One may wonder why, with the continuously underwhelming performance of Sarah Palin, I have not given up support for John McCain and endorsed Barack Obama. I don't really know who would wonder this; I'm just another fish in the sea so it isn't like my endorsement matters anyway, but, if someone does wonder this, not the least of which myself, here is the answer:
Over the past week, there were a few people within the so-called conservative movement who jumped ship, mostly because of Sarah Palin. She is not an intellectual, she is not a populist, she has less political philosophy than Mike Huckabee and no more experience than John Edwards and Barack Obama. But, on the other hand, she's running for vice-president, not president, and you have to think of the man who is running for president: John McCain.
John McCain is not a good man, but he is a great one. He is a hero in the Achillean sense of the term; who else could have spent eight years in a rathole, refusing to sign anti-American propaganda while having his bones re-broken? Since Barack Obama wouldn't leave a church to avoid this rhetoric, I doubt that he would have stayed in a prison cell to do so. But what has become of this nation that we value honor so little and reputation so much?

Mr. Junglecat,
Why are you silent on Smilin' Joe Biden's pathetic performance? And where is he? The man's face should be on milk cartons.
"Have you seen this VP candidate?"
Best guess - bound and gaged in a basement in Chicago, next to that senile coot Murtha.
Hi Mr. Frank,
I've been off the air for awhile, but, yes, Joe Biden is a moron. That doesn't mean that Republicans shouldn't do the best they can to find the best VP candidate available for their own party. Best wishes.
