I don’t hate John McCain. I am a life-long conservative activist, not a DU/Obama pest, but I will never, ever vote for a man who wrote and helped pass a bill outlawing political speech by groups 60 days before an election.

The thought that ANY American politician, let alone a REPUBLICAN politician, could actually think it proper to censor the NRA and Right to Life from criticizing politicians 60 days before an election makes me sick to my stomach...I could never vote for such an un-American, disgusting man.

True, we’ll probably get the kind of censorship seen in Europe and Canada, where people who criticize Islam or homosexuality are arrested, thrown in jail or fined, but McCain is of that same belief, that it is appropriate for government to censor “bad thought,” as Hitlery and Obama, and frankly, if or when it happens, I prefer it not to have come about by someone that I voted for, my conscience won’t allow it.

By the way, I don’t know ANY of my conservative friends who are voting for McCain...his views are so far off conservative principles that in essence it would be like voting for our ideological opposites.

I agree 100% and my friends feel the same. . . . .

I would feel more rotten having McCain in office and taking away our freedoms, having known that I voted FOR him, than having him in office and knowing that I did NOT vote for him.

And him in office is substantially no different than Obama or Clinton in there, on the big ticket policy items at least for me.

I will be making a principled vote, and will be able to sleep at night with a good conscience regardless of the outcome, because I will not compromise when it comes to our freedoms, our sovereignty, our Constitution, and our very way of life.

Thank you! Very well said.

Exactly my point- There is no opposition if both sides of the aisle are socialists.
