Robert Stone: "If McCain wins..."

"If McCain wins, history is here big time, scythe, sackcloth and all four horsemen.”

As for the 2008 presidential election, Stone had this to say: “If, in this campaign, illusion triumphs over what we must believe is reality, we will fail as a nation. There is, after all, a point of no return. If McCain wins, history is here big time, scythe, sackcloth and all four horsemen.”

4. Impeachophobia Is How We "Fail As A Nation"

Who presides over the next 4 years of beltway bickering pales when compared to the display of depraved indifference to the treaties our greater generations fought and died to forge.

Stone also said: "This is crime beyond metaphor, violent crime deserving of punishment." And that's just the Iraq part.

But still our DC-Dem "leadership" keeps even simple objection/accusation -- and thus our patriotic values and Constitutional demands -- off the table.
