i looked back and it's been over a year since i have written. my political emotions have bounced between momentary despair and sustained apathy. my party has broken faith with me and with all other conservatives. now they offer McCain as our savior. he reaches out to us with a well greased hand.
even so, if he is the nominee, i'll suck it up and vote for him. why? because of the supreme court. there will most likely be two seats up. while a president may serve for 8 years, a supremes are for life. the impact of the court will live on long after the administration is gone. there are also all the other federal judges that will be appointed.
this is a painful decision. it is a betrayal of my own beliefs. still, i must believe that those McCain would put forward would be better for the future of the country, than those Obama or Clinton would nominate.
....and that's all i have to say about that.
