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.

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.

Um, the RNC doesn't nominate the candidate; WE do. And in this very race there were several more conservative candidates, but guess what? Hardly anyone voted for them.

And instead of taking responsibility for that, people sit around moaning about how the RNC this, the GOP that and on and on. It's OUR responsibility to rally around a candidate and we didn't do it. So of course a less conservative candidate won.

Thank you for working to get conservative congresscritters elected. However,the same reasoning that people are now using to justify refusing to vote for the Republican nominee caused many conservatives to sit home in 2006, and is something that will have to be overcome in 2008.

We can't constitute a majority in Congress without a bunch of good, decent conservatives in RINO districts having to vote for RINOs. Try to square that with most of the rationales justifying not supporting the nominee (whoever it turned out to be) because he was a RINO, and you see the problem.

It's a well-established fact that protest voting throws elections.

Thank you for your service.
