Are you going to vote in the November 2008 election no matter who wins the Republican primary?

[cradle of freedom]

I would like to know if you are going to vote in the November 2008 election even if your candidate does not win. Will you stay home if you don't like the Republican candidate?

Another thing that I have often wondered about is whether people actually stay home when they are disheartened. News commentators often say that some voters may have decided to stay home because they were not happy with the candidates. I think that is a mistake because even if you do not like the person at the top of the ticket you should at least vote for the other candidates. Have you every actually stayed home and not gone to the polls at all because you were not happy with a candidate?

[Always Right]

I vote Republican even if they run Mickey Mouse.

If only Mickey was running.

[West Coast Conservative]

Yes. Even if it’s Rudy or Ron.

[K-oneTexas]

Agreed. I normally vote Republican but Nov. 2008 can not be a stay at home year for Republicans. If Hillary (YECH!) or any other Dem Socialist is on their ticket I would have to vote ... otherwise I fear a landslide for the Dems and will be likened to FDR's.

I'm not enthralled by all Republican candidates, especially Rudy. Paul, NEVER. And even McCain, who I have liked before, has just stepped to far over many lines ... blurred them. I would have to vote but can not in good conscience vote for Rudy. I'm not a Rockefeller Republican kind-a guy.

Something needs to unite us around a candidate that may not be perfect but be the best conservative in the field ... which I think will be able to draw conservative Dems too. It's our only hope. Otherwise, as I said, if Republicans stay home they can bend over and kiss not only the election but I fear the Party good-by ... and as an extension the country also.

[Revolting cat!]

It ain't me, babe!

[svcw]

And you will most likely win the stupid sticker.

[Joann37]

I will vote for the Republican, no matter who it is.

[JRochelle]

I will never lower my personal moral standards enough to vote for the likes of Rudy.

NEVER.

[kidd]

Yes.

If its Rudy as the GOP rep, I won’t be voting for either of the two major parties.

[Eagle74]

I support Fred, and if he isn’t the nominee, then I most likely won’t vote. When the 2006 elections put the Republicans in the wilderness, I thought it was a good thing, and that maybe they would learn something from it. I was wrong, as the recent amnesty, ear marks, and airport bathroom scandals have shown, the Republican leadership is still too elitist and politically tone deaf.

[G8 Diplomat]

Sorry, if Rudy’s nominated, well, A.) Catholics don’t vote for abortionists, B.) It won’t make a difference here in liberal Maryland, the Rats always win it, and C.) Gimme a break, I’m 18, this will be my first election. Gimme some time to think about it, capeesh? This is a tough one to have as your first one.

[Paperdoll]

Of course!

[svcw]

Actually, I do not think you will have to. They will all be here shortly, remember RP does not think they are our enemies.

[Sybeck1]

Ask again next summer.

[Graybeard58]

I made a promise to God that I would never vote for a candidate who supports abortion. Trotting out a bogeyman shaped like Hillary will not cause me to violate my wedding vows or my pro-life eternity.

That's two of us.

[Theresawithanh]

Put me down for an emphatic YES. I’ll vote no matter who gets the nomination.

[incindiary]

Check this out.

If the election is a LIBERAL RUNOFF--I will either stay home or vote third party (mostly likely can't stay home and will vote third party).

I don't vote for liberals period. If the election is a LIBERAL RUNOFF--there will be only one party that is UNITED,,,,with an ENERGIZED and FIRED UP base. (Hint: It won't be the GOP). If that happens, I hope the Rudy-Apologists enjoy Hillary,,,because I could care less).

If you want to abandon and sacrifice traditional, core, bedrock, conservative principles and values while destroying the ‘Conservative Identity’ of the Republican Party--a LIBERAL BULLY like Rudy is the RIGHT MAN AT THE RIGHT TIME!!!!

[JRochelle]

It would be better to have Hillary until she is impeached and thrown out of office than the destruction of the Republican party for decades.

[shield]

Always vote the party...Whomever receives the Republican Nominee...you bet I’ll vote for him. If people would’ve gone by this rule we’d not ever had those criminals in the WH...however, people can be stupid!!!

[aimhigh]

With Gulliani vs Hillary, I'd probably skip the vote.
If Hillary wins, we get a Republican congress in 2010.
