Principles vs. Politics

A Nightmare of Another Sort
No self respecting American could ever support Obama for president. So, look how many self-loathing Americans are...
But McCain represents a nightmare of another sort. While McCain is far to the right of Obama, that ain't saying much, since so was Karl Marx. Only Lenin and Stalin can be honestly described as left of Obama.
As a result, even McCain represents an undesirable shift leftward. Bush, the "compassionate" conservative has proven to be far left of those who elected him. McCain is left of Bush...
What's a Conservative to Do?
Is McCain lying when he panders to the left on the Global Warming Scam, or on legalizing illegal migration, or on refusing to ask known terrorists when and where the next 9/11 might be in a serious way?
I'm afraid not... I believe that McCain actually buys into these and other insane left-wing notions. And that's why he will likely have as many Democrat as Republican supporters this fall.
Democrats, who realize just how insane it is to run from the world wide war on terror and invite the war to our own streets by pandering to the most brutal international nuts, will not be able to vote for Obama or Clinton or both. They will vote for McCain by default, as will most centrist Republicans.
But where will the conservative base of the Republican Party be come November?
Limited Choices
Is teaching the RNC another Ross Perot lesson more important the keeping Obama out of the Oval Office?
There are two schools of thought among conservatives. The natural default position for most conservatives will be to conserve that which can be conserved in this election. They will reluctantly accept a McCain, whom they agree with only 65% of the time, as opposed to Obama whom they disagree with 1000% of the time.
But the other school of thought is that the time has come to throw America into shock treatment by allowing the worst candidate to ever seek the White House to spend four years destroying America so that the political pendulum will swing hard right after experiencing the disaster sure to follow the election of an anti-American socialist Muslim while at war with anti-American socialist Muslims around the globe.
Even I can make a sincere case for the second school of thought. Americans often have to be forced to action by extreme circumstances.
Had Bush come to the people on 9/10/01 and asked for their support in a preemptive strike against Al Qaeda, nobody would have offered any such support. But 24 hours later, with 3000 innocent American citizens dead, our financial centers in ruin and the Pentagon scrambling to get their arms around the greatest attack ever on American soil, Americans were in the mood for war.
That was almost seven years ago, a lifetime in America's fast paced "what have you done for me lately" world. The focus on national security is all but gone. The average American voter has returned to life as usual in the absence of further attacks. Gifts from the federal treasury top the list of priorities once again.
