Jeff, I have been working Republican campaigns for over 50 years, and this is the FIRST time, in all those years, that I don’t have a candidate, that I have enough confidence in, to vote for.

McCain is mentally unstable, Huckster is not, in any way shape or form, qualified to be President, and Mr. Romney will probably not be an available choice.

Now, do you, finally, grasp the gravity of the situation?

My last best choice is not voting. Now, for a person who has not only voted, but participated (and invested) heavily in the election process for a looooong time, this is a very bitter pill indeed.

It has become apparent, after the last 2 losing election cycles, that AFTER the loss many well intentioned cheerleaders crawl out of the woodwork. That’s great, glad to have them, but where were they BEFORE the election, you know, making the calls,going door-to-door, doing the research, going to meeting, etc.?

Are you pro-life or pro-abortion?

If you’re really a conservative, you should consider that topic to be enough to vote.

Your rationale is viable considering we’re in the primary, but to sit out the general election is to vote for the Dems.

It’s not necessarily who you’re voting for; it’s who you’re voting against. I’m voting against whoever their nominee happens to be.

Sing,

Yes, I grasp the gravity of the situation.

The Republican party is in absolute shambles - a condition that it largely inflicted upon itself.

The Republican party as a whole has almost completely abandoned true conservatism. I offer the Bush administration as Exhibit A.

I sincerely hope that true conservative ideology can once again triumph in modern political discourse. Until then, I will vote pragmatically - McCain (who by the way is actually more conservative than Bush)
