Endgame Viable

Funny stuff from United Conservatives’ Cargosquid, which I think generally exemplifies the Virginia conservative Republican sentiment about the upcoming presidential election: F**K YOU MCCAIN! An open letter to the McCain campaign. On the plus side, I admire his honesty. At least he’s not gritting his teeth and pretending to support the party nominee like most hardcore activists would.

In a larger sense I find this to be a hopeful sign for the nation. Because John McCain was elected as the Republican party nominee, it must mean that extreme Virginia conservatives are still a minority among Republicans, so we might not be as close to plunging back into the dark ages as Bob Marshall’s legislation makes it seem.

I also find it comforting that Rush Limbaugh’s audience apparently does understand that he’s just an entertainer. He (not to mention every other conservative talker) pushed hard to destroy McCain, but in the end, those pesky Republican voters made up their own minds without his help.
