You will find most people on this site to be too well informed to buy outlandish statements such as that McCain and Obama are both fundamentally the same as far as statism is concerned.

Which do you think is more dangerous to the flock: The wolf in wolve's clothing, or a wolf in sheep's clothing?

If you mean by that, Do I consider Obama more dangerous to the welfare of this country both foreign and domestic, the answer is yes. I know, from your posts, you despise McCain and would prefer to turn the country over to Obama in hopes of getting Mr. Perfect in 2012. The problem with that is you have no guarantee of either nominating or electing your ideal in 2012.

Even if you did get your ideal in 2012, remember the lessons of 1976. Jimmy Carter was defeated after only one term. He did immense damage to our economy, but Reagan quickly rectified that. His foreign policy disasters, most notably the overthrow of the Shah in Iran and the installation of the Mullahs, dog us 30 years later and shows no signs of abating. Domestic leftism sometimes can be reversed. Foreign Policy leftism can last for generations. I don’t want the next Democratic foreign policy fiasco to end with a mushroom cloud over an American city.

You think the country would be better off taking the chance of four years of Obama and trying to evict him in 2012. I, and most conservatives, disagree. McCain is not perfect. Neither was Reagan. He gave us Sandra Day O’Connor and Anthony Kennedy. We are still suffering from the latter. The perfectionist caucus gets us Jimmy Carters and Barack Obamas. No thanks.
