Really, what's the worst that happens if one of those two idiots becomes president? My prediction is that each one will have some reason for "re-evaluating our options based on information available only to a President". In any case, if either Rat was not out of Iraq within six months of assuming office, the moonbats will go rabid on them.
What's the worst that can happen if we just pull our troops out of the way and let the ragheads annihilate each other? Will it be any harder for a future true conservative to saturation bomb Baghdad or Tehran? Yes, the WOT is important, but securing our own borders is the only thing we really need do to fight it here. And frisking grandmas for knitting needles is not helping the problem.
After McCain, though, I will never vote for another Republican just because “the alternative is worse.”
I'm one election ahead of you, because I believe that the probability of a McPain victory, and two years of his impotency presiding over a failing economy does us no favors in our attempt to get Congress back. It's too late for a true conservative to take the oath of office on January 20th, why not have someone in place who can take all the crap that is coming down, and will convince Americans that conservative Republicans are the only grown-ups left in this country?
Somalia looms too large in my mind for me to give Senator Clinton or Senator Obama the benefit of a doubt. Either one of them will do just enough to lose the war and save their rears.
As of right now, both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have the political cover to justify losing the war. They can blame the prior administration and claim it was a mess that they inherited and there was nothing they could do.
What do you think would have happened if Senator McCain would have been president when the bodies our our soldiers were dragged through the streets? We know what happened when a Clinton was running things.
Allowing Iraq to turn into a bloody civil war would have consequences far worse then our economy tanking.
