Hank :
For those who want to sit out the election as a protest against McCain, I have an important reminder: There is a WAR on!
Are you willing to lose the war in order to show your displeasure at McCain? Are you? Beacause that is what will happen if you sit out the election and let Obama win.
John McCain was a big supporter, strategically, of Israel’s unilateral pullout from Gaza. This was one of the most disastrous policies any Western nation has pursued in this larger war and anyone who thought the Gaza disengagement was a good idea is not the sort of person I want strategizing for us. McCain has embraced other disastrous policies with regard to our own defense, which I find to be evidence of his failings as lead war strategizer. I do not trust McCain to handle the larger war in the correct way, at all. That is one of the major reasons I woudn’t vote for him in the Republican primary.
If Obama is the Dim Candidate, then I might feel compelled to vote for McCain, but it will only be by inches. Both of them will spell disaster for our fight in the larger war, just in different ways.
I have ZERO confidence in any of the potential candidates as regards the larger war. ZERO. That’s how I see it.
