I found your post to be impassioned, insightful, and accurate while you focused on Hillary and Obama and I agree with you 100%.
However, you make a fatal mistake in assuming that McCain is more on our side than the left’s and actually wants what we want. He hasn’t really courted us and would like nothing more but to continue to ignore us and win without us. He says that he only wants one term, so how do we hold his feet to the fire? After the travesty of McCain Feingold, he — along with Bush for signing it and SCOTUS for okaying it — should have been impeached. Instead, he is ‘our’ candidate for the top job.
I will vote for a conservative for President. Unfortunately that does not mean McCain.
Understood. But who is the conservative onthe ballot? Where is he?
I think the country deserves better than having the scumbags back in charge or the radical closeted black panther.
Like I said - I don’t like McCain at all; and the only two real conservatives (IMHO) Hunter and Thompson QUIT and bailed on us. Who is left? Ron Paul? While I agree that he IS conservative on some issues (especially 2nd Amendment issues), the GOP will NOT let him win. Period. This is a reality that we face. He does NOT have the support of middle America, and THAT is where this will be fought and won.
To hold his feet to the fire, I think we can at the very least, with a secured/gridlocked Congress, hold the threat of STALEMATE/impasse over McCain’s head, versus a run-amok, rubber stamp DemCom controlled congress if either of the other A**holes win.
“Clowns to the left of me...jokers to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle...”
Kinda sums it all up...
Congress is the REAL battle. This POTUS race is the shiney thing to distract us. We need to get Conservatives into Congress to slam these freaks down and trash EVERY un-Constitutional law that comes across their desks. therwise, we’re just pissing in the wind and this whole issue is moot.
What are our COngressional options this time around? I think we need to re-tool and re-focus our efforts there, to take our House and Senate back and not just hold it, but reinforce it with a good number of seats.
I don’t have the answer, my friend...just trying to work through it all, same as the rest of Freepland...
