My friend Syrin contends that John McCain is the only option this year because he would surround himself with fiscally sound cabinet members.She asks what choice do we have? That my be true-BUT...

 

Syrin, The choice is to throw all the bums out! Conventional wisdom,which I subscribed to previously, suggests that we once again vote for the candidate who will do the least harm. McCain is responsible for McCain-Feingold (which blatantly violated the first amendment) as well as his incredible ignorance of illegal immigration (this may simply have been pandering to the home state voters).He has been part of the problem for a very long time and his version of reaching across the aisle is surrendering to the loathsome liberals.His seeming reluctance to appeal to the republican base (whoever that is) places him in a very percarious position. I agree that he would be infinitely better fiscally than Obama,but, what does that mean to the victims (excuse me that should be taxpayers and citizens) of the bloated federal government? I have not heard him speak of decreasing the size of the beast,which is ultimately what needs to be done. What good does it do to waste money on social programs versus wasting the same amount on the "Patriot Act"? The pain we will feel after this election presents a rare opportunity to establish the viable third or even fourth political party this country so desperately needs.
