I respect your opinion and I hope your crystal ball is clear. An Obama presidency has the possibility to “crash him of his own weight” but it also has the possibility to do long term harm to our country especially with respect to foreign policy and the war on terror. I prefer to not take that chance.
I don’t a crystal ball, what I do have are beliefs and principles. I will vote those and not be told or coerced into voting for someone simply because the RNC and the other Republican Rinos dictate it. I will vote conservative, lacking one to vote for in the Republican party, I will vote 3rd party if one is available or write in one of my choice. Duncan Hunter would be one of my choices for write in. Wasted vote you say? BS, a vote used for what a person believes in is never wasted. According to the elites of the republican party and a bunch of fools who hang out on FR trying to undermine conservatism, we should not worry about the politics of the nominee just simply vote for who is nominated, regardless if the nomination was actually legitimate or not. I don’t consider open primaries to be a legitimate nomination tool. Republicans don’t need Democrats and Independants picking their candidates. If we had one big primary with only republicans voting, McCain would not be the nominee. I won’t vote for the man, he doesn’t believe in the same things I do, he doesn’t stand by the constitution, he won’t appoint conservative Justices and he will push for amnesty. He is a socialist(read communist) and I refuse to vote for him.
