I agree. Though the realities on the ground make it difficult, I will probably LITERALLY hold my nose when I stand in the booth and vote for McCain.
We can hope for a conservative running mate with him, though.
Look, if conservatives don’t hold McCain’s feet to the fire and require him to meet some of our demands, if we abandon him, there will be no one listening to us at all. McCain, whether he likes it or not, needs our votes to even have a chance, and he is going to be willing to cut deals.
We have to stick it to him.
While the GOP may have chosen President Bush, it wasn’t the GOP who chose McCain. Moderates, independents and Democrats did.
Agreed.
Beautiful tagline.
Thank you sir, I have gotten a jump on the rest of the socialists and taken things away from you for the common good.
I shrugged on February 7, then made it official by filing for divorce from the GOP in April, one day after voting against McCain in the PA primary:

No, we won’t vote for Obama, but we can skip the Presidential ballot and go on to the other races.
Right now, I’m going to vote for McCain but, I’m real close to skipping the presidential ballot (or its equivalent - voting Losertarian or Green).
Agreed, I wil not vote for McCain.
I will cast my vote for him or vote against Obama.
I will not drink the Socialist Republocrat Kool-Aid
Screw McCain as he has screwed us.
But continuing to exaggerate the negative unto yourself by painting McCain and others far less conservative than yourself with a broad socialistic brush, gives you the necessary rationalization to abandon and betray the conservative cause. It is a mistake and a twisting of reality to which I am unwilling to adhere.
VOTE FOR Mr. THOMPSON!
By their actions, they have eliminated themselves from the political discourse. They have nothing to say, except "Good-Bye".
Socialist may promise smaller governments but deliver it none the less. McCain’s back door is Global Warming.
They have nothing to say, except "Good-Bye".
In a political environment when things 'get worse' it can take generations before they get better and only then with a lot of suffering and bloodshed. Is that what we want for our nation and children? Vote the Communists OUT!
Yes, I am painfully aware of McCain’s downfalls. But to label him a socialist is an exaggeration which is wholly inaccurate and intellectually dishonest. He’s a moderate.
You, who swallow wholesale the lies McCain is spewing. And are believing what you want to see. How is his massive global warming bill less government? How is comprehensive immigration reform less government? How is attacking tax cuts for years until 2008 declaring he would suddenly keep them when it became apparent he might be nominated believable?
I am not the deluded one.
See tagline.
So McCain = Obama? Is that what you’re saying?
I also see in your profile your love of the first amendment.
Gee? Who concocted the first legislation in the history of our government to partially suppress political free speech?
Oh thats right! The so-called moderate!
Oh! Lets vote for him, for he will save our Republic! With the banning of free speech! The implementation of massive beaurocracy and taxation via global warming! The mass amnesty of illegals and accompanying beaurocracy, for they will save the conservative movement by voting dem 75%! Alito’s that he hates, and Souters that will pass an all-dem congress.
McCain! The savior of the conservative movement. He will kill it, and make it better 35 years later. Vote for the R!
McCain defies labeling. But the issues he gets passionate about are issues that make socialist hearts beam.
