Whatever your INTENT (feelings) in punishing the party or its nominee, the RESULT (an Obama or Clinton presidency) is wholly unacceptable to those of us who have lived through these kinds of dangerous fools. Either would be worse than a first Clinton presidency or even a Carter presidency. Some might say it would be a return to a Woodrow Wilson presidency, although I personally have no knowledge of how bad THAT was.
You have the power to preserve our nation and its honorable military, or you can throw these away by not doing everything you can to stop the destruction that the Democrats will bring. Yes, it IS that important. Vote, don’t vote, I don’t care. But if you assure the return of the Clintons to the WH or an insufferable, America-hating vacuum, then don’t bellyache to me about how you didn’t have a Republican perfect enough to meet your exacting specifications.
You do not have a monopoly of having "lived through these kinds of dangerous fools." I HAVE lived to regret offering my support to Arnold Schwarzenegger in California which I did on the same premise you now urge upon me for rationalizing an embrace of YOUR particular Rino. As a Californian, I have experience "living through" another variety of dangerous fool.
Your entire premise is built on false assumptions that you come to by way of blind fear and a certain kind of obstinacy that, incidentally, I have observed in my past 50 years to be a trait much more pronounced in vegetarians than meat-eaters, seriously! I Example: ... don’t bellyache to me about how you didn’t have a Republican perfect enough to meet your exacting specifications.
I you really believe that I and others like me have "exacting specifications," you are at best minimally informed and naive, and at worst stubbornly self-deceiving. But I don't think you "believe" any such thing -- I think that you, like dairy bulls, hippopotami, Adolf Hitler, Jeremy Robbins, and other of the world's most blatant example of vegetarian bull-headed obstinacy and aggression -- are simply and willfully wearing blinders because you can't admit alternative views.

Like the bull you emulate for what you think are Biblical reasons, you are being led to see red by your fear of Clintons, and being misled by it.
"Intent" is a very different thing than "feelings," and "punishing" is ONLY representative of how you interpret the result, just as a dog thinks he's being "punished" when his master leaves him at home while visiting a relative who's alergic to dogs.
Irrationality reigns with you.
Everyone is upset now, but I think in November, when folks are faced with the real possibility of a Hillary Presidency, they won't be so resolved to sit it out.
I despise McCain and thought his candidacy would be "mouldering in the grave" by now. Sadly, he looks headed for the nomination. Defending the country is crucial and that's about the only issue where I trust McCain. He will be markedly better than the democrat on this point. I too will seriously consider voting for McCain in the general, if that is the choice.
