Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

According to CNN’s Tasha Diakides Friday McCain said “Despite his complicated history with the party’s base, he said, pragmatic Republicans will back him when faced with the Democratic alternative.”

In other words he will follow Bush’s well worn path of pointing to the opposition and stating what are you going to do vote for them schlubs.

Looming Disaster

In a probable McCain vs. Hillary match up Hillary is preferable because Hillary did not write the comprehensive amnesty bill, she did not call all us who disagreed with it a bunch of racist xenophobes, and she took a stance in favor of blue collar workers over illegals in the last debate.

While I am under no illusions about her sincerity, she will look out for her own interests and spending all her political capital on illegals means nothing that is near and dear to her icy liberal heart will get done. On the other hand, McCain is sincere in his desire to erase our borders and destroy my nation with amnesty and will stop at nothing to do it. Once it is done there is no turning back unlike any of the liberal buffooneries Hillary might inflict on us.

While the prospects are grim and the party did this to it’s self, with the help of a screwed up primary schedule. It is not over yet; Romney is not the best candidate but he is not unacceptable, and he is the second highest in the polls. The surest way to stop this disaster is to push him over the top on Super Tuesday.

John McCain on Meet the Press (1/27/08)

Tim Russert: if elected President, would he sign the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill if the Senate passed it
McCain: Yeah, but...


Keep in mind this man doesn’t just want amnesty he wants open borders and while I keep hearing we can assimilate 20 million; I can’t help but wonder, can we assimilate 200 million? Do you doubt they would come?

stench of self-righteousness?

Burt Prelutsky over at pajamas media tells us that by refusing to support the GOP candidate we have “a stench of self-righteousness” or that we are “cuckoos” for even considering Hillary, but the calculus of it is simple.

Huckabee can’t get the nomination but by staying in he will draw support from Romney and there is no point in even mention Paul’s prospects so the GOP nomination will go to McCain. After his betrayal of the nation with S. 1348 he boldly declared everyone who objected did so not out of differences in opinion, or differing views at the path we should follow, no it’s because we are racist, xenophobic, unwashed peckerwoods.

To hell with that! After his pathetic attempt at bullying in furtherance of subterfuge McCain is unacceptable and every other person in the race without regard to party affiliation is preferable; some more so than others for sure, but all are preferable to McCain.
