Obama/Hillary, OTOH, have never met an enemy they did not want to 'get to know better' and for whom their sympathies they can barely contain.
***Am reading 'A Russian Diary' by Anna Politkovskaya; the journalist killed in the stairwell of her Moscow apartment as she returns from what is her last day of work. She chronicles the 'truth of Putin's Russia'; his overriding arrogance and hypocrisy. Worse she details his ruthlessness; and the evil it is grounded in. She coolly transcribes Putin's MO for dealing with those who dissent; those who wish to challenge him. She tells of his friends; and enemies, who soon become 'former enemies'. (. . . an ongoing purge we are still witnessing as late as last week, when wealthy Russian ex-pat and enemy of Putin was found dead in his London home/fortress)
It is an ugly, fear-filled chronicle and cannot help to compare the average Russian's decision as he prepares to cast his vote on Election day. Because Putin needs 'numbers' for a credible victory; voting is mandatory and one cannot even be hospitalized without first voting or showing proof that they cast their vote. (Am reminded here - as I am throughout the book of so much of the Left's MO - of Hillary's plan to combat 'voter apathy' by compelling our electorate to vote - a voter apathy remedy she offered as casually as when claiming she will 'take profits' etc. . .Mandatory is a power word for 'change'; for both Obama and Hillary. . .
Worst of the voting experience for the Russian citizen, is of course, the voter's knowledge that there is no chance for the Leader's failure to win as he has disposed of all reasonable challengers; and knowing too well, what this 'win' poses for the future of the Russian populace. ***
Comparing our situation; of Republican's having McCain represent them and so, refusing to vote; versus a win, for Obama/Hillary. . .it seems, by conclusion, there IS no comparison. It does however, prompt me to want to vote for the man who is not a committed ideologist; no matter his Liberal prostrations - and because of this, a man, whose Presidential term cannot compare in outcome to what an authentic and committed Leftist will deliver to our Country.
Think we as Republican's better get our thumbs out of our mouths; and prepare to take what for many of us, is a detestable pill and vote for the candidate least inclined to embrace a Marxist tradition and again; one who is both able and willing to recognize our enemies; and believes in having a Military equipped to deal with ugly enemy realities. Here, IMHO, we cannot fail our Country or America's future.
WE have had Election turning points; and this is another one. We don't know how many turns we get here; but we have fair warning from our opposition. We can manage four years of McCain. . .if we choose not to; we most likely, will not recognize America if we fast forward to year 2050.
(We should never imagine that we are immune to the tragedies of injustice that others suffer in their countries around the world; whereby the most evil of government power becomes inescapable.)
I disagree. McCain has proven himself to be unmanagable, and he has repeatedly thumbed his nose at the US Constitution and the citizens of this country, as has Hillary.
