I have produced graphic representations of the dozen most commonly cited failings of John McCain to uphold the conservative principles we see as essential.
That reality remains for us all, and is met by a bifurcated countervailing realpolitik which trumps an eleventh hour anti-McCain spasm.
There is in our 230-year-old Republic a quadrennial event as irresistable as death and taxes and that is the presidential election.
We have not failed to elect a president in those years divisible by four. We have three choices--two after Hillary steals another airport beacon, but I digress.
McCain will prosecute a preemptive war on the jihadist enemy which is the prime threat to Western Civilization. That it's aided and abetted by Russia and China does not change its danger, nor dilute the importance of McCain's signal shining difference from both The Twelfth Imam from Chicago and Frau Mao Al-Peron: he fights for America rather than treat with her enemies.
In Hussein we have a black racist Marxist-Leninist running dog of Islamist jihadists ready to open the gates of the city to the savage hordes.
In Frau Mao Saulinsky Eleanor Evita Cecescu we have the Peoples Republic's prime mole as well as the Saudis' willing bedmate, Saudis being the real terrorist marketers with their worldwide madrassah campaign outpacing Wal-Mart and Starbucks.
This is not a time to go wobbly--the default winner of a McCain defeat is the enemy who would kill us all.
There will be another hill with its battle on which say a Bobby Jindal victory will put conservative principles back in the driver's seat.
Recall that after Goldwater's defeat and Carter's victory came Reagan's successful destruction of the Evil Empire and the vindication of Reaganomics, a triumph of American Exceptionalism.
