We really have no choice, we have two dems that are deep socialist and a what ever the Hell you want to call him that calls himself conserv. I'm trying to convince myself on the what ever the Hell he is would be the best.
It's a reality that I am VERY reluctantly embracing.
I'm fighting my strong beliefs and morals to walk away and not vote, I believe in a system that is being run over by stupidity. We have allowed our election process to be watered down by peoples who do not care about our country and what it stands for.
For what it's worth: As much as I despise liberalism the VAST MAJORITY of liberals believe themselves to be acting with noble purpose and direction.

But then again the road to Hell is paved...

Well, you know the rest.

With good intentions, I know that and i have a friend that is a Liberal. He believes in a socialist type health care, believes it would be the best thing going.

I have a fantasy that McCain will pick a strong conservative running mate (I think he almost has to if he wants to woo the conservative wing to get out the vote). Then I believe that strong running mate will be our next Ronnie Reagan.... It's a longshot, but a girl can dream.

I have other fantasies... never mind.  :-) I know how squeamish you get when "mom" talks about what gets her groove on, eh son?

I hate to be negative, but I have this sneaking suspicion that the VP will be someone we don't particularly care for. 


I hope I'm wrong, but with Crist's name being tossed around as much as it is, I am very nervous right now.

More than likely, but I am going to think positive. McCain is right on the issue that is most important to me, defense. Every other issue is secondary without a strong defense nothing else will matter.
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I can't think positive these days, that's my problem.  Call me an idealist, if you like, but I just can't shake this feeling of dread.

That's my general feeling as well.

Alas, McCain seems to go out of his way to thumb his nose at us. His VP is his heir.

Do we want 8 years of capitulation on our principles...or 16? Could we recover after such a stretch?

A Hillary or Obama we can bounce after 4.

We're ****ed either way.  I'd rather vote for McCain and have some chance of keeping either of those other two away from the Oval Office.

Well, you know the rest.

This is true.  There are only two kinds of liberals.  The first type are the truly evil ones who know exactly what they are doing and why, and the second group (which is the VAST MAJORITY) are the intellectually empty emotionally driven stooges that follow the first type.  I completely disagree there is anything noble about either type, even in their own assessment of themselves.  

Everything about liberalsim is a lie.  That includes how they fool others to make them believe liberals think of their causes as being noble.

With a solid senate we can halt them dead in their tracks.

Sadly, conservatives have bought into the liberal myth of the do-all presidency. Te president is the chief protector of the republic. It's supposed to be congress that legislates. We betray our principle of decentralized, state-based power when we confer our every political wish upon the presidency. What would a McCain, Hillary or even an Obama matter if we acted where our power is most concentrated: our individual reps and senators? Those are the pols we can best manage and turn-out as needed.

True, but alas you are right, the majority think the office of the pres. is suppose to save them from all ills, take katrina for instance, the local govern was suppose to take action and the U.S. govern comes in later if needed. What did we get? A dem state that didn't have any Idea on how to take care of there own jobs and the libs were able to push that the U,S, govern is now responsable. Do we want more of that with Hillary and or Obama?

Ron Paul supporters especially have bought in to that. They actually believe that he could do the stuff he promises. When in reality the only thing that he could accomplish is pulling out of iraq.

I've always thought Lindsey Grahamnesty was on the short list.  Would McCain throw his own clone under  the bus simply to appease conservatives?
