Aziator nailed that one on the head. Let's just say for instance this race boils down to mcstain and hitlary. Communist versus rabid anti-constitution socialist. The country will tank.
I want hitlary to be remembered in the same way Hoover was after the crash of '29. I want the next 5 generations to think "I can't POSSIBLY vote for a communist - look at what we're having to dig our way out of after the last one!".
Now is there any difference between hitlary and mcstain? No. Not really, no. Not a dimes worth, and we all know that with our monetary system a dime ain't worth anything.
So yes, I think we'd be MUCH better off with o-spam-a or hitlary. It'll teach the republicrat party that if they prostitute themselves again - allowing people to run on their ticket, people who are adamant against the platform the republicrats CLAIM to stand for - they'll be handily defeated. The republicrats need to understand that.
One mcstain spokesman last night was commenting on the whole Rush Limbaugh thing (and no, I don't listen to Rush, he's a bit too left of my position for my listening enjoyment) and said that after this hoopla, all the republicrats would 'come home' to the party and vote for mcstain. You get that? They're claiming that NO MATTER HOW LOUSY a candidate they put forth, they TAKE FOR GRANTED you'll say "but he's better than XXXXXXX" and vote for him. Well, no thanks. Not for me. If you came home, and your wife confessed to 'hiring herself out' for a c-note or two, would you find comfort in her statement that after the flap you'd come back to her and support her again? SAME THING.
I won't 'come home' to the republicrat party. I can't - my home is gone. Seems some communist with anti-Constitutional tendencies stole it while I was looking the other way.
Either the republicrat is worth voting for or he isn't. I can't possibly sully myself by voting for someone that intentionally undermines the First, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments - and espouses a perverse view of the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments. Gee, that means he's solidly 'for' 40% of the Bill of Rights - at least until there's money to be made in selling another Amendment.
Screw mcstain, and the party he rode in with. They deserve defeat at the least, as well as my undying contempt.
Now on Romney - I've said before that if he had a track record I could look back on (besides all the bad he did in Mass) and approve, I'd vote for him. Now he's got 4 years to rack up that record. I do mean this honestly - no sarcasm - I hope he does EXACTLY that: rack up a record any REAL conservative would be proud to endorse. THEN I'd be more than happy to vote for him.
But mcstain? I don't care if he gets Alan Keyes or Ron Paul to run as his VP - I don't trust the scumbag! Not that I figure either one of those two would sully themselves with someone like mcstain.......
FWIW, one of my Patrons did a stint for several years in the secret service - I know the stories. He got fed up with the clintooooons, and now lives in a HQ in Baghdad ;D
