Because voting for a kleptocrat makes you complicit in your own tyranny: it puts the handcuffs on your hands. I wouldn’t support Herod even if he is better than Caesar
If you don’t get it, I’m sorry. It’s called integrity
Besides, do you really think McCain is a conservative? Come on!
If a third party candidate is wildly successful and pulls 10% of the vote in the red and battleground states, who will take office on January 20, 2009?
Who will become commander in chief?
Who will appoint 2-3 Supremes in his first term?
Who will sign the Freedom of Choice Act as his first official action?
And you really think enabling that leaves your hands free or clean?

Wrong. It's called arrogance. It's saying that one is too good to worry about the real world consequences of ones vote. Even if McCain were a liberal, I don't have any less integrity than you because I want FDR instead of Carter (heck, FDR instead of Lenin!), or because I would rather have a pro-lifer appointing judges than the most radical pro-abort to ever run for this office. The fact that you even think you are somehow on a higher moral plane than those who care what happens to real babies, real soldiers and real taxpayers for the next four years is breathtakingly silly.
BTW, who do you plan to vote for? If you're doing anything other than writing in George Washington's name, you're a hypocrite.

Since you have rejected Reagan as a supporter of "kleptocrats" who would choose Herod over Jesus, I don't think you're remotely qualified to decide who is and isn't conservative.
