McCainicide

avatar

Some of us may be suffering from temporary insanity caused by prolonged electile disruption. 
A group of democratic voters are threatening to vote for 4 more years of Bush if their preferred Dem does not get the nomination.  One wonders how much the right wing managed to engineer this effort for Dems to self destruct. (Its so easy to do).

What does it say about your candidate?
IF a disgruntled Democrat would prefer to vote for John McCain (R) rather than for the democratic nominee, then that  Dem's preferred candidate can't be too good.

To those threatening McCainicide: Splash cold water on your face and ask yourself this question:

Does candidate A (your preferred Democratic candidate for President) = John McCain(R)?

Does candidate A (your preferred Democratic candidate for President) want you to support John McCain if your preferred candidate does not win the Democratic Nomination?

Please know that if candidate A really would prefer a republican in the White House if "A" didn't get the nod, then candidate A is tragically flawed, selfish, and cares nothing about our country nor our troops stuck in Iraqmire. 

And if you go along with that, then the blood of the soldiers and innocents in Iraq is on your hands.

This election is not about our petty selfish demands, it is about getting our troops home and reclaiming the America we once knew.   Petty selfish rivalries carried that go to the extent of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face = murder of innocents from 2008 - 2012 and more.

Stop it.  This is not a fracking game. Its life or death, and McCain = more of the same insane.

We can't indulge in childishness, selfishness or foolishness right now.  Think of others besides yourself, who have to live with the consequences of such madness(McCainicide)

Sometimes you can judge a post by its comments--whether it fosters thoughtful discussion, or whether it brings out the crazies, etc. This post, however, should be judged by the absence of comments: it is so well-argued and on point that, 16 hours after posting, there are zero petty objections, snarky take-downs, or actual arguments to the contrary. Well done, Laura.

Oh, well, durn it, we can't have that! Someone's *got* to make a petty objection, so I guess it's gotta be me.

Technically "McCainicide" = doing McCain in.

What you're talking about is "McCainery," which should be pronounced to rhyme with "chicanery."

McCainostomy?
