Enough is enough. I will do nothing to help the McCain-Palin ticket win this election. “McCain-Palin. We’ll Wreck the Country Slower.” is not a slogan to make me tap my precarious financial resources.

Since my parents were destitute non-English-speaking refugees, I am strongly pro-immigration, but I am even more strongly for the rule of law[1]. A nation that pursues fiascos like the War on Drugs but refuses to enforce its borders…well, I’ll just say the USA’s prospects looked bleak in the 1970s but that time we experienced a renaissance…

Note to McCain: Duke Cunningham was a war hero too.

Afaic this is now beside the point, but what in heaven is McCain thinking?

[1] Strongly as I am for the rule of law, I am just as strongly against a metastasized legal code choked with crimes which are little more than malfeasances of which an influential pressure group disapproves.

Indeed.

I live in an uncontested state and donations are my primary option for influencing the election.

McCain’s Palin pick made me concede that Obama was clearly the greater evil. Then, as my hand was reaching for my credit card (so to speak), I was nonplussed by McCain’s erratic behavior when the financial crisis hit.

By keeping my wallet closed, in effect I am acquiescing to an Obama presidency. The later I change my mind about keeping my wallet closed, the less chance I will have to affect the outcome.

Nevertheless, I remain undecided.

I wonder if there is a significant group of would-be McCain supporters in my position.
