If this is true, you'll be able to watch what little support I have not so much evaporate as sublimate.

You know what? McCain is the right's Kerry. Kerry was a shitty little politician not worthy of election to head crap bagger at the local zoo, much less POTUS, but for the left, at least he wasn't BUSH!!!!! It was the only thing they had positive to say about him.

That's the only thing I can say about McCain - he's not Obama. McCain is bad on freedom of speech? Hey, he's not Obama! Not exactly solid on the gun issue? He's still not Obama! Immigration pisses you off? Hey, Obama would be worse!

On the gun rights front, we have a definite negative with Barack Apply Directly To Forehead Obama and who knows what from Johnny "Squishy McShitSandwich" McCain. I'm afraid he'll get wind that us gun owners aren't exactly excited about him and then he'll get all pissy and try to enact the McCain / Pelosi Act that bans any weapons that have a capacity of 1 round or more.

I admit, Romney isn't awful, but he's not great by any stretch of the imagination. He's a RINO and McCain needs a strong conservative as his pick if he wants any support.

However, I'm still of the mind set that if McCain is going to lose, he needs to loose Dukakis / McGovern big. A close race will tell the GOP that Crappy McCrapkins just wasn't crappy enough. A solid loss should send a message that we need something much better or we're staying home.

*sigh*
