How don’t care if such “conservatives” leave the GOP.
But, in a general election, when the facts are evident and the winner will either be the GOP candidate and an avoid Marxist like Obama, I hope those “conservatives” understand that their own party members, if elected to Congress, will find more favor with other GOPers there and a GOP President than they will ever get from an Obama; and therefore, just as I would expect GOP members to vote for a “Conservative Party” presidential candidate, when the other top likely winner was an Obama; which I have allot of confidence that most in the GOP would do.
So, if you expect me to believe that you really care most about your conservatism but that you prefer to NOT vote for McCain, then I will accept that you are NOT a true conservative because one would not help elect an avoid Marxist, no matter what.
Many, many Conservatives are no longer party members. Everyone I know used to be Republicans... Now I a pretty hard pressed to think of anyone I know who is a Republican... Right off hand I can think of two. the rest are all indys now.
We are not beholden to your party-line bullcrap anymore (not that we were before anyway).
