Sitting out the election is "a super-crappy plan"
Rachel LucasRupert keeps telling me not to be so sure Obamas going to win in November. I keep telling Rupert he doesnt read enough conservative blogs and thus doesnt realize how many conservatives are so tired of getting poked in the eye and stabbed in the back that theyre gonna take their principles all the way to nowhere on Election Day by sitting home or voting third-party rather than voting for McCain, which is the ONLY WAY to keep Obama out of office. But theyre just Na. Ga. Da. (not gonna do it). Because they want to punish the Republican party. Teach them a lesson! Sorry, I know lots of you who feel that way are very wonderful people who I really do respect, but Ive said it before and Im saying it again: I think your plan is shitty. Youre going to get Obama elected, you realize that right? If youre cool with that, more power to you, but I for one will NOT welcome my new Dumbass Overlord Obama. . . . Were done with Bush now and were getting a new president. And its probably going to be Obama because so many people who otherwise could prevent that outcome simply wont do it because McCain doesnt say what they want him to say about whatever their pet cause is. It doesnt matter to these people that there is no Reagan waiting in the wings to take over after Obama pulls a Jimmy Carter on the country. I generally avoid saying much on this blog that I think would piss off or otherwise displease the bulk of my readers, but this is one case where I truly dont give a shit because I genuinely believe that anyone who disagrees with me on this is flat-out wrong. I believe it with all of my heart and soul and I believe that history backs me up on it, and that emotion should have no place in a decision like this. I dont give a flying fuck that McCain is more liberal than we would like and that hes basically an asshole, because Im operating with the awareness that hes still better than Obama by about a hundred orders of magnitude. I do not believe youre going to teach anyone a lesson by sitting this one out or writing in Fred Thompson or Sunny Lucas. I believe that way too many people are ignoring the forest for the trees and that in doing so, theyre going to have a hand in electing Obama. Some say thats fine because if the countrys going to be ruined, better that its ruined by a Democrat, and somehow magically well come up with a fantastic, real conservative in 4 years even though there is no one like that on the horizon and everyone knows it. Like I said, I think thats a super-crappy plan. Usually I dont want to be wrong but I sincerely hope I am on this one. Well find out in about four and a half years, and if Im still blogging then, Ill post a great big IM A GODDAMN MORON post and all of you who sat this one out or voted third-party can point and laugh at me as smugly as you deem fit. I actually hope that happens, but I dont think it will. Posted by: Mike 2008-05-28 |
