I will not vote for McCain or Huckabee or any ticket that has either of them on it.

We should not stay home. We need to find a third party candidate that we can support, and vote third party. It's important we vote for the conservative congress critters..all RINOS need to be voted out!

McCain's adviser said the conservatives will come back to McCain to keep Hillery from winning. They need to see once and for all, that you can't spit on us and then still expect for us to vote for you. You can't stab your Party in the back, time and time again, and then expect us to come back because you are the lesser of two evils.

It takes a Carter to get a Reagan.
Besides, if we actually got a conservative to run third party, I bet they would do quite well!

The problem is third party balkanization. I would support the Constitution party, but their foreign policy platform is dangerously isolationist.

I am a conservative.

I was a Republican. The party left me evidently, having been hijacked by the Schwarzenegger/McCain/Giuliani wing.

Since the party leadership is mostly interested in being Democrat-lite, I say we start our own. I’m not sure the Republican party can be saved, with such powerful RINOs in charge.

We need to get back to basic principles, and argue for limited government. We need to get that message out. It’s a message of freedom, one that resonates. Talking about economic policy is a waste of time, especially when you don’t understand basic principles.

Talk about Freedom: The freedom to choose how to live your life, free of government oppression. The freedom to go as high, or as low as you want to. That’s your choice in a Free Society. The freedom to worship how you wish. The freedom to defend yourself with a firearm. The freedom to spend your hard earned money how you see fit.

This is what made our country great!

Not handouts, not free education, not free healthcare. That’s what folks on the socialist end of the spectrum would like you to buy into. And what sadly resonates with today’s uneducated voters.

If Republican politicians actually believed all of these things that made our country great (or even understood them), we would win elections. Instead, we discuss things like Departments of Homeland Security, Tax Cuts, and balanced budgets (which the voters have seen we’re terrible at anyway, so why not just vote in some liberals who will at least give us some ‘free’ loot at the same time!).

We need a new third party. Not a dime from my pockets to the RNC from now on.

He's right.

As much as I wish all those on this board will keep their resolution NOT to vote McCain, when the time comes they'll do it. McCain's counting on conservatives hating Hillary more than him.

He will take the indy votes, of course...the base of John McCain...(hello NH)
