“Even if McCain wins you’ll still be getting a de facto “dem” anyhow. What’s the diff?”
Quite a bit of difference, in my estimation. I think that it is a real fallacy to equate a McCain presidency with the utterly scary anti-American, Black-victicrat centric socialism that would dominate an Obama presidency, or with the level of corruption that we all know characterizes a Clinton presidency. McCain does have some liberal views that I don’t like, but calling him a Dem and asking “what is the difference?” between him and his competitors is actually a sign of ignorance of the quite substantial differences, in my opinion. No offense, but that is the way I see it.
—ignorance of the quite substantial differences, in my opinion.—
You mean like “differences” on amnesty for illegal “immigrants.” Oops, none there.
You mean like belief in “global warming/climate change” nonsense that will cost the US economy billions of $$. No difference there, either.
Difference in who they’d pick as SC or federal judges. Considering McVain signed on to the “gang of 14” probably not much of a difference (with 60 or so dems in the Senate after 11/08, forget conservative judges for a while)
“Utterly scary”
McCain’s temperament (or lack thereof) and propensity to be an ill-tempered loose-cannon scares me. I respect the fact he was a POW for 5 1/2 years, but I fear the treatment he received while a guest of “Charlie” did little for his emotional well-being. And he won’t release his medical records (and he’ll be 80 IF he survives his first term).
I guess we’re screwed no matter who becomes POTUS this year.*
*Best case scenario. McCain appoints a REAL conservative
like a Duncan Hunter (though I fear Hunter is a bit of a free trader) and, for whatever reason, doesn’t finish his first term. A bit ghoulish, but this is the best we can hope for.
