If Mccain would've won, we would still be waiting for an answer to the questions he was asked during the Presidential debate.

Other than the mandate in the healthcare law, McCain would've done everything Obama has done that I didn't like while also doing a bunch of new **** I don't like either.

Are you aware that McCain previously advocated the mandate?

RINO McCain = The End of the Republic.

Instead...
By electing anti-Constitution, Marxist slacker/weasel...
Who makes Jimmy Carter look like a Great Leader...
The American heartland will ruthlessly clean house in 2012...
And begin to restore the American Republic as envisioned 1776.

But this cannot happen without people going to jail...
A Corrupt Crony Capitalist State must be publicly cleansed...
The next President working with Congress...
Must have the balls to try VIPs for treason...
And Perry is laying the groundwork for this.

At some point McCain has previously advocated damn near every position there is.

I'm pretty certain I'm glad that at the very least DADT is now being examined for disposal. Speaking as a veteran, let every able bodied person who wants to join the military join, regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation. It's not like gays and lesbians aren't serving all ready. And regardless of what civilians think, some of them aren't particularly hiding it either (or not very well). I wasn't attached to special forces or infantry, but doubt very few service members I worked with would have given two ****s if another soldier was gay or not.

I'm sure some policies would be different had McCain won (no health care bill, at the very least) but it's hard to say that his policies specifically aimed at helping the economy would be better or worse.

Worst case scenario, the stress of being POTUS might have taken out his ticker and we'd be stuck with Palin as President.

I'm thinking Palin would have been willing to hit it if doing so would hasten the inevitable stroke/heart attack and elevate her power.

Feds would've still been on the warpath (especially with millions of dollars to seize).

1. There would be more angry Republicans in the US than Democrats.
2. Palin would get roasted Trump-style at White House Press Dinner.
3. The Tea Party would have a ****load less money going into it.
4. Seal Team Six mission wouldn't've been called in.
5. McCain would be dead.
