Yada yada yada. I won’t be doing any such thing. I voted for a conservative in the primary, I’ll find a conservative to vote for in the general, and I’ll be damned if I’ll apologize for it or complain about doing it.

[abigailsmybaby]

I’m not a Republican. I’m a conservative. I left the democrat party in ‘94 because I realized they were way to liberal for me. I didn’t leave that party just to be bullied into voting for your liberals.

[EverOnward]

I have a son in Iraq. I’ll be voting, you can be sure. And it will NOT be for McCain.

[Hazcat]

I’ve made an oath to turn off “conservative” radio talk show hosts who start lobbying for McCain. I don’t even want to listen to them prostitute themselves.

I know what you mean. It will be interesting to see who all pimps for McCain, radio, TV and politicians.

At least it will be a quick way to separate the "wheat from the chaff"!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

it might be worth looking at some of the people whose power and influence will be far more potent as a result of such pettiness. To wit:

Don't forget to mention the 20,000,000+ forevermore-'Rat-voting illegals we'll all get merrily rammed down our gullets in Year One of any theoretical Juan McShamnesty presidency. They should count for something too, by golly!

Oh... oh, dear. Did that spoil the narrative, just now?

Oopsie.

[EverOnward]

The Republican’s don’t understand that the “fear factor” won’t play with conservatives this election. They’ll have to try some other form of coersion to force us to vote for McCain. Best of luck.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

To suggest an entire party change its principles to accomodate a single meglomaniac is beyond anyting passing for reason.

"CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! CALM DOWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNN -- !!!"

Let's take a look at the author's first point. George Soros influence.

John McCain Gets Soros Cash

McCain/Soros by Rabbi Areyh Spero

Soros' "Reform" (an article about Soros‘ instrumental hand in McCain/Feingold)

So who gave Soros influence? Or should I say "sold?"

Here’s my best Oprah impersonation: “If you can perceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it!”

How’s that? ;)

Actually, it’s too early to quit. It’s always too early to quit! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I’ll add that for future Obama-Lama-Ding-Dong posts. Thank you! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

He might stroke out prior to November. He might drop out due to some manufactured scandal by The She Devil. Any number of things can happen, but I will NOT vote for a ‘Rat, and my not voting with my party is only going to quicken the death of America.

As a Vet, I can’t do that. Sorry. Do what you will. I’ll sleep peacefully. :)

The author doesn't get it. We're staying home because we're hoping these people will come to the forefront. The more extreme the better.

When appointing SC justices? That's my main concern.

[pookie18]

I didn’t leave that party just to be bullied into voting for your liberals.

My liberals? McCain was either my 5th or 6th choice...in 2000, I supported the "liberal" Alan Keyes before voting for W...don't make assumptions that you can't back up with fact...

[abigailsmybaby]

You’re pushing him now tho aren’t you.

[COBOL2Java]

When appointing SC justices? That's my main concern.

IIRC, the President doesn't appoint justices, he nominates them, with the advice and consent of the Senate. What kind of justices do you think McCain will nominate? He'll "reach out" to the Democrats to find "consensus" candidates, folks that the Senate Judiciary Committee would find acceptable. Oh, and of course, they'd have to pass a "Global Warming/Kyoto Protocol" litmus test. Who would be on McCain's short list? Hmmmm. I can think of a few!

[pookie18]

I posted 2 articles...some of which explain why he wouldn't be bad &/or better than a Dhimmi...he's the nominee...that's it. I was for Thompson & Hunter...then Rudy & Mitt...

I personally don't care what you do, but as long as you keep writing to me, I'll reply...If you want to keep this up indefinitely, bring it on...

[bootless]

The people , as a whole, must be allowed to suffer; and, thus , awaken.....quickly...while the ballot yet remains at our collective disposal! 25 more years of a slow slide....not good. Time for the shock of free-fall. No alternative I can see.

Two things surprise me. One, that no one has replied to this unacceptable "suggestion." The other is that anyone would have the temerity to volunteer my family and me the PRIVILEGE of being "allowed to suffer"!

Forum rules prevent me from saying what I am thinking right now. So, what I WILL say is: HELL NO! You do not have the right to offer anyone else but you up for wholesale suffering.

My God. This is NOT the FreeRepublic I had come to love and respect.

Oh and by the way. How is that pro-life?

[bootless]

have huge problems with McCain. But I am not about to let these people be in charge just so I can teach the country a lesson. [snip] And I also will not urinate on our troops. Once Hillama care is in place, its there to stay.

Thank you. McCain was about 7th out of 8 on my list (Ron Paul was last). But I will never allow the Clintons back in the White House, and I will never allow the most leftist senator in the White House either.

[bootless]

Then I expect you to STFU as that A-List starts to take apart our "Representative Republic" and replace it with a "Peoples Republic".

If you aren't part of the solution, you are a big part of the problem and I personally don't want to hear a peep out of you.

Amen.

[bootless]

Four years of leftist rule should reinvigorate conservatives. The Democrats are bound to overreach. Its bad but better than a generation under them.

Can we have your guarantee? Not they'll overreach - I know they will. I mean, can you guarantee it won't be a generation?

If not, I intend to fight to keep the Dems, er, MARXIST LEFT DEMOCRAT PARTY, out of the White House. They have no place there, and I personally will do everything I can to keep that from happening.

Speaking only for myself, I am invigorated enough and do not need the barbarians IN the gates to wake up, thank you very much.
