Chilling; and a very good post. Thanks.

You know, another way of framing this is well, we may have to hold our nose and vote for McCain, but, it’s kinda like the strategy of General Sam Houston. One of his tactics was similar to that of the Russians v. Napolean, he kept retreating deeper and deeper into the East Texas piney woods, (a thoroughly miserable place), sniping the enemy as he went, wearing them down and refusing them a full engagement until he had them on terrain of his liking, (a swamp). So, we get McCain, we fight on; it’s kinda like putting your finger in the dyke, but it’s better than abdication and defeat.

“...it’s kinda like putting your finger in the dyke, but it’s better than abdication and defeat.”

Well said.

Reminds me of Gen. Chesty Puller, “We’re surrounded...That simplifies our problem.” ;)

I’m more concerned that we keep SCOTUS balanced, if not totally in our favor. The left has used SCOTUS to screw us over and mess with our Constitution time and again. I think our other problems can take care of themselves if we safeguard SCOTUS.

And since I’m dreaming, I’d like the House and Senate firmly back under (R) control too, LOL!
