I think it is high time we “get a candidate WE CAN BELIEVE IN”, that is not McCain. It is asking too much to not accept the BS he believes in? I am tired of being told to shut up, vote, and not being granted freedom of speech.

What are we fighting for anyway? I am not fighting for a UN controlled, global world. Just not.

I couldn’t agree more! There is still time for us to find another candidate, IF we stop telegraphing the message to the party that we will vote for any slop just to keep the dems from winning. If we don’t stand up now - it will be a long time before we get the chance to again.

“I think it is high time we “get a candidate WE CAN BELIEVE IN”, that is not McCain.”

I couldn’t agree more, and apparently we’re in the majority. A little factoid I found at Zogby:

“In what could spell bad news for the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, an overwhelming 86% of self-described “very conservative” voters said they are displeased with the current presidential candidates - and 65% of these voters said they are very unsatisfied. The vast majority of conservatives (76%) and Republicans (76%) also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the current candidates, as did more than half of political independents (55%).

How satisfied are you with the current candidates for president?

Satisfied/Not satisfied
Likely voters 51% / 48%
Republicans 24% / 76%
Democrats 82% / 18%
Independents 44% / 55%

Note: Some totals may not equal 100% due to rounding”

The “gotta get a new candidate” contingent is huge—76%. I think I’ll keep that figure in my back pocket for the next time some McCainiac tries to tell me I’m on the lunatic fringe for not supporting McCain. That fringe is pretty crowded.
