The leadership of the Republican party has chosen McCain? Where are you getting that from?
Where did I say they have chosen (present perfect tense) anybody?
Hint: I haven't. I have said, and I have been saying, and I will continue to say that I will not vote for evil. Even for the proverbial "lesser of two evils". I am putting the Republican Party, and Republican Partisans on notice (for what little it's worth) that if they want my vote they better not nominate turds. I'm through eating turd sandwiches, and I'm not interested in "bogey-man" arguments.
Full stop, end of discussion.
