But I’m wondering if those who are refusing to vote for McCain see themselves at all in this.

As I said, they often say they are not responsible for the election of the other guy when they bail on the election or cast a protest vote.

But the big world out there thinks otherwise. It is what it is.

So, I’m wondering, if a person feels justified in refusing to vote for a particular nominee, what’s the problem with admitting that, thereby, they are helping the other guy get elected? What’s up with always trying to “blame” someone else for the result of the election?

Yeah, what's up with that JAG?

When the Dem and Repub nominees are so pitiful that they can't even get their base to come out and vote why do they and their supporters always look for scapegoats?

Because it is only the loser candidate that makes the issue “a vote for a Third Party candidate is a vote for my opponent”

This is the immature loser whine everytime a 3d Party candidate comes along. Its never the mainstream party candidate sucking so bad

Third party votes never cost anyone an election. Being a bad candidate always does

By no means this is an endorsement for Nader....he actually is no different than McCain, Hillary or Obama.

Would like to see a good CONSERVATIVE third party candidate run

Wow, the big world says it is. Actually a few people say it is, that doesn't equate to the "big world". Regardless of how many people say it, it doesn't change things. I refuse to vote for McCain. I will not vote for a liberal regardless of the initial after his/her name. McCain is not a conservative, he is at least as liberal as Hillary and probably very close to Obama. If Republicans want my vote they had better run a conservative as a candidate, and don't give me that BS about the "majority" picked him for the nominee, we both know that is a lie. Open primaries and the RNC, plus the MSM, picked McCain. If we were to have one big primary on the same day for republican nominee, he would not be the winner, I would bet good money on it.

Once again, regardless of who gets elected, I will not vote for McCain, I will vote 3rd party or write in, if you can't handle that, and I am not the only one who will not vote for this sleaze bag, you had better make sure the RNC nominates a conservative next time around. This time I will work to get conservative senators and reps elected.

Oh, yes, don't give me that "he is a prisoner of war and a veteran" crap, I am a veteran also, 66 years old and served my country with the best of them and McCain is absolutely the worse republican candidate I have ever seen running for President, including Dole.
