The bright side of the dark side of the moon.

Inoperable?


Okay, I’ve had it with elections and voting. Looks like McCain will be the Republican nominee, and that’s that. And I don’t care whether Thing One or Thing Two becomes the Democrat nominee—they’re each as bad as the other, and the only reason Obama would be “better” than Mrs. Antichrist is because a victory for High School Boy will keep Mr. Antichrist out of the White House, for good.

So that’s it. If there’s another post about elections and the candidates, it will most likely be on another website.  - Baron du Toit

Which is pretty much how I feel,  for the moment anyway.  That it's even possible to make a case for a John McCain presidency, and there sadly is, is testament to how filthy the democrat party is.  What sustains me for the moment is the prospect of a Clinton train-wreck.  I heard  this morning that Obama-Rama is questioning the source of that  five-million dollar cash  infusion into Her Filthiness's campaign.  She is just arrogant enough, and stupid enough, to try another money laundering scheme, and I hope she did, because this time the left media are not so keen to cover up for her, now that they have a new apparent savior. Wouldn't it be nice to go into a new year with the Clinton's obituary behind us?  As for Obama, I'm thinking Geraldine Ferraro.

I've read elsewhere that McCain can beat Hillary, but not Obama. I can see the logic in that reasoning, but I fear that should we go up against her, and she wins, this country is in deep deep trouble. The next few months are impossible to predict.

On that $5 million, where would she have gotten that much? Prior to exiting the WH the filthy Clintons were broke. Now I know he's made a ton, but she's only been a senator since then making comparatively) peanuts. Is it OK for Bill to lend her that moolah?

Anonymous, clearly you've never been married, or at least never been through the divorce experience. It's all hers, unless she signs it away. Most lawyers won't do that.

Barrett Report. Details at 11. That's November, if she's the candidate.

I'm a long-time reader of this and at least 20 other center-right blogs.I'll make these comments and be on my way. I don't need a response as I'm not going to read them and I don't care what you think anyway.

I was center-left (at best) before 9-11 and am now center right (firmly). The Kool-Aid drinkers of either side are of equal value to me and I hope they one day fight a war and kill each other off.

I'm AMAZED anyone on the right would sit out the next election or even vote democratic because their candidate isn't getting nominated. That's childish. Letting the country fall to crap won't vindicate you and it won't set you up for victory the next time. It's petty and unfair to the nation.

Winning elections require the support of the base AND a large portion of the middle. Let's hope McCain chooses Fred or someone else with wide appeal to the right and middle. You also want the vice-president to be someone who can run and win an election 8 years down the road. Huckabee will never be that person. His appeal to the center is negative infinity.

Fight to win this election and then work to groom a better candidate for the next time. This person would still need to appeal to the center-right and center if they'd have a chance to win. "I'd rather lose and be right" is noble when the stakes are low, but this is for the leader of the free world in a time of low level and possibly endless war against Islamofascists.

Sorry, die-hards, but your purity tests doom you and your candidates to fringe status. In some ways you're no differet than the people you hate most.

Read it or not, WTF? I'm looking at this post again to see where I urged people to sit out the election rather than vote for McCain? I can only conclude that you had that turd half-way out, and dropped it without looking. Aside from that, I agree with you.

"That it's even possible to make a case for a John McCain presidency, and there sadly is, is testament to how filthy the REPUBLICAN party is."

I can't make a case for a McCain Presidency.

Even if I could stand the thought of him as the Republican Party standard-bearer, it would result in the continued, and perhaps complete, unraveling of the Republican Party.

He would have a "negative coattail" effect, and the Republican Party would continue to hemorhage seats in the Senate and the House.

If HRC or Obama is elected, as awful as that would be, the Republican Party would likely engage in some much needed soul-searching which would likely result in a return to its core conservative values and elected office.

We do fine when we run conservative candidates, and we get slaughtered when we run "toward the middle (aka try to appeal to the crowd who hangs out at the mall and Walmart)".

I'm empathetic, but for me the choices are three, and the only remotely acceptable outcome, one. I'm not at all sure we survived the first Clinton Occupation; another - and that includes the surrogate Obama - will be, I think, the end of us. It has to be McCain. Don't forget, he's old.

McCain will wipe the floor with either Hillary or Obama. The states are what matters and Hillary is the only one with a chance to flip Florida. Obama doesn't have that chance. No Florida, no democrat win. If McCain takes one extra state (W lost Wisconsin (or Iowa can't remember which) by 0.8%. McCain flips that state and again, it's over. If he gets a vp that takes a state like Minnesota or Michigan or another medium large, again over. I know I am in the small minority, but I have difficulty seeing a dem win this fall. Especially if Obama gets the nomination and the country finds out he's more liberal than Kennedy.

I read some where that McCain has never put in an earmark. Thats true conservatism.
He was my number eight pick when the field was nine. My two bottom runners are still in it along with the poor guy who cleaned up after Clinton in Arkansas. If Billary wins, (a scary dream I know), I hope he is arround to clean up their mess again.
I'm trying to find major diffrences between McInsane and Bush. haven't come up with any yet.
