McCain for President!!!

A lot of my favorite conservatives are acting like improvised explosive devices because John McCain will apparently be the Republican nominee for president. Some are threatening to sit out the election--or even vote for Hillary--because of their hatred for McCain. To paraphrase a 1795 protest against John Jay, they want to

Damn John McCain! Damn everyone that won't damn John McCain! Damn every one that won't put lights in his window and sit up all night damning John McCain!

Two months ago I might have felt the same way about sitting out this election, but as the big day looms I'm returning to my senses. The big difference here is that in 1795 we weren't threatened with a Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama presidency. With Barack or Hillary there's no hope they'd get anything right, and in 4 or (God forbid) 8 years they could damage the country permanently.

McCain isn't always wrong, and there's at least some chance that he'll do a few good, big, things...like veto some spending bills, nominate decent judges, cut taxes, and (most importantly) win the war.

John McCain isn't the problem. The problem is a primary system that eliminates most of the candidates before most of the country even gets a chance to vote. I'd like to see a class-action lawsuit against Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida. By moving their primaries ahead of "Super Tuesday" they effectively disenfranchised over 90% of the population. Now that's who we need to be mad at! Where's a good lawyer when you need one?
