You have no idea who you are talking to, do you.... [Now I do. Thanks JB!]

Since you don't know it, I'll inform you. The primaries are over and we are down to two final choices. Every American must now choose between them, like it or not. My choice is clear, isn't it?

But before the primaries ended, here are a few JB columns on McCain...

Oh Great! Dumb, Dumber and Spineless on Tour
MichNews.com-- When I first heard former Senator Phil Gramm refer to our economic condition as a “mental crisis” and suggest that too many Americans had become “whiners,” my immediate reaction was, too bad too few Americans would comprehend the hard truth he just set before them…

Making the Best Of a Bad Election Cycle
MichNews.com-- This day has been a long time coming. We’ve arrived at a time in American history when we have reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of political talent and no decent American truly qualified to lead the free world would ever even consider entering the cesspool of national politics.

Principles vs. Politics: Conservatives in the Crossfire
MichNews.com-- At a time when American voters have been sold the bill of goods known as “Democratic Socialism,” the nanny states promise to solve personal problems at the expense of freedom and liberty for the 50% of Americans who pay taxes, conservatives find themselves caught in the crossfire of a centrist campaign season.

The True American Maverick
MichNews.com-- When American voters think of the term “maverick,” they often think of Senator John McCain because McCain has spent decades associating himself with that term. To some degree, McCain is right to call himself a “maverick,” having independently departed the company of both his party and his constituents on many issues over the years.

Meet the Anti-Candidates: Nobody's FOR Them!
MichNews.com-- No matter which candidates campaign speech you attend, you will hear only how they oppose the positions of the other two candidates. You will hear very little about why you should support them, only why you should not support the others. That’s because there is little reason to vote for any of them.

Is the RNC Getting the Message Yet?
MichNews.com-- The RNC is not the GOP. It’s only a collective national action committee for the state Republican parties, a fund raising and steering committee. Yet for far too long, the RNC has assumed increasing power over the political process to the detriment of the party. Voter complacency and apathy towards the political process has left control of the party in the hands of a few centrist party elites and conservative voters have lost faith in their own party as a result.

To Be Conservative In America
MichNews.com-- America’s conservative party, the Grand Ole Republican Party, is so fractured down ideological lines that it has not been able to advance a real conservative candidate in a quarter century, since Reagan won re-election twenty four years ago in 1984.

Don't Waterboard Me Bro!
MichNews.com-- Remember the little college dimwit who wrongly thought he had a right to speak freely at a John Kerry event last year, screaming “don’t taze me bro! – don’t taze me bro!” as police officers proceeded to taze him to the ground and remove him from the Kerry event? Apparently, Democrats are more offended by a voice of opposition at their campaign stops than by known Islamic terrorists whom they would never allow to be “tazed” or even “waterboarded.”

McCain Works Well Across the Aisle But Can He Work With Republicans?
MichNews.com-- Being best buds with the likes of Teddy Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Hussein Obama might buy you a few Independent votes, but it won’t do much for your core conservative constituents. McCain’s buds think Joe Lieberman is a right-wing extremist and worked to defeat his re-election.

Is the RNC Trying to Destroy the GOP?
MichNews.com-- Whether the RNC is trying to destroy the GOP or not, it’s clear that they couldn’t do a better job of destroying it, no matter how hard they try. Making John McCain the RNC nominee is the most certain way to lose the 2008 election. But even if McCain could actually win in November, almost a numerical impossibility by the way, many conservatives have already predicted that even a McCain victory would be the end of the GOP as we know it. What’s the RNC thinking?

Conservatives have already lost the White House. What's their next move?
MichNews.com-- In his speech to CPAC moments ago, Republican nominee John McCain called himself a life-long conservative. But that’s not what life-long conservatives call him. His speech writers included all the right conservative buzz words. But most of them are at odds with his past performance. So, what now?

Clinton, McCain, Obama & the MSM
MichNews.com-- Not long ago, the idea that any of these three candidates could ever be President of the United States would have seemed insane to most Americans. Even now, most American’s are scratching their heads in disbelief and asking all of their friends, “Did you vote for them? – No, did you? – No, how about you? – No… Then who in the hell is voting for these people?”

How the Republican Party Committed National Suicide
MichNews.com-- Republicans no longer control the Republican Party and as a result, they can not advance a truly Republican candidate though the current liberal leaning primary process. By the time 99 percent of Republicans get a chance to vote in the primaries, all real Republicans have already been eliminated from the race. Lesser evil choices are all that remain by Super Tuesday…?

Time for some REAL Straight Talk: John McCain is an Outright Liar!
MichNews.com-- Republicans had better rush to come to grips with the reality that all of our smart options for the 2008 election cycle are already off the table. Unlike past elections, Republicans actually had two very strong conservatives to unite behind in the 2008 primaries, Thompson and Hunter, and they failed to unite behind either of them.

Need I keep going? I challenge you to read them all and accuse me of not covering McCain again...

We all have the same choice now... a less than perfect candidate, or a far from perfect candidate/

An Obama presidency WOULD serve the Republican Party very well. It WOULD force many Americans back to the right and that WOULD be in the best interest of the Republican Party.

However, that assumes that the nation can survive four years of Obama. That's a heavily flawed assumption today.

Next time, take a few minutes to know who you are talking to and what you are talking about before making a fool of yourself.

Thanks again for writing!

Is this an automatically generated message? Because you don't respond to anything that I said directly.

Obviously I know that McCain is the only other choice. Are you as familiar with the details of HIS policy agenda as you are with Obama's?

I would love to see a critical rundown of McCain's inconsistencies. Then I could actually tell if 1) you know what you're talking about, 2) you're interested in political discourse rather than the biased bashing of a single candidate, and 3) willing to look analytically at the candidate whom you have clearly chosen.

I dare you.

Are you not aware of the very real fact that one of two men will be the next president, Obama or McCain?

At all times in history, we have faced the political choice between the less than perfect and the far from perfect. That's because there is no such thing as a perfect candidate.

Since Obama and his press corps won't tell the voters who or what he really is, someone must, so I did.

McCain is the less than perfect candidate in this race who has a chance to win. Obama is the far from perfect candidate who also has a chance to win.

No other less than perfect candidate has any chance at all of keeping the far from perfect candidate out of the most powerful office in the free world.

McCain is the ONLY viable alternative to Obama. If you don't already know this, I can't help you. You have a learning disability.

I'm all for meticulous critique of the many unattainable everybody-gets-everything policy stances commonly taken in today's (and yesterday's and every moment of history's) political scene.

But bashing Obama only gets us so far.

What's your alternative? McCain? Because a resoundingly stagnant conservative like yourself can't see much promise there. If ever there was a socialist Republican, it's him.

So...do we go with the conservative masking as a Democrat, or vote for the total anomaly masking as an aisle-crossing conservative? (And really, the contemporary Republican party calling itself conservative is already laughable.)

Criticism like this is a waste of your time and ours. Without offering an alternative, your intellectual gesticulating is just so much hot air.

You should be ashamed. Some people might actually take you seriously.
