52-46.
The only people around here stabbing conservatives in the back are the RINOs. Even giving Libertarians 2% of the vote—a stretch, according to the anti-Libertarians around here—guess what? MCQUEEG lost this one because of Bush and because of a porkbarreling Republican congressional delegation. Not libertarians.
“The only people around here stabbing conservatives in the back are the RINOs.”
And those on FR who convinced many of us to vote “party over principle” and pull the lever for candidate we KNOW is no conservative. And look at the result!
The TRUE wasted votes were for McCain. If we had voted for the third-party candidate, who actually espoused our limited government values, at least we would have sent a message to the GOP (and to each other, fwiw).
The GOP offered us George Bush and John McCain, neither of which is a conservative. They became drunk with power after we put them in control in 1994....they have BECOME what they ran AGAINST, only worse.
Eff! the GOP.
I will vote party over principle no longer.
The republic may rise again or it may fail altogether, but you will never again find me supporting a candidate whose platform includes weakening the Constitution. War hero or not.
And as for those who so desired to see Democrats defeated that they were willing to vote (and convinced other conservatives to vote) for “Socialism-lite” John McCain...may history be kind to you and your treachery against the founding principles of the once-great nation.
All along you have been working for the enemy.
Eff! you, too.
