Reasons to vote for McCain 


Regular TigerHawk commenter Georgfelis has come up with reasons to vote for John McCain, notwithstanding his unhappiness with the available choices. My favorite line:

The Democrat candidates believe we should fight Al-Qaeda everywhere in the world, unless we are already there, in which case we should leave.

Bizarrely true.

UPDATE: More along the same lines, only wittier and with bad words, here.

Personally, there is much I like about John McCain. Yes, he has a disturbing regulatory bent, but it is nothing compared to Barack Obama's.

I think we should all just vote for Obama and see how truly f@@cked up we can get this country.

Clearly, voting for any of these candidates will result in the same chaos, but Barrack is the climax of the insanity.

Georgefelis, should have also listed that if McCain is President, Mr. Obama likes to call it George Bush's "third-term"; Which would still be one thousand times better then Jimmy Carter's "second term" if he were elected!

Great minds, etc...

I have been saying for years what Georgfelis said but with different words. I have called it "hypothetical heroism". Namely, the passionate willingness of so many to fight the good fight for democracy.... whereEVER the battle is NOT. Because, you see, in that fierce battle of NOTthere-zia, there is no collateral damage, no children or puppies are harmed, nothing bad takes place (only "good" war-fighting... stuff), no mistakes are made, and thus nothing that requires heavy-lifting, even if it is just the lifting of explaining to others why bad things are sometimes necessary.... none of that. Just a ferocious fight for justice that is in fact a fantasy.

Hypothetical heroism. The very moment the battle in that very place becomes real... forget it. They'll turn on a dime on the basis of "moral high ground".

A lefty foil of mine once said he would have justified attacking North Korea in the aftermath of 9/11, since they HAD wmd, and obviously Iraq did not, lies lies lies, yadda yadda. This from the "no link, no link, no link between Al Qeada and Iraq", etc crowd. Yeppers, sure. I'll buy that.

Wherever the battle against injustice and tyranny is not, they are gung-ho-yeah. Where it is, forget it.

Gosh that must feel good.

Bizarrely true.

Hmm, I don't think so: neither Obama nor Clinton support leaving Afghanistan.

Yet.

Thanks for the post. I've blogged McCain all along, cognizant of his liabilities. He's turning out to be a great candidate against the crazed lefties, and especially Obama.
