Watching McCain during the last debates pander to those looking for home bailouts had me in fits for days.  His amateur socialism was no match for Dopey Hopey however, and those leeches on society KNEW who the professional Marxist was.

If you cannot define yourself clearly, the population is going to either take a chance on the enemy they know, or flip a freaking coin.

McCain lost because he is a mushy centrist.  No principles solidly held, and unable to advance conservative principles as a result.

You may be correct on the end of the country. The criminal enterprise that is the Obama administration is not going to let any one candidate gain sufficient strength without a serious attempt to undermine their character.  As I see it with Cain, they are quite effective in taking a man of good character and painting him with a brush of depravity.  Imagine what they would do with a Mitt, or Newt.

If Mitt is the guy we will face your nightmare of 4 more years with this wannabe potentate.  In fact, I am sure the constitution has been softened up enough that the 22nd amendment must surely be the next target.
