To those who have accused me of shilling for McCain, shame on you. My husband is a major in the USAF, currently stationed in Turkey, on an unaccompanied tour. He, too, has served in war, in Afghanistan. My support for the GOP nominee is sincere and admittedly selfish. I know that Senator McCain will support the troops in every way he can. Senators Clinton and Obama, one of whom will be elected if my fellow Republicans continue to do all they can to destroy the candidacy of John McCain, (based for some on their anger that whichever candidate they were supporting failed to gain the nomination), will trash the military and will thus endanger the safety and the security not only of the United States, but also the world.

Withhold your funds; sit at home on election day; vote for a third party candidate who has no chance in blazes of winning the election—but whose candidacy can surely bolster the Democratic candidate’s choice. But please don’t feel superior to the majority of those who turned out in their states’ primaries to select a candidate—a candidate whose name is John McCain.

For the record: I worked in the local campaign office for Governor Mike Huckabee. I was devastated when he failed to clinch the nomination, but proud when he vowed to fully support the candidate chosen by the majority of the GOP primary voters, John McCain. One of the Democrats may win the election in November, but I refuse to help them win and I will do all I can to help Senator McCain win.

Goody for you. This is NOT, I repeat NOT, a GOP website. This is a conservative website, and a goodly number of people around here have exited the Republican party. We have no obligation to vote for a traitorous liar who was chosen by leftists and liberal “Republicans” before we even got a chance to vote.

If you McCainiacs try to turn this into a “Rah, rah, Sis-boom-bah! GO, McCain!” site, you’re going to get a nasty surprise. Bush was barely tolerable. McCain is NOT tolerable.

I wish I believed that McCain will support our troops. For the record, I haven’t decided how I will vote in November other than knowing I will not vote for (press the button)the dem nom.

As for Huckabee, I didn’t vote for him in our primary, nor did I vote for McCain. By the time our primary was held, most of the republican candidates had already dropped out.

Our Military survived Clinton. Our Military can and will survive anyone, imo. I know many former and active military who can’t stand McCain and they may or may not vote for him in November.

.....of whom will be elected if my fellow Republicans continue to do all they can to destroy the candidacy of John McCain, (based for some on their anger that whichever candidate they were supporting failed to gain the nomination), will trash the military and will thus endanger the safety and the security not only of the United States, but also the world.....

GOPDiane,

I can't let your "conclusion" go unchallenged.... your assertion that those of us who DO NOT support McCain, do not do so because our candidate of choice (which does vary here in FR) did not win.....

If you take the time to read our posts over the past few years you will see that many of us here on FR did not agree on who the BEST candidate was.... however a great majority of us DO agree that McCain is NOT even on our "list" of acceptable nomminees.... the only reason McCain got the most votes was because the conservative base was split on our FIRST choice... consequently our LAST choice ended up getting the monination... this IS a problem, admitedly.. but one that CAN be fixed if Senator McCain chooses to do so...

FReegards,

David

AMEN and AMEN

I remember how bad it was for the military when bubba was CIC - and that was BEFORE the war with troops in harms way.

Now I have more family in uniform - in some of the most dangerous areas of the WOT - hardly a day goes by when not in a firefight with the Taliban. I fear for them if the Rats get in.

As it is, I believe that there would be little fighting by now were it not for the enemy aiders and abettors in Washington urging them to just keep up the violence to help them get elected and then we'll turn everything back to them.

I hope the egotistical JERKS that don't understand how vital it is to do everything possible - including voting - to keep these Marxists out of the WH - get the picture in time.
