Where would we be today if McCain and Palin has won?

The way they are talking these days i believe they'd have us in a whole bunch of wars in the middle east including one with Russia that could very well be a third WW.
Recent rhetoric from both of these two have me convinced they are nuts.

Just for the simple act of keeping Mr. Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran from coming anywhere near the office.

"We're all Egyptians now! We're all Syrians now! We're all Ukrainians now! We're all South Sudanese now! We're still all Iraqis and Afghans for 100 years!!" with a shrinking domestic budget to balloon the military/CIA budget.

I know it gets cold as shit in Canada, but I would get extra sweaters, quilts, blankets, thermal underwear, etc. and have a good time in Montreal, waiting for the madness to die down before moving back to the US.

That said, I'm so thankful America did the right thing and kept the old man and little miss nutjob away from the White House!

Princess Dumbass' handlers would have found some way to give ol' Johnny boy the Trotsky treatment in about 2010. The parade of horribles following from this barely warrants thinking about and would scare Stephen King out of his wits.

There's not much stress in going on television week after week to trash anything and everything Obama does.
