Okay, so we all knew the
moment John McCain was nominated the left-wing praise chorus was
going to have an epiphany and realize the
maverick was actually
ex-maverick, worse than
Bush (TM). Conservatives
understand, better than many would like to, the need to reconsider
McCain. Leave it to a DailyKos poster--while making the important
point that McCain and pals do not belong directly involved in the
Georgian conflict, no less--to
cap off salience with a
big dollop of stupid:
Take all the worst things
about the Bush administration, double them, then add Joe Lieberman.
A McCain administration would be the presidential equivalent of a
slasher flick.
So you mean his opponents
will be running away from him like a bunch of drunk, screaming
teenage girls? Look, the wars aside, compassionate
conservatism has been a gift to statism
and, thus, the left-wing. A gift. In all likelihood,
maverick
conservatism--holding the line
somewhat on pork barrel spending, regulating the hell out of
everything else as a sacrifice to Earth Mother or A Cause Greater
Than Oneself--will be like Christmas morning.
Of
course Obama would be better for
the left, but even the slightest bit of perspective with regard to
the challenger evades them so fully it is at time shocking.
