Whew! I was breezing through the typically ignorant and just glossed over yours until I saw the name. Backup for a reread. Second time I saw where you were, spot on. It seems to be a lesson that many conservatives and Republicans refuse to learn, divided we fall and fail.
There is one thing to be learned from the liberal and democrat side of the isle, they stick together. Rarely any talk about holding your nose, or the lesser of two evils. Leave it to the overly proud and in their mind, principled, who seem to prefer to lay down rather than fight.
The fight is a constant, it never ends, before during and after elections the fight is endless as long as there are folks out there whose minds are not right and are willing to attempt to change the nature of the Republic. I would much rather fight from the high ground than as the party out of power with no control over any branch of government.
It wasn’t so long ago that Ross Perot was able to take 20 percent or so of voters, and the painful result was eight years of WJC, surely our memories are not that short.
YES BUT WE GOT CONTROLL OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS.
Clinton didn’t get any of his laws passed. THATS THE POINT!!!!!
With McCain, there is a rational hope and recongnition that despite his betrayal that there is some high ground remaining...and this is not so much any kind of endorsement for McCain (I detest the way he has betrayed conservative principles in several critical areas) as much as it is a hard look at the reality, leaving emotion aside.
...with the Democrats in charge, there will be no high ground whatsooever that we can hold. The unborn, our own soldiers, those who have fought hard for so long for our current positioning on the SCOTUS, will all be cast out and aside IMHO with the wash.
As much as I detest McCain and his actions on immigration, free speech, global climate, etc. I cannot stand by and see the others be cast aside as well.
But that's just my opinion. I certainly understand the emotion and the passion behind other strong conservatives whom I respect who will have nothing to do with the man (McCain) whatsoever.
