The Lesser of 2 Evils

It would seem that we are at an impasse.

I have a question. . .

What would happen, hypothetically speaking of course, if John McCain were to suddenly drop dead of a heart attack or something.

Would the nomination automatically go to runner-up Mitt Romney?

Deep, deep sigh.

As I slumped to my knees this morning, after listening to the heaven-sent Glenn Beck program, I realized that we are indeed in some serious trouble. This country faces an unheard of dilemma. Not since the Revolutionary War era have we been in a position like this. (Am I wrong? Wasn't there always one good candidate?) After some thought, I realized that we now have 2 options. (Assuming, of course, that Mitt Romney comes in second place. . .)

Well okay, I guess one option would be to vote for one of the socialists still battling for the number one spot on the other side. . . Unthinkable.

That being said, as I see it. . .

We can band together as conservatives, Republicans, people of all faiths who still hold on to those antiquated things known as values, show up on election day, vote for a straight Republican ticket, and save Congress. A worthy, necessary mission. . .

or. . .

We can sit home and do nothing, have no say, no influence at all, and let our country be eaten up from the inside out, infiltrated by an organized evil, the caliber of which has never been encountered, has been heretofore unknown to the United States of America. (As if there weren't enough people outside our borders who wanted/were trying to destroy us. . . )

In the history of our country, we have never before been threatened like this.

What to do. I think the choice is . . . fairly. . clear, although excruciatingly difficult.

We need to give careful thought, careful consideration to the intended meaning of the phrase "United We Stand."

Stand for what? What do we stand for? What do we stand against?

Food for thought.

My husband pointed out that I'd forgotten a third option.

Canada.

: )

He said his Spanish isn't all that good, so he wouldn't want to go in the direction of . . Texas. : )

This is still the promised land, right? I'm thinkin' so. . . This is still the land of the free and the home of the brave, ain't it?

We'll see.
