

After Tuesday's primaries it's official – Hillary Clinton has gotten up off the mat, and an opportunity to possibly finish her off has gone by the wayside. Just how much, if at all, this might have been due to Republican crossover voting in Texas is unclear. But one thing is not: The chances of a potential Clinton/Obama unity ticket, which would have the best shot of all possible tickets of spelling doom for the GOP in November, have just gotten better.
Yes, there is still the possibility of a Democratic civil war and intra-party meltdown, which was apparently the point of conservative crossover voters trying to keep Sen. Clinton's candidacy alive. Mathematically, it appears almost certain that neither she nor Sen. Obama can obtain the number of delegates needed to prevent a brokered convention and keep the nomination from going to the superdelegates to decide. But to presume that this will automatically get the fur flying is presuming a bit too much.

Rush admits it. “Extend the infighting”, “chaos til the end”, “bloody up the convention”.
Yea, real fun.
Seems a more accurate description of Republicans, actually.
McCain has a proven track record of supporting, even actively pushing through that Marxist agenda. I see no reason to believe he will not do the same as president. He sacrifices principle to get his name on legislation that is bad for the country. You will see more McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman type legislation that the Republicans in the House and Senate will feel somewhat obligated to support (think the prescription drug plan).
Get over yourself.
I’d rather wake up and find this is all a nightmare.
Most sheeple wouldn't pick up on that without the MSM sharing that with them.
Reality is, John McCain is the nominee.
The other equally important reality is, John McCain is running against Marxists.
As much as you might have your undies in a bunch about John McCain, one thing John McCain is most certainly not, is a Marxist. As I recall, he was on the wrong end of AK-47’s in Vietnam. Fighting Marxists.
Hysteria helps nobody.
Except of course, the opposition.
Don’t become the opposition, in your own party.
(yes, it still is!)
The John McCain from the last eight years is not nearly the John McCain in Vietnam.
Oh, that's right. Anything you don't agree with or that you think you have some facts to refute is these things.
Have a nice day.
(Plan B)
This is the crucial point, not who do we personally like better but who will do the most damage to the Country if elected.
Republicans always seem to do better in opposition than they do when they lead. If Hillary or Obama were elected, there is a fair chance that Republicans in Congress will unite against passage of the most egregious Democrat Bills. Look what they've been able to do recently with their control of Congress.
If McCain is elected, he will support the most egregious of the Democrat bills, as he has in the past, and the likelihood is that enough Republicans in Congress will support him to pass the Democrat bills.
Whether you agree or not, a good argument can be made that McCain is the greatest danger to our Country and, most certainly, would destroy the Republican party. But then, with 25+ million newly amnestied Democrat voters, conservatives, and the Republican party, will be inconsequential.
I tend to agree a BHO and HRC ticket would be a disaster for the Dems. They have to get a moderate to balance out the socialism.
______________________________________
The only problem I see with your argument is socialism. The two dem candidates are both promoting socialism of our health care system. And their party does not blink an eye!
Why would they need a moderate to balance out anything? They don’t have the pub vote, the conservative vote, the military vote etc. Moderates and Independents seem to have latched onto McCain and will most likely stay there.
They really don’t stand much to gain by going with the conventional wisdom and running to the middle.
What do you think?
I think Obama still believes he can hide the socialism with the help of the media and the vagueness of his speeches. He is banking on the country being so upset with Bush that they fill in what they want to hear with him. A moderate VP would help them along. Most people don’t look very deeply into the records of politicians, even in the center or on the right.
HRC is another matter, I don’t think she can win no matter what she does.
Obama MIGHT be able to snow enough people in the middle and then turn out more voters.
The real danger with Obama is him bringing a wave of new voters along with a depressed GOP turnout.
Both rat tickets are nightmares. The Repub ticket is just a bad dream.
They should just be done with it and have McCain ask Hillary to be his VP and her ask McCain to be her VP. Either way we are the losers, but it would shore up their power grab.
Agree. I crossed over (in Va) to vote for Obama, for that reason.
Rush DID affect the crossover vote in TX, shifting it from about 75-25 Obama to 52-48 Hillary, as far as I can surmise.I think that gave Hillary her margin of victory, and therefore the psychological boost. So the Rush factor was very significant.
I think McCain is also a nightmare ticket. For the GOP itself, it is probably a bigger nightmare than Hillary/Obama because the negative effects will last longer.
