Just suppose McCain can win, and win big enough to have coattails for some conservatives. I don’t think it is going to happen, but let’s just imagine it does, once the conventions are over, and the polls start giving us useful information. What will you do then? I know I could never vote for McCain, but there could come a time when pointing out the fact that he is an old Democrat who is going to hurt us might become counter productive. There could come a time when criticizing McCain could cost conservative Republicans the votes they need to win. At the very least, it is something to think about. Meanwhile, it’s time to go after Hernandez the same way everyone has gone after Wright. Since Obama can’t have his anti-American racist on his campaign team, McCain shouldn’t have his either.
It’s possible to get over the urge to bash McCain. I quit doing it over a year ago, right up until I realized the old dog was going to win the Republican nomination, and since then I’ve been getting it out of my system again. It is difficult, and this Hernandez thing is just too hypocritical on the part of Republicans to ignore. Going after Wright has been fun. Obama deserves all the grief he gets from hanging out with his racist mentors, but McCain’s racist friend is no better, and we shouldn’t let him slide.
Keeping quiet and sacrificing your values & ideals like that could quite possible help John McCain win this election. Those values & ideals will however be regarded as quite irrelevant in all future elections. Its a big price to pay for getting one man elected for 4 years.
