I used to love The Police when I was in high school and it brought back some good memories of the times when Reagan was president. As for Renee from VA-yeah girl, the DNC better clean out their trash. Lord knows they've got tons of it! But when you have no morals or virtures as much of the DNC lacks, what trash is there in your world? Okay, first off Michelle, thank you for posting that video.

I want to know where all the Dems are that are going to support a REAL Vietnam war hero in McCain. I mean, they tried to pump up, or should i say trump up, John Kerry as this hero we should vote for on that basis... Are they going to sing that tune again..... probably not huh.

And for those who say - McCain will at least appoint the right kind of judges - I'm not even convinced of that. Honestly I can't figure out which is the least of the remaining evils...a sleeper cell islamist, a strident socialist, or McCain. At least with the socialist, nothing should get done which is far preferable to the getting the wrong things done.

From what I noticed about the heavy hitters in the GOP they are all getting in line and marching in lockstep just like Democrats. We have approached a one party system made up of nothing but liberal sellouts. All I can think about during this election cycle is it reminds me of an episode from South Park. We are stuck with a choice between a sh*t sandwich or a douche bag for POTUS. I really am not happy with this "Hobson's Choice we have been handed.

I think it's being realistic. It doesn't matter if conservatives hold their nose and vote for McCain - he can't and won't win against either Hillary or Obama in November. If it's The Witch vs. McNasty, two unlikeable personalities on display, one of them the first woman and the other the oldest man to have a shot at the Presidency - one of them promising everything to everyone, the other trying to promise "Everything Lite" - Hillary wins. If it's The Magic Negro vs. the Cranky Old White Man, the young smooth Obama will make McCain appear, well, old and cranky - plus the voters get to make history by voting for the first "black" person for President. Remember that about 40% always vote DemocRAT, 40% always vote Republican - and it's the undecided 20% who make or break a candidate. And they may vote for one over the other for the most trivial of reasons. We have the worst choices all around for candidates in many decades. There isn't anyone good to vote for. That's just the way it is. Some people accuse me of being too pessimistic.

Illegal immigration, income redistribution to the poor, giving lip service (but little more) to the unborn, working with Democrats, -- one column that I read this morning recognized that they were similar, and tried to extrapolate from this the conclusion that we should support McCain. I conclude just the opposite, that we should not support McCain. McCain might even be worse -- if he was willing to run with Kerry in 2004, how committed can he be to supporting the fight against Muslim terrorists, and appointing good judges, even if the gang of 14 hadn't happened?
