Yes and no it is what we’ve done.

Bush is still, regardless of what people are saying about him, a good President. He and the current administration has kept another 9-11 from happening here.

I believe he realized that it’s all well and good to kill terrorists on their own soil and a lot of the problems will stop, but I think he further realized that there has to be a fundamental change in the Middle East and it has to come from within, NOT from without.

Iraq is the one place that he can try to make those changes and hope they “stick”.

I don’t know WHAT McCain will do. I don’t think HE knows for sure what he will do about anything.

But - here’s the dilemma - What other choices do we have?

1) Obama

2) Clinton

3) Third Party

4) Write ins

5) Stay home and not vote.

6) McCain

So I can’t think of anything else, and yet there are people on this thread and others who are dead set against McCain, and I can’t BELIEVE they are all Conservatives with their heads up their rectums either. I have to believe there are a boat load of Dummie plants on this site shilling for anyone BUT McCain.

I never liked him much at all, in comparison to Thompson, or Hunter.

But, common sense will win out with me and I’ll vote for him in spite of the bad things you or others say because, well, look at the other five choices.

1) Obama? I don’t think so
2) Clinton? _ oh HELL no.
3) Third Party? That’s going to take votes from McCain and give them to the Dummies.
4) Write-ins? Sounds good in theory. But we all need to chose the SAME write-in and all the states have to accept write-ins, but they don’t.
5) Stay home? Gives votes to the Dummies.

6) McCain? Seems like, under the circumstances, it’s the LOGICAL, CORRECT thing to do.

Well, you can tell by my posts - I’m a huge conservative and have read and posted on FR(though I haven’t posted a lot)since 2004 and before.

I understand about 9-11 not happening again but these terrorist are waiting. There could be cells here (and IMHO very likely) hanging out in our cities just waiting. I’m sure many got here illegally and legally. THIS IS A MAJOR problem. To be protecting Iraq’s borders and NOT our own is UNACCEPTABLE and no matter what anyone says this is the MAIN reason I do not support the current President anymore. He also has NOT done anything to stop illegals or close our porous borders and that IS the President’s NUMBER 1 JOB. Also, the two Patriots sitting in prison cells in Texas for doing their jobs on the border, makes me want to up-chuck daily. So defend the President all you want (which is your right) but I cannot and have not for some time now. That doesn’t mean we should disrespect him but that also doesn’t me I HAVE to be behind him when I believe he is wrong (which at this point is 80% of the time)

As to what I will do in November.

I will either write-in or vote for the Constitution Party.
I have never voted other then Republican but I can’t not in good conscience vote for McCain and if this gets Obama in then the Republicans have only themselves to blame. Through the Myers debacle and the immigration bill getting slammed down - a message was sent to them for the last 3 years - and it has fallen on deaf ears — donations are down - Excuse me but if they don’t have a clue that they should be running on a conservative agenda then that’s NOT my fault... they should get a clue. I totally respect that you are going to vote McCain but I also have a right not to vote for him.
