More than a week out, finally taking some time to parse Senator McCain's remarks at CPAC, I run across this oddity:
"This election is going to be about big things, not small things."
Wow!
Are we to take from this that eliminating America's borders, cancelling the First Amendment at election time, and putting an end to American affluence by turning energy decisions (and thereby the economy) over to global warming hysterics are small things? Trifles? Whatever, then, would the big things be?
This kind of "moderate" approach may convince some voters. But not many who are to the right of George Soros.
