I am one of the many conservatives who was angry that there wan;t anyone reflecting my values left in the GOP race. I did consider voting third party or sitting at home on election day. However, common sense started taking over after a few days.

There is too much at stake to waste my vote and others votes with this election. To sit out or vote third party will not send any kind of message that will help my children or myself.

The next president will make decisions regarding our national security and how we handle terrorists. The next president will likely have to nominate a few Supreme Court Justices. The next President will have to take on what is likely to be a Democrat super majority in Congress.

If those are things you wish the two biggest Washington D.C. LIBERALS, Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama, to preside over and rubber stamp, then continue to stay away. Think of what your children and grandchildren will have to live with in the future. They will have angry conservatives to thank for the mess they will inherit.

I'm not ecstatic over the choice I face, but I am now recognizing the alternatives and I refuse to damn my child to such a mess because I wanted to act like an angry child.

Wake up people. We may not like it, but we have to work together if we are going to make the conservative movement live on. and grow.

You are wrong to assume that none of us have thought about that. Personally, I don't see electing McCain as less evil then either Hitlery or Hussien Obama. What I believe future generations will be angry at is not conservatives but the Republican party run by liberals that helped create this mess.

This isn't about acting like a child, this is about acting like an adult who stands for the truth regardless of the consequences. Knowingly electing a liberal dressed as a Republican is more "damning" to future generations then sticking to conservative principles.

Two questions...how does talking down to those who don't support McCain (telling us we are acting like children and that we are not paying attention) help 'bring us together?'

How does supporting a liberal make conservative ideals live on?

No, they can blame the idiotic moderates and crossover Democrats that nominated the guy even while KNOWING that conservatives WILL NOT vote for him.
