While you make many points, some with validity at the margins, the basic tenant of your argument it the following:

The problem is that voting for Rudy, or Huckabee or McCain would be every bit as likely to send the Nation over the cliff described above as voting for the Democrat or staying home.

Essentially, your saying that "there is no difference between the parties"; that is pure sophistry.

"that is pure sophistry."

HOW true of so many here.....

I’m not saying there’s no difference between the parties, only that there won’t be if the GOP has gone soft-headed enough to nominate Rudy, Huckabee or McCain. That’s not sophistry. It is a judgment you don’t even try to dispute and you’d be well advised not to.

There is no case to be made for the proposition that any of those three would damage America significantly less as President than Hillary Clinton. Republicans would be responsible for any of them in a way they would not be responsible for Hillary. If the country is intent on going to Hell in a handbasket, so be it. But I won’t promote the decline and you shouldn’t either.
