“If the Socialist Party controls congress, it is even more important that we can hold the executive.”
Trouble is the socialist McCain will go along with anything the socialist party wants.
Actually, his record suggests that he will ikely go along with about 10%, will blunt the edge of another 10% and oppose 80%. That is considerably better than the record of Obama (100% socialist) or Clinton (about 80% socialist). In politics 80% is acceptable. Allowing the socialists to work unimpeeded for 4+ years will take decades of effort to undo, effort that could have been better spent.
