No dice. I’m done with the GOP.

One reason not to. If the RINO is not defeated, they will only multiply.
Even if he had the conservatives, there is a good chance McCain will not win.
"Ted? Hey, how are ya? Listen, I justed talked to Ginsburg. Yeah, she's stepping down. So, look, I want to avoid any trouble. I'd like to come up with a nominee that you guys won't block. Nobody wants a fight, eh? So, do you have any recommendations? Really? I thought you were on the outs with him. Oh. Well, do you think he'd want it? Okay. And you don't think Hillary would mind if I put him on the bench? Okay. Done deal."
No thanks.
“At the same time, Romney and Huckabee ought to begin to note Senator McCain’s lead and urge their followers to recognize that if they cannot come back they and their followers will have to come in and join the party’s eventual nominee”....
And this is EXACTLY what is wrong with the repubican party today. I will NEVER get behind crazy lib mclame, sheeple I am not. I would rather see the republican party destroyed before I help turn it into another lib party.
Perhaps the only way to clean up the party is to start from nothing and build up. Repubicans need not apply.
I would have voted for Romney maybe, a big maybe. I will not vote for McCain and I am to the point I do not care. They are all liars and there is no difference between the 2 dims and McCain.
I am done with presidential politics until 2012 and the GOP forever unless it gets righted. I am focusing on local and state elections.
As a Fredhead highly disappointed that McCain (a few months ago a 7% bottom of the list candidate) is going to be the nominee, I have to ask myself what can McCain do to sweeten the deal? What could he do to get the Fredheads and the Romney supporters to get out and vote for him in November? It would have to be a brilliant VP choice, and I mean brilliant.
Who on the ticket would FIRE UP Conservatives? Who on the ticket would generate discussion for weeks?
The answer: A woman, and what a woman. - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
Here’s a cheerful counter:
One additional reason to not support McCain: He hasn’t dropped out & endorsed a dark horse candidate for the good of the country - instead he’s focused on his ambition instead of admitting that he has split the GOP.
The only honorable thing he can do at this point is drop out, endorse a dark horse candidate who is strongly conservative, and sincerely apologize for McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, and the Gang of 14 Betrayal. If he doesn’t, he puts his ego above the good of the country.
However, if OHitlery is elected, the RINOs in congress may actually stand up against nominations, proposals, etc. If McQueeg is elected, he gets whatever he wants from the linguini-spined Capitol.
The only reason to vote for McCain is to help the GOP get more liberal. Because that is all it will accomplish.
Too bad Hewitt destroyed all his credibility over the past year. I fear that all we’ll get from McCain are a bunch of Souter clones, handpicked to uphold CFR, Immigration Reform, etc.
McCain is 72. He has just as good a chance as leaving us as any of these.
McCain wants to continue reaching across the aisle to compromise with libs. I do not. I want to shove conservative principles down their throats. McCain will not give us that. The GOP is done.
McCainiacs are retarded.
Too late. I no longer have any faith or trust in the GOP.
The principles have been tossed. This party is no longer conservative in the slightest. I won’t be frog marched to the polls assuming anything positive from the GOP anymore.
Judges would be a good reason — if I trusted McCain to pick conservative judges. But he won’t.
