“To deny that, and pretend that somehow McCain wasn’t the candidate chosen by voters, is to deny reality.”
Do you deny that the Republican leadership, elected or unelected, either way, unaccountable, made the rules such that independents and Rats were voting in Republican primaries? Thereby leaving only two choices after the first primaries, the cultist and the liberal.
Then don’t vote for the Republican nominee. That’s your choice. Just don’t try to convince anyone that doing so doesn’t mean that Obama, a marxist in words and deeds, will require that many fewer votes to win.
