“The other guy is driving us towards the cliff at 100 mph” is not a reason to vote for a guy who will drive us towards the cliff at a mere 80 mph.
1. We're all in the car together. When one goes, we all go.
2. How close to "the cliff" are we?
3. Define "cliff".
4. The 20mph difference may well give us the time to "correct the steering".
5. One could make the solid arguement that mid-way through January of 2009, we all actually went over the cliff. We're still falling; we just haven't hit yet.
Regardless, I will - unless I die first - vote AGAINST the stain in Nov of 2012.
It's that simple.
