When and if there is a President-elect Scarface, and he starts announcing his RINO and Democrat cabinet appointees as early Christmas presents in late 2008 leading up to his inauguration, you will hear groans and roars of pain here on FR, a good portion of it coming from those who foolishly supported this Trojan Horse Virus. Of course others will be neutralized, and anyway, they will be busy starting the cultic, adoring, almost slobbering, "Day in the Life of Juan and Cindy" threads on FR.
No matter what, come noon next January 20, a new President of the United States will be sworn in. Given the choice between the only two viable candidates to win the highest office in the land, I will be a lot more comfortable if it’s McCain. Thrilled and ecstatic, no.
This election isn’t about electing a Prom or Homecoming King. It’s deadly serious, life or death, election. McCain was not my first choice for the GOP nomination, but he’s it. I can choose to vote for him or not to vote, or vote for someone like Barr. If I were to choose to throw away my vote, just for kicks, I’d probably vote for Cynthia McKinny. However, I will never squander my vote. It’s a sacred honor and privilege accorded to me because I was just lucky enough to have been born in the USA, through no sacrifice of my own but by the blood of hundreds of thousands who preceded me and who serve today.
Just like President Bush, if we get President McCain, we can all find lots to grumble about. But if that is the outcome, we had best remind ourselves, as we have for 8 years, that it beats all hell out of a President Gore or a President Kerry or a President Obama.
We should all be damned glad that George W. Bush and not Al Gore was POTUS on 9/11/01. And, as the inevitable next strike on our soil occurs, I pray to God we have someone with courage like President Bush, who puts the USA and not a peacenik ideology first and foremost.
No pompoms waving here for McCain, just a practical view of what my choices are.
