No I will not do that.

Then you are part of the porblem.

If the race is between an backstabing RINO who is doing the GOP plenty of harm versus a Dem, I vote for a 3rd party and hope the GOP gets rids of the other RINOs.

...and you are misguided, as well.

They've done plenty of harm to the party and should NOT be rewarded with conservative votes.

...and you are also a necro (death-wish) conservative.

Your philosophy is why nutcase McCain is able to quack with impunity.

McCain's "R", just like a Conservative's "R" has equal weight if it means the difference as to which party controls the Senate. Right now, McCain's "R" (like Snowe's or Chafee's, etc.) allow conservatives to be Senate Committee chairman (instead of only ranking members) and set the Senate agenda, etc. Yes? No?

Eh. You go ahead and make excuses for the McCain's of the party. Just don't be surprised or bitch when they become turncoats like Jeffords. The rest of us will use what's called "critical thinking" when it comes to our votes. Principles, not blind loyalty.

McCain should be truned out of office. If I lived In Arizona there is no way I could vote for him. He is an enemy of the first amendment, an enemy of Bush and an embittered man who places his own bitterness above his party and country.
