America is at a cross roads and the stakes are high, maybe even our lives.
Everyone wants peace. But many Democrats don't seem to even acknowledge that we are at war with a brutal enemy that wants to destroy our freedoms and thrust the world back into the dark ages.
Clinton and Obama threaten to pull our troops away from foreign lands. That would almost certainly result in the fight focusing on our own homeland. Have the Democratic presidential wannabees already forgotten the 3,000 Americans killed by terrorists in New York City? A retreating military and a weak commander-in-chief pressed by socialist Berkeley/ACLU/MoveOn cells would embolden our enemies and encourage suicide bombers in our own malls.
Like it or not John McCain is the person the GOP has to work with this season. Huckabee and Paul are only delaying the inevitable and demonstrating their lack of party loyalty, and complete lack of statesmanship in a time of war. If they'd follow Romney's example and pull out immediately, the GOP could gear up early for the political fight of our lives.
If McCain picked Romney for his running mate it would appease most conservatives and talk show hosts (maybe not Ann Coulter :-) and unite the GOP. It could defuse concerns that McCain is weak on the economy, and that he's too old.
Maybe John McCain really is the best choice for this season after all.
At least he has proven his mettle during times of war...
