Like they did with Reagan vs Jimmy Carter.

I think this fanatical group of narcissistic megalomaniacs are watching their own demise on the horizon and it is heading right towards them. Four years without a messiah to thrust their adulation upon and they will be irrelevant and unemployed.

I've been pondering this lately. I think it's a crap shoot either way. There are so many variables in this election, it's hard to predict at this point.

I don't see much difference between McCain's policies and Clinton's.

Its hard to tell which Dem voters are going to win the primaries. The sexists that will vote against Hillary for no other reason than her being a woman, or the racists who will vote against Obama for no other reason than him being black.

I guess this primary season will tell us who the Dems have more of: sexists or racists.


As for McCain, I never needed talk radio to tell me he is a piece of sh*t. The guy is a habitual liar and has the audacity to call his campaign the "straight talk express". That tells you how smart he thinks his supporters are, and actually is quiet telling of how smart they are. McCain has been one of the worst liars in the Republican party in the last decade, and he has had some stiff competition.

I hope he loses by a LANDSLIDE.

I was referring to a McCain/Obama ticket vs a McCain/Hillary when I suggested that the racist element would be more galvanizing against Obama than the Hillary haters against Hillary. So Hillary has a better chance of prevailing.

McCain's policies are that of the right wing. And this includes illegal immigration as the real base, big business wants things to stay as is.

A Hillary adminsitration would really mess up the USA and would cause the GOP to go into a frenzy (much like the far left is now against Bush). She will be a disaster (Obama would be a calamity, much worst than Hillary, specially since he would probably tear down the US-Mexico fence - whatever we have there now and allow Iran to manufacture and deliver a nuke into US soil via terrorists< so Obama would be 100x worse)... but Hillary will screw up the country, lots of her corruption schemes will be exposed, it will damaged the DEms and cause the GOp to raise up like never before.

So GOP-leaning people (including myself) are praying to God Hillary will give McCain a kick in the ass like McCain deserve for all his corrupt dealins in DC for the last 25 years and will get the presidency. Then the GOP will go insane over her being in the White House and the GOP will re-take the Senate and the House in a flurry.

The GOP cannot afford to have a liberal like McCain, running a liberal adminsitration, tainting the name of conservatism. McCain is even MORE liberal version of Jorge Bush.

Let's HOPE Hillary wins and the GOP surges up and take sthe HOuse back. That way we can block the next McCain-kennedy amnesty and keep Hillary in check. Then in 2010 we re-take the US Senate and in 2012, we re-take Pennsylvania avenue from Hillary and keep the House in Conservative hands.

That is long-term strategy. Sometimes we have to lose to win in the end. But this strategy will pay off big time in the end. You will see.

I frankly think unless the conservatives can gain back the support of the moderates in the republican party they are looking at bad years ahead. That is why Romney is not the nominee and why they loss so many seats in the congress. The conservatives in the republican party cannot win the nomination on their own.It is the voters giving the conserative wing of the republican party the kick in the rear.
