Are you going to vote in the November 2008 election no matter who wins the Republican primary?

Posted on 11/25/2007 5:29:03 PM PST by cradle of freedom

I would like to know if you are going to vote in the November 2008 election even if your candidate does not win. Will you stay home if you don't like the Republican candidate?

Another thing that I have often wondered about is whether people actually stay home when they are disheartened. News commentators often say that some voters may have decided to stay home because they were not happy with the candidates. I think that is a mistake because even if you do not like the person at the top of the ticket you should at least vote for the other candidates. Have you every actually stayed home and not gone to the polls at all because you were not happy with a candidate?

I have no "candidate" in the race. There's the choices we have that have been chosen for us, and my support in the primaries is limited to the candidate(s) I believe can win, and represent MOST of my positions.

That said, I will vote in Nov. 2008 (as always), for ABH (anybody-but-Hildabeast), whether it takes one or two clothespins to do so.

It won’t be another 4-8 years of the Clintons. There is a Constitutional amendment that prohibits their continured shared presidency.

The Supreme Court will send them packing and her VP pick will ascend. Of course, court cases like this mean that she would be sworn and reign again.

I’m glad you know Catholics who don’t vote for abortionists, because 90% of the Catholics I know vote Democrat.

I always wondered how they rationalized that.

There is a point at which one has to select the lesser of two evils.

That point is reached when you have TWO parties,,,,BOTH to the 'left-of-center'...(i.e. a LIBERAL RUNOFF--Rudy vs. Hillary)

I have another choice....third party--which many of us will select. Enjoy Hillary if we reach the LIBERAL RUNOFF.

I will vote but if the DRNC shove Rudy or Romney, I will write in a name.

I am conservative and if a liberal gets the nomination.
There will only be one party “The Repulicrat Party”.
No conservatives allowed.
I will only vote for a conservative.

Anyone who would stand idle and watch Hillary be elected can hardly call himself an American.

Of course. Even if I may vote (as I did in 1996) for the Libertarian over the Republican candidate. There are just some folks who I can’t “hold my nose for”, even if it means four years of Hillary (who doesn’t scare me as much as she does many on this site).

Most of the polls are putting Hillary ahead of the Republican candidates in a head to head poll. However, I think that many more Republicans are actually going to get their butts out to the polls. Republicans don’t have to be driven to the polls in yellow school buses, nor do we have to be bribed with packs of Marlboros, Republicans Vote. We believe in civic duty. This is war, get to the polls —and no pouting!

No, the lesson hasn’t been learned.

I am very strongly pro-life. However, if pro-abortion Rudy wins the nomination, I will vote for him. At that point, we’ll have only two choices—Rudy or Hillary. I will do nothing that might help the PIAPS and Bubba get back into the White House. If the Dems retain control of Congress and Hillary is elected, God help us.

You don't seem to realize that LIBERAL Republicans like Guiliani are much more dangerous than liberal democrats...

because LIBERAL Republicans like Rudy BLUR THE DISTINCTION between conservatism and liberalism...

MAKING LIBERALISM MUCH MORE ACCEPTABLE!!!

My Catholic family members have voted Dem for over 50 years, I wonder if they know what they’re voting for.

Yeah, right, I stay home and the entire election goes to Clinton. As I said, MD always goes blue, my vote won’t change that, so why bother choosing between two abortionist gay-rights advocating gun-grabbing surrender monkeys?

If I reeeealllyy must, i.e. the pre-election MD polls between Hitlery and Rudy are razor-thin, then I’ll vote for him.
