We have been reading blogs and articles all over the spectrum. Everything from talk radio pushing Romney down our throats to conservatives voting for Hillary rather than McCain.
There is only one thing that matters. In January either McCain or (Hillary or Obama) will be giving the oath to become the 44th president of the United States. Which do you want?
Those who claim that people will see how bad things are under a Democratic president, and then not vote Democratic again have a short memory. That is the same things that people were saying in 2006 about throwing the rascals out when they lost their way with corruption and when they lost all semblance of fiscal responsibility. What happened? We had the media saying that the Republicans lost because of their support of the war in Iraq. We got the worst do-nothing congress ever. But what are the prospects for the congressional races in 2008? Do we have the big revolt that would return congress to their senses and conservative representatives to power?
What will we have in 2012 if we revolt and elect . . . one of them? Four years of Democratic rule. A number of Supreme Court appointments whose effect will be felt for decades. Higher taxes, more regulation, a stagnant economy, environmental regulations, etc., etc., and, of course, etc.. But what about that great revolt? We will have liberals complaining that the government is not liberal enough. We will have conservatives complaining that things would be better if only they were in power.
If we can do such a good job forgetting what happened in 2006 after two years, how are we going to remember why we put the democrat in power after four years.
The choice is simple. McCain, or (Hillary/Obama).
Make your choice.
