I’m not a single issue voter.
Back then there was concern about global warming, now we know it was BS.
McCain said he doesn’t our vote, fine.
If he wants it he knows how to get it and where ti find it.
McCain says he will appoint conservative judges, not raise taxes, and secure the border.
Obama promises to appoint liberal judges, raise taxes, and makes no promise to do anything about illegal immigration except give them drivers licenses.
I hope McCain keeps his promises. I have no doubt Obama will.
I'd like a shot at answering this.
McCain is not counting on being the very best candidate. He's counting on being less offensive to the electorate than Hillary or Obama.
And he's probably right. He's a smart guy, he's done the math. He'll probably get elected because he's less patently offensive to most people than the other choices.
McCain will probably pick a middle-of-the-road VP, too, because he doesn't see a conservative as necessary to his personal cause (getting himself elected). And he knows that a middle of the road guy (or gal) will help win the votes of a few Democrats.
But a lot of people, if they don't go out and vote for McCain, won't go out and vote at all on election day. And there are races all over the nation that will be affected if conservatives don't go out and support the true conservatives running in hundreds of races all over the nation.
So, that is why it matters. Not so much that it matters if you vote for McCain on election day, but that you vote period.
Of course, you're here, which means you care about politics and the process, so you'll probably go out and vote. But there should be true concern about every last one of the conservatives who choose to sit this one out.
Good post.
Bush enabled a 3rd Party. If Bush had not stiffed the Reagan Democrats, Bush would have beaten Clinton. What goes around, comes around.
I do not trust him
he said he doesn’t need my vote, fine.
He will have raise taxes to cover his amnesty plan.
I’m waiting to see if Hillary will run on a Third Party ticket.
Many of the third party, aka Obama voters don’t like the Dole and McCain types as it reminds them of sitting at home while Dole and McCain fought for their country
Nicely said. I pray you are wrong about another strike on the U.S.
RNC supporting scum like Chaffee in elections helped bring about this mess.
I’ll vote for whoever some stupid radio jock tells me to vote. I hope that’s all right with the Blame Perot crowd, who have just voted for the devil’s own spawn in the Texas and Pennsylvania primaries. Oh, and I’ll respect the heroic King of Foodstamps, too.
TROLLS
Your so-called “logic” might work if it weren’t for the fact that the election is a zero-sum game.
That is, one of the two major party candidates IS going to get elected.
Yep.
Thank you.
If it was Lieberman against Obama, yes.
I’ll take another G.W. Bush anyday.
Great. Don’t vote for McCain. He will find plenty of moderate and Hispanic voters to take your place. Go and wander the wilderness for a generation if that’s what you really want, but quit trying to sabotage the John McCain’s election.
11 voters.
Scenerio 1:
6 vote for McCain, 5 vote for Obama. McCain wins!
Scenerio 2:
5 vote for McCain, 5 vote for Obama, 1 douche bag votes for Huckabee. Congress selects Obama. Obama wins!
Scenerio 3:
4 vote for McCain, 5 vote for Obama, 1 douche bag votes for Huckabee, 1 misguided fool votes for Romney. Obama wins straight up!
Scenerio 4:
4 vote for McCain, 5 vote for Obama, 2 "principled" conservatives stay home. Obama wins straight up!
Ad infinitum...
Probably not getting through, eh? "Logic" dictates you never would have posted this drivel in the first place.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't begrudge anyone staying home, voting 3rd party, or writing in someone else. Just don't make lame excuses that you played no part in Obama winning.
| Vote McCain! He sucks less! |

Maybe not, but they will have to throw the far left some kind of bone or lose reelection and they know this to be the way things are.
If they pull a few brigades out of Iraq al-Qaida will be encouraged and chaos will ensue.
The resulting Chaos will simply be proof to the far left that we can not win and they will step up their efforts to complete full withdrawal.
Eventually the Democrats will be seeking to bring some kind of six party talks. We will have lost in all but name and the Dims will have snatched failure from the jaws of victory once again.
I for one do not want to go down that road.
