Are we really this desperate?
Republicans are frustrated by the success of the anti-Bush coalition, they think they can swindle some independents this time around by putting on the ballot an open-borders, anti-tax cut, anti-free speech, global-warming hysteric, populist “Republican.”
In other words, a Democrat.
Let’s take a look at the issues one by one:
1) He labeled Samuel Alito as too “conservative”.
2) He created amnesty for 20 million illegal immigrants.
3) He limited citizens’ free speech with McCain-Feingold.
4) He opposes waterboarding terrorists and wants to shut down Gitmo.
5) He denounced the Swift Boat movement against John Kerry’s record.
6) He opposes ANWR and is a card-carrying member of the Church of Gore.
McCain uses the rallying call of all Republicans in saying he will appoint “strict constructionists.” This is SUPPOSED to end all discussion of the courts. But if he’s nominating strict constructionists, he will have to appoint judges who will commit to overturning his 1st place pig at the fair, McCain-Feingold.
As part of the “Gang of 14,” McCain opposed allowing the VP to break a tie on judicial nominations. Allowing such action (as dictated by the Constitution), McCain said, “would be a terrible precedent.” Yes, if members of Congress actually read the Constitution, they might realize McCain-Feingold is actually unconstitutional.
f Hillary is elected president, we’ll have a four-year disaster, with Republicans ferociously opposing her, followed by Republicans zooming back into power, as we did in 1980 and 1994, and 2000. (I also predict more Oval Office incidents with female interns.)
Of course, back in 2004, McCain was considering running on a presidential ticket with John Kerry. Realizing that this would not help his chances to run as a Republican in 2008, when he would be a mere 120 years old, McCain quickly withdrew his interest in being on Kerry’s ticket.
If Hillary is elected president, we’ll have a four-year train wreck, with Republicans ferociously opposing her, followed by Republicans zooming back into power, as we did in 1980 and 1994, and 2000. (Remember, we needed Carter to get Reagan.)
If McCain is elected president, we’ll have a four-year train wreck, with the Republicans in Congress co-opted by “our” president, followed by 30 years of Democratic rule.
You choose.
