Unfortunately not voting for the Republican *IS* a vote for Hillary or Obama. Math is funny that way.
If it does come down to McCain and Obama, and you don’t vote, the result is you’re giving two votes to Obama by your obstinacy.
Right, meant it for Robbin. Sorry JaneNC.
And, I think he is less beatable than Hillary. Still, I think I’d write in a vote if McCain is the nominee.
>> Now Ive said over and over on this forum that I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again, because our evil gets more evil every election because we keep voting for them.
So you’ll vote for the greater of two evils?
That doesn’t make much sense.
Overall, regardless of my personal feelings for McCain, the country would be better off with a President McCain than a President Obama — so I would vote for John McCain.
On the bright side (as a conservative, I prefer optismism) — there are some not insignificant issues on which John McCain is absolutely right — namely the War on Terror, Iraq and National Security. And, though he’s a little shaky on taxes — he’s not so shaky as to be as offensive as Obama.
Everything that’s doctrinally wrong with John McCain is equally wrong with Obama ... and in every area McCain is right, Obama is wrong. John McCain has SIGNIFICANT problems — but he’d be a long shot better than Barack Obama.

America is screwed no matter who is elected. America may never pull out of it. I would rather a dummycrat took the blame. The 8 years of bush will be just a less steep part of the downward slope.
I agree. The damage those two forces would inflict on this nation would be irreparable. I think he would be such a disaster in office that he would be single term, but in that time we would see shamnesty become a reality, national universal health care, higher taxes and the same economy that resulted from the Carter years.
In addition, I shudder to think how terrorists will be emboldened by what I perceive to be his pacifist approach to dealing with al-Qaeda and despots like Ahmadinijad.
I know he said he’d invade Pakistan if terrorists were there; however, I think that was bluster just for show.
I have nothing against the man personally; I simply do not like his policies, his lack of experience or his approach to the War on Terror; however, I know that the Moonbats will tell me I’m a racist.
3rd party or absent.
Bottom line: Your vote for Obama is a vote for the murder of millions of innocent babies.
All the republicans have already dropped out of the race.
Amen to that. Does anyone think Clinton won't pounce on McCain when he tries to cover his weaknesses on economic issues by talking about his military service? And does anyone think the general election debate moderators, much less network pundits, will give McCain a pass on his evasions and distortions? Not likely.
Hold your nose and vote for McCain.
If hillary gets in, look for a movement to allow Bill/Hillary to serve multiple terms (like FDR).
We don’t want a Jimmy Carter economy and international whimp status. Even though that gave us Reagan, I think there are too many Socialists/Communists today. If the economy folds, they will want MORE government control.
I Agree! Its like voting against both Hillary and Mcpain!
U know Obamas not going to win anyways.
I’d vote for McCain ONLY if Osama is the Dem candidate. Otherwise, if it’s McCain and Hellary, I plan to sit it out, because I really don’t see much difference between them and they’re both nasty, ugly people.
If it is McCain or Obama I will not be voting.
If conservatives are going to write someone in, it might be a good idea to have some general agreement as to who it would be, so that it would have the greatest impact.
