well what am I supposed to do? someone has to be president and since nobody else is running, better have McCain win than hillary or obama
Let’s say we all get behind McCain and he gets elected.
In that scenario, what do you suppose the chances are of us getting a more acceptable candidate for 2012 or 2016?
Consider also an alternative scenario: McCain does not get conservative votes and loses. Do our chances of having the next nominee as someone who would advocate a conservative agenda go up or down in those circumstances?
Putting your trust in one who betrays will only allow him to betray again, only with much more power. He is without honor, and is unworthy of trust. To defend him, and his ascent, is to accept defeat of principle for an hollow and ignoble 'win'.
Vote Third-Party. You are you're own man, right? Or are you a party slave? You only have one vote, make it a principled one.
If others followed your lead instead of you following theirs we might get somewhere.
Nothing in the Constitution about only having two options for every office.
