Why did that happen?
Perhaps everyone was tired of being urinated on by the GOP, and their poor choices to run in the 2008 elections. There wasn't a GOP single candidate who was worth considering.
Cripes, Ron Paul was up against Mcstain in the primaries. Obama was practically running against Mcstain's VP nominee (Palin). That's how bad it was.
No one can tell me that if any of the Republicans that were running had won the election, that we would be facing what we are facing today. Not a one of them would have done this. We are waiting for perfection and since Ronald Reagan left office, that doesn’t exist.
