I am suggesting this (or anyone's better idea) to try to keep my head from exploding considering the prospects for the next 4 years and beyond.

I want to suggest a way to send an irrefutable signal to him that we are voting for him as the least of the evils and NOT because we think he is the Conservative leader we had hoped for.

Voting for him based on the self defeating lesser of two evils losing strategy only begets more evil and a socialist President.

I respectfully suggest that if you vote for him in any manner he has every right to assume you approve of his positions .

I suggest this approach to putting forth a strong message to any candidate for public office.

First, set aside $100 for political contributions. $100 is an arbitrary amount. Set aside however much you think is appropriate for the good government of this great nation.

When the focal candidate promises or takes action that is in accord with the Constitution and laws as put forth by the people, send a $25 check to that candidate’s election fund. When the candidate does something that is harmful to our great nation, send an empty envelope with the message “This envelope would have contained a $25 donation had you not decided to work against this great nation. A donation is waiting for you when you correct your harm or do something good for the nation. Respectfully”

Dear Senator McCain: In light of your passion for Algore's Klimate Change Koolaid I make you this promise. Drop the Green nonsense or I will be happy to take a gas holiday on November 4, 2008 and avoid a wasteful trip to the polls.

You go on ahead and vote for him. I am tired of this little game.

McCain doesn’t care what you or any conservative thinks, he also won’t pay any attention to your pleas. He’s out courtin’ Indys and Hillary’s old shrews.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe that McCain is a real conservative.

Add to the list: a sane fiscal policy that prevents the government from simply printing new money because it spends too much. $9 trillion dollars of national debt is insane. Every year we spend over $250 billion dollars IN INTEREST. It is a suicidal policy especially when countries like China hold much of our debt. Plus, the creation of new money forces the dollar down, a key factor in rising prices (oil and gas anyone?), and one reason our economy is not progressing as it should.

The one thing I am wary of is “enforcing” treason and sedition laws. REAL treason needs to be punished absolutely. But it is important to remember that we have freedom of speech and that simply because we may find certain speech offensive or seditious, it is not treason unless the speaker knowingly gives information that directly harms the US. I say all this just because I think people get caught up when they perceive some left winger to be seditious. Good post.

McCain could not care less what you think. He apprecaites Hillary and hates conservatives like you.

Mark my words McCain is a traitor to conservatism. Screw him.

You and everyone else IMO will be wasting their time.The old bastard is liberal thru and thru and will screw us in an instant.I’d just as soon have the rat in office screwing it all up for four years and take it back with a conservative at the next election.Would you buy vegetables at market that were as F%cked up as any of these candidates?I wont.

If you vote for the man as a write-in rather than as a party nominee, I fear your vote might not count toward getting electoral votes for him. Not sure of how the law works on that, but at the very least you would seem to be leaving a loophole for Demonrat lawyers to exploit, a la Florida in 2000.

Saw McCain in Reno last week. He does not give a rat's a$$ what we think. His whole speech was devoid of action and sounded like a liberal forum. He only mentioned that he reached across the aisle to his liberal friends. Nothing about reaching around for conservatives. He looked limp tired and VERY OLD. Stumbled around even with the teleprompter in a few spots and made it very clear he does not want my help or the help of any conservatives. - even though he wraps himself in the Reagan mantle.

McCain would like to hear from you now.

My constituents are important to me.

My suggestion to get McCain’s attention.

Make your contribution check out to the McCain campaign and send it to a third party—— maybe Rush could be the third party. After the third party collects a substantial sum, the checks would be given to the McCain campaign. Maybe McCain would get the idea of our dissatisfaction with some of his positions. Its better than just sending the check to McCain with no message at all.
