You put up the guy who has the best chance of getting elected. Period. End of story. It’s politics, not Sunday School.

Well...you've got no chance without support from the conservative base. Abandon us and we abandon you. Besides, I can't believe ANYONE would sell out their principles just in order to win. No wonder this country is in the shape it is in.

If you want to whore yourself out for a win, go right ahead. If you want to ensure the GOP is no longer grand, go ahead and compromise. Supporting McCain tells the RINO power brokers that we will compromise our principles for the win and sell out our conservative principles..and in the future they can send us anyone they want and we will get in line (just like the dems do).

I won't do it.

I’m sure that a lot of Germans felt that way in the 1930’s.

If your goal is power, that IS what you do.

We are electing our representative, the standard-bearer of our party. If that person is 180 degrees out of sync with what he is supposed to represent, then what have you done except prostitute yourself for power?

Then it looks like you f'd up because McCain has virtually no chance of getting elected.

Nice work.

You are the embodiment of why I wish JimRob would update FR’s code a little and add features like an ignore list.

You actually think McCain is the most electable person on the Republican side this year? Are you NUTS? Wait, yes you are.
