It's the old saying again... be careful what you ask for, 'cause you might just get it (and a hell of a lot more than you bargained for). In politics more than anywhere else.
And yeah, you don't need to tell me... I know that if Obama wins, things could go awry just as much as they did during the Bush years. But I'll GLADLY take things going awry in a different direction--ANY direction--than the direction we're going right now (coughMcCaincough). Feel free to remind me of this in 4 years. I have no problem with that, come what may.

Yeah, a good friend of mine, a guy who voted Bush in 2000, changed his mind after Bush went into Iraq. He had nothing good to say about bush or the GOP (many Dems too) after that. I asked him right before the 04 election if he was voting for Bush again and he said "Yes, they got us in this shit hole, they're the ones that need to own it and get us out of it."
I don't think he's been too happy with what he wished for, in fact I know he hasn't been.
Of the many problems I have with McCain it's his position on the use of military force I disagree with the most. I listen him and it seems his answer to every problem is use military force. Someone once said (some thing to the effect of) "to the man with a large hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail." IMHO, McCain sees every problem as being solvable with a large military hammer. I think he's wrong and he's over judging the size of the hammer currently available.
