You sure about that? You're sure you would really want McCain in office? Absolutely positive?

Are you sure you want his SCOTUS appointments? Justice Ginsberg is 75. Kennedy is 71. Stevens is 81. Souter is 68. Breyer is 69. Thats the liberal and swing bloc of the SCOTUS. Compare that to the conservative bloc: Roberts - 53, Scalia - 72, Thomas - 59, Alito - 57. Guaranteed the next POTUS will appoint at least 2 justices, and the most likely retirees come from the liberal and swing bloc. Wo do you want deciding who those justices' replacements will be? One of the reasons that the SCOTUS has been so good the last 25 years is that it has had this balanced make-up. Throw that balance off and it's Katy bar the door. Wiretapping? Done. Overturn Roe v. Wade? Done. Limitations on Miranda? Done. Suspension of Habeas? Done. Reverse Kitzmiller? Done.

Are you sure you want to indefinitely spend $341,000,000 PER DAY on a war with no end?

Are you sure you want to keep seeing your friends and neighbors lose their jobs to overseas outsourcing?

Are you sure you want to see the continuance of the same economic and (non)regulatory policies that have our economy in the worst meltdown of a generation?

You subscribe to Clinton's policies, yet are willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater because you're SCARED? Look, we all watched 9/11 happen. But if you think Clinton, McCain or Obama or anyone else for that matter can keep it from happening again, you are tragicly mistaken. If they want to hit us, they will. It's as simple as that. I for one believe that they do not, in fact, want to hit us again simply because they have had pretty much an open door to do so and haven't. I think they're perfectly happy to sit back in their cave and watch us legislate our freedoms away and jump at our own shadows like some namby-pamby candy-asses. They wanted to alter the face of America forever, and that's exactly what they accomplished. They don't need to hit us again, because we are doing far more damage to our country as a reaction to 9/11 than they could ever inflict upon is.

In reality, the best way to prevent another terrorist attack is to look at our foreign policy vis a vis the Middle East, and quit shoving our policies up their asses. McCain is not likely to do that.

Are you sure you want to vote for all of that simply because you have bought in to the Clinton machine's mis-charactarizations of Obama? Before you pull that lever or push that button or touch that screen, think long and hard about the ramifications of that vote.
