even though that's not the case, that's good enough for me. I'm not going to abandon the troops just because McCain didn't vote for every single tax cut.

“even though that’s not the case, that’s good enough for me. I’m not going to abandon the troops just because McCain didn’t vote for every single tax cut.”

Agreed.

I will never forget, nor forgive the democrats betrayal of our troops on the battlefield.
And Obama chills me to the bone how far he will go to lower our defenses.

Funny how you McAmnesty supporters are so sure all the troops agree with you on McAmnesty.

What The Author Said: "Really, it seems like the only issue on which McCain is conservative is the war in Iraq. He likes to call himself one of the “foot soldiers in the Reagan Revolution,” but what would the Gipper think of the McCain-Feingold law’s restriction of political speech? Would Reagan applaud McCain’s global warming fear-mongering bill, the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act? How about McCain’s calculated opposition to President Bush that changed as soon as it became politically advantageous? It’s things like this that make me wonder if McCain is an escapee from a mirror universe, one where conservatives are buddy-buddy with flaming liberals such as Obama and Clinton, the most widely recognized leader of the conservative movement would have liked cap-and-trade carbon credits and draconian arbitrary restrictions on political speech [...]"

Your Translation: I'm not going to abandon the troops just because McCain didn't vote for every single tax cut.

Reading Is FUNdamental!

but mccain also wants to
-balance the budget
-reform entitlements including social security, replacing it with private accounts
-abolish all corporate welfare
-is in favor of school choice
-wants a new tax code that you can fill out on a postcard
-wants to repeal the DC gun ban
- wants conservative judges like John Roberts on the SC

I care about all those things and I know I’m not going to get anything from Obama or Hillary.

"In a move that did Casca and Cassius — the prototypical back-stabbers from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar — proud, McCain denounced Cunningham, and assured the media that he had nothing but warm, fuzzy feelings for Senator Obama."

Who are you voting for?

Conservatives for Senate and the House; either a write-in for the top slot, or else simply leave it blank altogether.

Ballots cast during any given election are not -- the huffy, red-faced insistings of McCain apologists notwithstanding -- fungible. Definition via link provided merely as a courtesy, in order to forestall the inevitable any-vote-for-anyone-not-named-McCain-is-really-just-a-vote-for-Hillary/Obama/Satan imbecility. You're welcome.

saying it won’t make it so. You didn’t cancel out the vote for the democrat therefore you are making it easier for the democrat to win.

The democrats understand this which is why they don’t like Nader at all even if nader voters may vote for other democrats down the ticket. They will even vote for an old shoe if that’s what it takes to get a democrat in the white house.
