I know what I won't do - and that's vote for McCain. Some may say, but that means Hillary or Obama will win! Maybe it's time for conservatives to wander in the wilderness and get their bearings back. But I will not vote for a "renegade" Republican. I am a conservative that the Republican party and McCain have abandoned.

Voting for just the lesser of 2 evils, and a contest that only the Drive-bys want turns me off politically. I'm 62 years old, and this may turn into the first election where I may not show up at the polls in November.

I can respect that decision, but before you make that final. Please consider the troops in war zones. They deserve the best Commander possible. A Democrat can’t provide that for them. If they weren’t deployed I’d be all for the wilderness path. However you decide..best wishes.

At least go third party - I may end up there myself. If enough of us do, maybe someone will take notice.

If the DNC and the MSM manage to create a REAL recession, and a demo wins the WH, it wont be pretty. Never has.

I greatly and yet sadly agree with your conclusion and if I don’t show up or write in Fred’s name anyway it will also be the first election in 40 years that I haven’t voted.

And the Supreme Court will take all our rights away, or do you think Hillary will put strict constuctionists on the Court?

I am a young buck at 55 but may I suggest this election is not about the party. It is about the nation. If you are willing to turn this nation over to neo-communist Democrats I am truly sad for you. The lessor of two evils is still the LESSOR of two evils. Vote! Buy time until we can win. Regardless of whom is nominated I will never allow my vote or lack of action turn this nation over to the dims. Start showing some of the wisdom that 62 years have given you.
