Dear Rachel: How far?
Rachel Lucas and others (notably Bill Whittle) are arguing for McCain. I understand the argument. I don’t agree with it, but I understand it, because I have been operating under it for the past nine years with GWB. Here’s a question that I am not sure they have answered for themselves:
How bad does the Republican nominee have to be for you to not vote for him?
I believe that McCain is an authoritarian of the Italian Fascist model. Really. Would you vote for Mussolini to defeat Hillary Clinton? Really? Because that is where I am. Where does your line fall? At what point does the “R” behind a politician’s name stop mattering?
I do not see a difference between Hillary and McCain. McCain is strong on the war? So is Hillary. Hillary won’t appoint conservative judges? Neither will McCain — he orgainzed the Republican resistance to Bush’s nominees. Hillary and McCain are cut from the same cloth — it is a choice between Mussolini and Stalin. I won’t make it. I’ll sit out and buy ammunition.
I am so depressed about this upcoming vote. I’m chalking one up for Romney in my state (only because I heard tell that he might choose Thompson as a Veep, and god knows someone needs to punch a buncha hippies.) I dunno if Romney stands a chance, tho. This is lunacy.
One of my good pool playing friends is behind Huckabee. Problem is he likes Huckabee for all the reasons I don’t.
He plays the bass! He’s Everyman! Like you and me! Come on!
I don’t know what I’m gonna do come election time either.. pretty fuckin gay..
