Obama is a Marxist and he will appoint a Marxist cabinet. Is that better than a RINO cabinet? You'd rather have Marxists in control?

Read these words from President Ronald Reagan and take them to heart:

When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it.

"Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.

I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

How has the Left advanced so far today? Incrementalism. Small steps. Working slowly over decades. That is how we'll take the country back to Conservatism. McCain is not the end goal, but a step; Obama would be another big step to the Left, meaning even more work - if we even get the chance - to bring the Nation back to the founding principles.
