I never did set up such a table as "anybody but McCain" nor is that the objective of the new group that myself and others have founded and which will be launched soon.

Oh come on, son. "I base that on the reaction my newly formed group, Republicans Against Maverick McCain, got during the CPAC conference. Most who signed up said they wouldn't vote for McCain under any circumstance."

You're most certainly trying to convince folks how to vote -- or to withold their vote. If you can't even admit that, based on what you've said ... why should I trust anything you have to say?

LOL. As someone who will be 65 in a few months, I never thought I would be addressed as son.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I just provided you with the purpose of the organization and its mission. I am not trying to convince anyone not to vote for McCain. That is a matter of personal conscience. The only people who are signing up are those who agree with what we are doing. It is strictly voluntary. We reflect their views, not shape them.

Obviously, you don't understand the depth and extent of the dissent among conservatives about the McCain nomination. Although folks like Newt, Ollie, Geroge Will, John Bolton, and others are beseeching us to hold our noses and vote for McCain, it isn't working. Regardless, the proof of the pudding will be the results in November. If McCain wins, the conventional wisdom will be that he can win without conservatives, and if he loses, it was because of those nasty conservatives who didn't vote for McCain and placed personal dislikes above party.

As I have said, if John McCain can be excused by the GOP for voting on principle and conscience rather than with his party, we should be able to do the same thing in November.
