This defeatist, sour grapes talk among Republicans who aren't satisfied with Senator McCain is silly. Look around you. Reach out and touch the table in front of you. Touch the wall. If you fantasize that you can walk through that wall, you'll just bump into it. That's the real world that you have to live with. Likewise, Sen. McCain is your Republican candidate for President. That's also the real world you have to live with. If you vote for anyone other than him, you're helping Barack Obama get elected President. That's another part of your real world. In your fantasy world, you can vote for Bob Barr, or some other interloper, and, if you think you're making a statement or doing anything meaningful, you're only kidding yourself.

In your fantasy world, you might think Sen. McCain is going to ruin this country, but in my lifetime, in the real world, the only two presidents who have come close to ruining it were Pres. Lyndon Johnson and Pres. Jimmy Carter, and the country was so strong that it bounced back from both of them. In the real world, this country is capable of surviving a John McCain. The question you have to ask yourselves is, how much damage can Barack Obama do? In the real world, those are your only choices - Barack Obama or John McCain.

The Democrats are probably going to heal the wounds left by their quarrelsome primary election, and we'd better get busy doing the same thing.
