McConan the "Republican"? Just say NO!

If the general election is McCain or Obama….
You can vote for one of those two, not vote for President, write in (which is the same as not voting), or vote third party
I will NEVER vote for McCain, you can take that to the bank! If you feel the same way, that leaves us with: Don’t vote, Write in, third party or OBAMA…
Not voting buys me nothing, write in or third party may make me feel a little better but unless the third part ticket is FRED/DUNCAN I don’t see myself going that route... But I’m toying with voting for OBAMA.
I realize I will be banned from the Freeper convention but hear me out….
Instead of not voting for McCain, I would get the sheer pleasure of voting AGAINEST HIM! It makes me warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. Now I’ve said over and over on this forum that I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again, because our evil gets more evil every election because we keep voting for them. The same people screaming vote for Mitt to stop McCain will be screaming vote for McCain to stop Hillary/Obama. But I wouldn’t be voting for the lesser of two evils, I would be voting FOR the first African American president! Obama will beat McCain in a landslide in the general election anyway because the liberals and independents that have supported him will all vote for Obama, so my voting for Obama will be meaningless except for two things.
1 Revenge on McCain for all the crap he has pulled on conservatives over the years.
2 Statistics yep, all the numbers that will be quoted over the years about the Obama victory. How many white males voted for Obama How many Republicans voted for Obama How many conservatives voted for Obama How many Rebel Flag flyers voted for Obama
The bigger the Obama victory, the weaker the race card will be in all future elections. The next time a liberal implies that my rebel flag is racist, I’ll say I’m not racist, I voted for Obama. I’ll get to drive around with my Obama bumper sticker for 8 years. Maybe the next African American I get to vote for will be a conservative republican like J.C. Watts or Mike Steele. Until then I think “Conservatives for Obama” has a nice ring to it….
Obama is even a more frightening prospect than Hillary.
A socialist (Obama) vs. a waffling centrist (McCain).... hmm.... yeah, let’s vote for the socialist.

Obama might actually make the Republican Party grow a spine. He’s also inexperienced and would give the country a refresher course on Jimmy Carter type governance. If we still have a country in four years, that could open the door for conservative governance.
Robbin; you are grasing in the wrong pasture. You must be lost. Go find someone to help you.
Four years of Obama, especially with a Democratic Congress, does not gain us anything worth that price.
That's dumb. That will just be interpreted as support (i.e., a mandate) for Obama. A third-party vote, on the other hand, sends a clear 'protest' message. The particular people running on the 3rd party ticket don't matter that much, since they're not going to get elected. Voting for the Constitution or Libertarian parties, for example, tells the GOP establishment "you could have had these votes if you weren't pushing leftism."
The way this election is shaping up there will be no point to voting this November.
What is going on with vanity posts about voting for/against McCain today? Get on to the news, please.
It won’t matter, McCain won’t win anyway. Think about McCain going up against either Democrat and giving a performance like he gave last night. The Democrat is going to snicker and apologize to the audience for having to contradict McCain’s senior moment.
> I’ll say I’m not racist, I voted for Obama. I’ll get to drive around with my Obama bumper sticker for 8 years.<
I can get behind your McCain revenge scenario, but the Prius vote not so much.
As much as I despise McCain, Obama is truly the worst of the bunch. He is the quintessential and potentially most dangerous enemy within.
“A socialist (Obama) vs. a waffling centrist (McCain)....”
You mean a socialist (Obama) vs. a liberal, dishonest, back-stabber (McCain).
I’ll vote third party.
I’ll probably go third party or stay home, but I’m not voting for McCain. The GOP can try again in 4 years.
If the one man that Republicans say they won’t vote for wins the Republican primary, something is broken.
I’ll have some serious soul-searching to do at that point.
All of the conservatives combined in this race never added up to more than 12 or 13% voter support. There is a problem bigger than just McCain. I’m not sure where we go from here.

So why start a new one!
If McCain is the nominee I’ll either write-in Fred Thompson or stay home. There’s nothing that says you have to vote for a Democrat if you don’t like the Republican choice.
