I just realized...I mean that.
It's going to come down to this.
I have often argued, as many here have, that when FReepers said they would sit home rather than vote for (McCain, usually, sometimes Guiliani), that such sitting out would put Hilary in the Whitehouse.
But I'm not moving on this.
Show me what I came for. Show me what I paid for. Show me that you will deliver what you promised.
Because if you don't...if somewhere in the back rooms, part of the calculus is, Who else are they gonna vote for anyway? (other than whatever Republican is running), I'm going to vote for her to show you that I am tired of being taken for granted. Very, very tired.
How often here on FR we complain about how the Dems keep African-Americans on "the plantation"--taking them for granted, of course...BECAUSE WHO ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO VOTE FOR?
We felt a little superior, didn't we? But if the wrong nominee comes up, it only shows they were taking us for granted once again. Only this time, it's on one of the most important issues affecting our lives. (Yes, I take some hope that the national outcry over last week's land-grab ruling will inform the SC choice, but I fear that it will only be a small part of the decision.)
This is for me and my wife...and our kids...and our grandchildren. This nominee is the key to how the court will judge for a long, long time, likely.
And if this screaming, disingenuous, manipulative MINORITY can control the nominee when we (technically) have more power....
We might as well elect Hilary, because it won't make any difference. And she'll be such a horrible, leftist, socialistic, fascistic president...that maybe one day we'll finally catch some Republican politicians with some balls.
anyone selling a T ?
Come what come may, I'll never vote for a communist for anything.
Where are the viking kitties?
FOr what it's worth--I agree, though I haven't decided how I'm gonna vote yet.
Umm...why would you do that...Because Bush wouldnt nominate youre favorite...youre going to help doom this country to socialism....that makes complete sense....
Sorry, I'm not buying. I will stay home before I vote for Hillary.
Oh, brother. You sound like Democrats threatening to move to Canada if Bush wins. Do you have any idea how much Bush has done to put conservatives in power?
Nothing Bush will do will ever get me to vote for Hillary..
Remember now, George W. Bush is not running for a third term
YOU vote for hillereee. You'll get what YOU deserve. We won't be voting for her...no way, no how, not ever!
Great, tomorrow's front page of the NYT, "Freepers Back Hillary for 2008"
Quick. Someone alert the media....
If Bush Doesn't Nominate A True Conservative, I'm Voting For Hilary For Presiden
...Speeel Cheqker is Yure frend!
And...thanks for letting us know...because we care!
I disagree...while he may be a social moderate\liberal...If Hillary is president we might as well surrender the WOT...at least McCain is strong on defense...
The last time I felt that way, I voted for Ross for Boss.
Look what THAT got us!
If 19% of the country hadn't felt betrayed by
"Read my lips, NO NEW TAXES!",
we wouldn't even know who the hell Hitlery was!!
No thanks, I'm not going down that path again.

It's probably better to vote for a Libertarian or Constitution Party representative. That way you are sending the message to the Republicans without betraying your conservative values.
If he has any..anyone who even for a second considers voting for Hitlery doesnt sound like a Conservative to me!
"John Mc Cain", the only POW who came out of captivity weighing more that he did when he went in. (Per one of the Hanoi POWs.)
