People say Ill vote third party or Ill not vote Those are both ignorance speaking, and plainly put, stupid ideas. Not voting at all is uncalled for. Voting a third party (and I mean either democrats or republicans, liberals or conservatives) means a vote for the Other Party. As you stated this is a two party system, regardless... you must vote for your PARTY. McCain is right of Obama. Left of Reagan.
Palin balances things and the best part, shes pissing of the LEFT like you wouldnt believe.
Its time to step up to the plate, be a MAN (OR WOMAN!) and VOTE REPUBLICAN.
Your post is both equal parts ignorance, demeaning, and insulting to people of principle.
And I dare say it does nothing to convince anyone to change their opinion except to harden them in their position.
It probably makes you feel good for some ego driven reason, I don't know, maybe not, just me surmising.
That having been said, if you have spent anytime reading the founder's writings, you would know that they (maybe not all of them) felt it was the responsibility of the voters to vote for the person who represented them and their values and their principles and that there was no shame in voting for someone even if they could not win.
McCain is wrong on three primary positions that require conservative leadership:
1. Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
2. Global Warming
3. Embryonic Stem Cell Research
He is wrong on other issues as well with regards to a conservative position, however, for me, these are the deal breakers.
McCain can do the right thing on these issues and he gets my vote.
My vote is his to win or lose.
If he chooses wisely on these issues, I will work my heart out for him, if not, I probably will not vote for him.

McCain can win my vote if he outnumbers himself by picking a cabinet of people like Sarah Palin.
Hunter for secretary of Defense is a great place to start.

Let me say that you’re the one being “arrogant”.
Voting for a third party IS STUPID. And I’m QUITE familiar with the Founders’ various writings. I’ve read all of it, over and over.
I’m not demeaning anyone - but if you are too ignorant to see the facts in front of your face, then well, that shows your lack of education on the subject.
I really don’t care one wit about your opinion either for that matter, since obviously you didn’t read what I said and took my statements to imply something I did not.
I’ve been saying the same thing for months.
I don’t LIKE McCain. I Sure as hell don’t like Obama and wouldn’t vote for him on a bet. Nor Clinton. And Biden is a joke.
YOU and others who “pulled away” from the Republican party “because it left you” as the remark goes are wrong on several levels. Yes, IT DID go left.
NO you don’t leave your party, you CORRECT IT’S COURSE.
That’s the ignorance of your personal attack on me.
Shut the hell up
