I’m a conservative which means I’m a realist. I need someone with the guts to call it straight without any BS. When I go to the doctor, I don’t need him to tell me what I want to hear. Sorry, Jennifer. I need the truth.
A I don’t need to be coddled and I don’t need sugar coating. And I don’t need someone insulting my intelligence, telling me McCain is going to “come back”. This isn’t a 9th inning rally. This isn’t a game. This is real life.
Look at the polls people. We can insist they’re all lying. Well, what about Fox? Are they lying too? McCain is losing in so many Bush states. Does anyone expect him to come back and win them all, right across the board? It’s crazy.
And it’s not just the polls. My friends and family who voted for Bush both times, are now about 50-50 for BHO over McCain. My friends at work now make “Palin Jokes”. People were laughing at me for insisting that McCain would win, even three or four weeks ago.
It feels to me like ‘92, when lots of people I knew were announcing plans to vote for Clinton. I was shocked. It was like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. This year, it seems even worse.
It’s time to focus on the future. Let’s get Congress back in 2010. I’ll vote for McCain, of course, but I’m not in fantasy land. If you don’t believe me, look at this. It’s not pretty:
