You have no idea what elections are for. I suggest getting a lesson in civics.

Elections are there for voters to vote for a candidate that most closely matches the ideals, policies, and values of that voter. End of story.

And if you don’t do this, your vote is wasted - as you will have voted for a candidate that *DOESN’T* represent you.

Which rulebook in the constitution tells us that this has to be the case ?

If by "most closely matches", you mean which of the two most likely to win more closely matches a conservatives' ideals and policies, then I'd say McCain meets the criteria.

It may not be 100%, but heck, it meets the "more closely matches" criteria. It's better than close to zero and taking a chance on the destruction of your country for the next 4 years.

So what you're saying is that instead of bending over and grabbing your ankles you should bend over and grab your knees. Sorry that's just not my style.
