You have every right to send your letter to the RNC, David Osborne. That First Amendment right is one of the many freedoms that John McCain fought to preserve. The fact is, though, that the RNC didn’t nominate John McCain as the GOP presidential candidate; the majority of the GOP primary voters did. If you feel comfortable about helping to put Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton into the Oval Office, then go for it. How much better it would have been, however, if you had put half the energy that you put into writing that letter into working for the nominee of your choice—unless, of course, that nominee is one of those two Democrats.

What YOU said.

Thank you for saying everything that was whirling around in my head as I was reading his ego-piece. You saved me the time it would've taken to get my thoughts together.

As for Osborne - he reminds me of the fly sitting on the hub of the chariot wheel who says: "Look. Look at all the dust I make!"

(Mr. O. The primary is over. The people voted. We have a candidate. We damn well better see he gets in. (I say "we", giving you the benefit of assuming you aren't really shilling for hitlery or obamama...which is sounds like.)

You know full well that David put more work into supporting a conservative candidate (Duncan Hunter) than most other Freepers - myself included. I agree with David that supporting McCain now would send the wrong message to the RNC and give them the idea that they can ignore conservatives with impunity. Its going to be a tough election season but if we give into the party elites then this will be the end of conservatism in the Republican Party.
