What you said.
And, if McCain is elected and has a majority democrat Congress how will it be different?
Amen to that.
Sounds wisdom, to a point, how are Conservatives supposed to show their displeasure with DC, and at the same time vote and do the hard work of electing John McCain a man who routinely throws Conservatism under the Bus?
After seeing Obamao, I could never vote for the man, but there are races at all different levels that Republicans even Conservative Republicans need grassroots support to win that McCain is sucking the life out of.
Amen to that.
My guess is that a lot of these people were also saying how a loss in 2006 might be a good thing. But it doesn’t seem the American public is blaming the Democrat Congress for the problems in this country, even if their approval ratings are in the tank.
Either of the dims would be so stinking stupid they would get us nuked and then send the perps foreign aid.
Excellent post. However, none of these candidates are serious about reining in the spending power of the congress. There is a smart fellow by the name of Robert Ringer who argued that getting Obama in the WH will be a quicker death for the US. $ than with Hillary or McCain.
What would be different if Captain Queeg becomes president? He’ll raise taxes. He’ll let illegal immigrants become citizens. He’ll stifle free speech. McCain is just as bad as Hussein and Hillary. The American people are in the unenviable position of having to choose between 3 complete liberal nitwits to be our next president.
The Republicans took over and the Federalists never recovered.
Problem is no true conservative leadership on the horizon.
I've reached the conclusion that letting the whole place go to hell as quickly as possible is the only thing that will prevent a protracted, say 20 years, of economic misery for my kids and grandkids when this whole house of cards begins to fall anyway.
The debt is beyond the ability to sustain it. Political correctness and rule making cannot be put back in the box. The hunger of government for money to pay for the pensions and perks of those on the teat, as well as social programs for everyone else on the teat, will continue unrestrained. Health care will eventually be nationalized by the government on a state by state basis if the federal government doesn't get to it first.
Face it. The experiment in democracy has failed.
Lesser countries will be forced to tolerate not-so-benign dictatorships to prevent total anarchy. We are too free and too stubborn to suffer that choice.
Instead, we will be happy enough to splinter into groups that compete to start over.
God Save America.
Personally, I will not vote for a socialist, no matter what party they claim to represent.
Thank you for saying what I have been thinking (and saying) for a while now. Wake up people, I would love to have a true conservative in office, but that is unlikely in today’s “give me, give me” political environment. We will lose more than just our money if we allow Obama to win. He will find a way to stifle dissent, and I would bet he would try and close this website down.
McCain will do one thing we need and that is Supreme Court Justices that are strict constructionists. Remember the liberals on the court are all old and will need to be replaced by the next president. As such, allowing Obama to have 4 years is a 25 year nightmare....
The conservative movement is shattered far beyond what operation chaos is doing to the Dems.
God have mercy on us.
Bingo, plus I’ll have hives for years.
Man, I really do enjoy your posts. I would like, very much, to agree with you on this, but I can’t.
First of all, times are way different now. Tradition and respect are lost artifacts of our culture and politics.
Secondly, Congress, specifically the Senate, plays a huge role in blocking a renegade POTUS, or one they see as a renegade, like 43. Remember, there were many backstage deals struck to get his noms passed, do you think Barry can muster that much support? In the beginning he may, after he gets rolling, though, he’ll be hated.
Everything McManiac does, will be pinned to Conservatism, and forever will we hear...hey McCain was a Conservative, and he opened the borders, raised taxes, allowed abortions, etc. And if anyone thinks he will appoint a Roberts or Scalia, think again, he’ll cave (reach across the aisle) in a NY second.
Not in my name. Not this time. Not ever again.
I’m pluggin my nose and working hard for Conservatives in Congress, I wrote off POTUS when Fred and Duncan left us.
People really do get the government they deserve.
As Rush has said, if the country’s going to be destroyed in any case, might as well let the other party be the one to do it. No Juan McAmnesty ever.
Thanks for a reasonable post. I don’t like McCain, but I’ll vote for him because he won’t surrender in Iraq. For all the soldiers who sacrificed so much, I’ll do my best to ensure it was not in vain.
