heads up, conservatives

Vox speaketh the truth:

If you can't get a republican Republican, then let the Democrats pillage and burn for four years. That way you've at least got a chance of putting things back in order; as both Bushes have proved, all electing a democratic Republican president accomplishes is to ensure that the government pillaging is followed by even more pillaging. If you're going to have democrat-style rule anyhow, let the Democrats take the responsibility for it. It's true that one shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. But John McCain is not good and the perfect should always be the enemy of the bad.

Key thought there: IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE DEMOCRAT-STYLE RULE ANYHOW, LET THE DEMOCRATS TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. He's right, and that's one of the simplest yet best defenses I've seen of why a Democrap is actually more desirable than a RINO. At least one will call himself what he is and thus provide fair warning; the other will claim to be something he's obviously not and will successfully dupe a part of the population into thinking he's their friend.

So...go Obama? Not quite, but he's preferable to McAmnesty.

Disclaimer: this train of logic does not apply if a wicked witch so evil as Billary should become the other option. Let even the bad always be the enemy of the absolute, boundless, unfathomable evil.
