Nope. I have principles. I stand for those. I don’t sink to pull a lever for a liar.

Too frickin’ bad. Tired of selling out my principles for the alleged good of the party. Next time, republicans better think twice before ‘settling’ for the ‘only one’ who can beat Hillary. Those folks got us in this mess- not the ones who voted on their principles.

Each time we genuine conservatives support one of these turncoats, we define-down the republican party........

Yep. The line of scrimmage is always being established farther to the left. It needs to stop, and I think this year may be the moment.

Then you should oppose McCain. His economic plans would cripple the US.

I know, believe me, I’m with you. With a fine distinction. McCain is my next-to-last choice. I can’t escape the logical conclusion that it’s not possible to abstain. Disgusting as the choice may be, any vote other than a vote for the nominee is, objectively, a vote for the worst possible choice.

I’ve already seen the results of “teaching the pubs a lesson” in ‘92. The idea of living thru another eight years with those corrupt scumbags, and, even worse if that’s possible, their smug retinue of blumenthal clones spewing vitriol 24/7 will likely send me, personally, over the edge.

Yeah, it sucks, but I’m not going to make it any worse than it already is, and....

Bolton carries weight with me.

The GOP, as far as I’m concerned, is done. Time to stick a fork in it. They had better wake up and smell the coffee...it’s burnt.

No Liberal Leaders for Republican Party (David Limbaugh)

Sure, if I'm a paid staffer for McCain or a high-school debater forced to take the affirmative side of the proposition that McCain is a conservative, I can make a colorable case — intellectual honesty be damned — that he's a conservative. But I am under no such constraints.

Getting 50 endorsements from well-placed Republican officials or even respected conservatives doesn't make McCain conservative. Being a conservative makes one a conservative. I bet, truth be told, McCain can't even stand the word.

The Real McCain

Many FReepers use to really like John Bolton.

I'm waiting for them to diss Tom Coburn for endorsing McCain.

No one has been brave enough (or bullheaded enough) to do that. Yet.

I find it more than blasphemous that you make an analogy between McRino and Jesus Christ or our brave soldiers.

"I'm behind McCain now.

He is our best option at this point.

I did a check of his voting record and it looks more conservative than what Bush has offered up for the past 8 years."

Have you checked McCain is poison list here on FR? It's enough to scare a reasonable person who loves this country!!

Scroll down to Free Republic Opinion Poll: Would you be for or against McCain?

McCain is poison according to this FR list!!

Oh, believe me, I agree! But, the republicans have lost their compass. Mostly out of spite.

And I don't lay aside my principles for anything that is so obviously wrong, rather, I STAND FIRM against fakes and liars. I won't vote for someone who is no friend to conservatives, the Constitution, or to American values and our sovereignty. I stand firm against McShamnesty.

Ephesians 6:

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then...
