They have not understood the difference between supporting and supporting.
1) one can "support" that is, vote for someone.
2) one can "support" that is work for by doing the grunt work at the campaign headquarters, volunteering time, making calls, distributing literature, giving small contributions etc. - all of which conservatives tend to do.

So I hope the DC elites and establishment republicans plan on going door to door, and use their car to take people to the polls.

Bush was sound on national defense and on some of his domestic policy such as taxes. McCain is a step to the left, who will close Gitmo, and give us massive tax increases in the form of carbon taxes.

Bush sought to at least court conservatives, McCain spits on them. I might vote, November is a long way away, for McCain as the lesser of two evils but I am not doing the second item, "work for" him.

When you deliberately vote for a candidate, you are putting your imprimatur on him. You make yourself personally responsible for his decisions and actions.

Of course, no candidate is perfect, but McCain is little different in all areas than the democrat choices. If you vote for McCain, you may as well vote for the democratic selection.

The folks that want to fundamentally change America have us in a trap. If you don't vote for the republican offering, you have "elected" the democrat offering, and the republican offering wants the same thing as the democrat offering.

You are being forced to put your deliberate seal of approval on these changes planned for America.

Vote. It is not a privilege, not a right, not an honor. It is a duty of an American citizen under a democratically elected representative republic.

But vote for a candidate that is not part of the plan, and both the democrat and republican parties are demonstratively for the plan.
