I don't care; we've elected presidents without you before and we'll do it again.
I don't recall saying that I am not voting Republican in 2008. I simply said I will not vote for one who does not represent my views. If you were really so concerned about putting a Republican in the White House you would put a conservative on the ballot, other wise the base won't vote for them. Good luck winning with a candidate that isn't endorsed by the NRA or other influential conservative groups. People who think like you are the ones who really damage the party. Most Americans don't have an irrational loyalty to candidates based soley on their political affiliations. They vote based on what is important to them. Michael Bloomberg Republicans do not fall into that category.
