I am sorry but you are the one not only throwing in the towel but hiding under a rock covering your eyes and plugging your ears. McCain is a moderate not a liberal, Obama is a Liberal with a capital ‘L’. I hate the choice we have to make this year as we have in the past couple of elections but I for damn sure am not going to abstain from voting and guarantee the socialists win. Yes McCains stance on the border and illegals irritate me, yes his McCain-Feingold pisses me off, yes other issues of his irritate me. However his stances on abortion and the courts I like, he is pro-gun, he will not cut and run from the world. Which is where I think you and other paleo-cons are at. You want to close the world into a nicely defined border where you naively believe that the world won’t harm you. Sorry but there are lot bigger issues at stake than just our southern border and MCCain-Feingold. His name is Obama, and he will destroy us. You shouldnt sit back and accept that based on some preconceived notion of principles because you will never find the perfect candidate and when you do they are completely unelectable to the masses.

I am so glad that those that came before us didn't abandon their principles as easily as you are willing to.

It's okay for you to support McCain, but don't so claiming some higher goal or that you are in fact a believer in conservative principles.

I can't imagine sleeping with a clear conscience after endorsing someone who so greatly opposes the fundamentals of one's beliefs.

It's easy to think tactically and try to win a battle only to lose the war. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions, and obviously Hussein has made you willing to abandon your principles.

I'm going to fight to win the war, and I understand you wish to lose the war to win a battle. Please don't, however, ever claim to stand or believe in anything conservative. Conservatives stand on principles, and liberals vote for their party regardless of their beliefs and principles.

People that vote for McCain can not, by their very endorsement of him, be conservatives. This isn't something that can be argued, it's just a fact.
