New analogy, or, the only hope of the Republicans......

So I've been thinking a lot about John McCain. And I must admit the "You have no choice but to vote 'pubbie. Do you want Hillary/Nobama?!?!?!" argument is tempting. After all, who'd want one of those hard-line marxists in office? Even if McCain seems to be unable to get it up without pounding down a couple Viagra and "crossing the aisle" with Ted "Chappaquidick" Kennedy, it's gotta be better to have an R in office, right?

I've come to think this isn't the case. In fact, if you really are interested in having not only R's but conservative R's in charge of the House and Senate as well as PotUS, McCain getting in office is the absolute worst thing that can happen. How can I make such an outrageous claim? Two words; global warming.

McCain has drunk well and truly of Algore's Kool Aid (now in minty melted ice cap flavor!) and he's bound and determined to do something about it. And it's not making more nuke plants, sadly.

The onerous regulations he'd push through would cripple manufacturing, drive gas prices sky high, rape the American auto industry (like they aren't screwed enough as it is), and increase energy costs tremendously. After all, who'll stop him?

He just loves working with D's, and not many R's have the balls to defy the party. And believe me, he's vindictive enough to hurt anyone who stands up to him badly enough our fearless R leadership will take out a huge contract with KY to help out when McDaddy bends em over.

When gas is over $5 a gal everywhere and your home energy bill is more than your mortgage payment, whoever is in office at the time will be ran outta town on a rail. And everyone in his party will be too; guilt by association and all. Remeber when the R's took Congress back under Klinton? Same deal, but this'll be much, much worse.

Add in his love of amnesty, gun control, etc and he's the worst thing that could happen to the Republican party.

But either Nobama or the Hildabeast will be a one term wonder; the peanut farmer would leave a better legacy (Jimmy Carter for Tec and others who's knowledge of politics extends to "Bush is a Nazi" *blargh* *foam* etc). About 2 years into their reign of terror people will go "Oh *expletive deleted*it, where's all my money going?" and give conservatives a perfect platform to strike back.

Ok, damn library computers and their time limits.

So what's the analogy?

McCain is like an adjustable rate mortgage. You get suckered in by the low monthly payments (No new taxes!Just like the 1st Bush Strong on defense!) then screwed royally when it resets because you didn't read the fine print (global warming, gun show loophole, CFR, amnesty).

I'm seriously thinking about not voting because I don't think I want it on my conscience.

I know what you're saying man, and it's sad.  I'm in the same place.  I'm just having a hard time trying to decide whether I hate the Clintons or Barak's wife enough to vote for that turd.

I do like the thought of a few more years to stock up on guns, given that my finances don't permit me getting the rest of the stuff I NEED before the looming HB 1022.... thats the only positive I can think of for McCain.

grampster:
That and federal judges.
