Voting for McCain is wimping out: it means that you will kneel before anyone who runs as a Republican, no matter how much damage to the conservative movement the particular candidate does.

During the primaries, voting for McCain at this point signifies one of two things (1) an attempt to prevent the only other viable remaining challenger -- Huckabee -- from getting the GOP nomination, (2) an acceptance that McCain is the most palatable of the remaining RINOs in the race, (3) a belief that McCain is the most "electable" of the choices, or (4) support of the "maverick" republican candidate. Since none of those was sufficient reason for me to vote for McCain, I cast my ballot early for Fred Thompson despite his premature withdrawal from the race.

In November, when it is McCain v Obama or McCain v hillary, voting for McCain means you care enough about the country to do whatever it takes to avoid seeing a president hillary or a president Obama -- even voting for McCain. After November we can start working on resurrecting the conservative movement.

btw, how did you even find this ancient thread? What was your previous screen name here?

No, sir.

Wimping out is sitting at home pouting because you didn’t get your way, and in doing so perhaps handing our country over to a socialist.

Shame on you if you are so self-centered that you can do that come November.
