My apologies to those FReepers who stayed home and sat on their hands on election night. This Trojan horse could have been ours.

There is no indication that McCain would've done the same. And as bad as McCain is, he isn't as bad as Obama. So thanks to those who sat on their hands on election day, we now have a commie dictator destroying the country. Wait until he starts filling the courts with hundreds of ultra liberal judges.

How else can you explain someone so inarticulate and ignorant?

It’s curious, since allowing same-sex couples to pretend to be married fails the test of voting everywhere, even in California.

Why would “strategists” think the GOP should give up things they support which are popular?

I like both Govs. Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin very much. Neither is the least intolerant of homosexuals, yet communicate resistance to gay marriage in very reasonable ways.

I still can’t believe I voted for this putz. There isn’t enough bleach and or a strong enough power-washer to get that stink off. I’ll carry the shame with me for the rest of my days.

Same here. I went home after voting, took an iodine bath, induced vomiting, and listened to 2 hours of Burl Ives recordings to wash the horror from my mind. Seriously, for the first time, I contributed significantly to a campaign and put a campaign sign in my yard, all because of the horror of an Obama presidency. I'm almost embarrassed now. At least our known enemy isn't a hypocrite.

And the grass hasn't grown where I had the sign.

And McCain wouldn't have? I used to think he wouldn't, but he's exposed himself for what he is - a libtard turncoat.

It doesn’t matter to me how tolerant or intolerant one is to homosexuals. What matters to me is their deeds in fighting off the homo leftist agenda. Do they go to the mat over fighting it or not. Mitt has a history of Giuliani-esque cheerleading for them.

Yes, I don't think there is compelling evidence that McCain's judicial nominations would be anywhere as liberal as Obama's will be.

There is no question McCain is bad. I don't like the man, but I think he is far better than Obama, and regarding appointing judges he probably would've done a better job. McCain's record supporting conservative judges in the senate is solid, and remember he voted against Obama stimulus.

You obviously have low standards.

On the contrary. I love my country, thus voting for McCain was the better alternative. Even Rush and Mark Levin were saying the same thing. That doesn’t mean I agree with McCain 100% but having Obama as president might meet your high standards.

As much as I loathe McCain, anything would have been better then the clown we have now..plus, if McCain had won, we would have had Sarah in the White House where she belongs instead of that moron Biden, who still talks like a 2 year old

“And as bad as McCain is, he isn’t as bad as Obama. So thanks to those who sat on their hands on election day, we now have a commie dictator destroying the country. Wait until he starts filling the courts with hundreds of ultra liberal judges. “

And is destroying our currency, is not supporting needed nuclear energy development, passed a budget that allows faith based groups to be kicked off of college campuses, shows weakness to our enemies ( Iran in particular), floats legislation that would mandate young people “volunteer” for govt service, etc etc.

Do people really believe we would not be better off with McCain/Palin (flaws and all)?

I don't think I'll ever forgive McCain for his horrid, anti-constitutional McCain-Feingold, but I overlooked it when he became the nominee out of self-preservation for a vestige of what conservatism might be in him.

...regarding appointing judges he probably would've done a better job. McCain's record supporting conservative judges in the senate is solid...

I agree that McCain's nominees for justices would have been slightly better than Obama's, and this is where the danger lies. A radical leftist nominee by Obama will raise sharply polarized opposition, from most R's and from many "conservative" D's. At best, this will result in gridlock, much as the Democrats have done to many judicial nominees of Bush over the past 8 years. A McCain nominee, on the other hand, would have been a compromise to appease a Dem majority in both houses - only slightly better than Obama's, but just as deadly to conservatism. His "moderate" choice would have sailed through confirmation hearings.

I'd rather a confirmed enemy, than a cowardly "friend."
