There are three things that are making me keep an open mind on the "Voting for the death of my own liberties" issue with McCrazy:
1. The SCOTUS Justice issue. Yes, a couple of the most lib Justices are virtually on life support waiting for a Dem to become Prez, and have been for four years....even if Crazy John virtually is a Dem, there is still a thin line there and I'd love to see the wailing and robe-tearing when the particular Supreme Weasels realize they're truly screwed.
2. The Veep choice, since that will tell whether he actually gives a rat's ass about the Conservatives at all.
3. What commitments is he going to make to us...not really the platform, but what promises is John going to make to us and be held accountable for (i.e. the infamous 'No new taxes' pledge, however in his case I'd settle for 'I'll leave gun control where it is').
I do not buy that Hitlery will destroy the US in four years, she is too cagey for that, she will just inflict major (but not irretrievable) damage, aside from GWOT and SCOTUS I doubt there will be much noticeable difference between her and McCain as Prez. Obama is a whole 'nuther story, he is a total rube if a very charismatic one, and therefore likely to be another Jimmuh.
