McCain’s Desperate & Flawed Argument about too Many Democrats

In the final countdown to election day, John McCain has been saying that too many democrats would be bad for our country. It is an argument filled with contradictions.

When Bill Clinton was elected there was a democratic majority in congress: FOR ONE YEAR. If we elect John McCain we are stuck with him a minimum of four years. If the American people are dissatisfied after Barack Obama’s first year they can turn the congress around.

Interestingly, republicans running for the house and senate are using the same argument! Therefore, if we take this argument seriously we would have four more years of Republican rule.

Finally, and this is very important, the president’s role in submitting nominees to the supreme court has a major impact on who is chosen. Members of the supreme court are chosen for life! Currently the supreme court is balanced towards Republican leaning justices. As Colin Powell said during his endorsement of Barack Obama: “I would have difficulty with two more conservative appointments to the Supreme Court, but that's what we'd be looking at in a McCain administration.”
