There is a certain amount of ironic logic in your points.

The election of a Democrat President could save the Republican Party from its takeover by John McCain liberals.

The election of John McCain will destroy any voice conservatives have in a major party.

If conservatives are to be disenfranchised, let it be by upholding principle against an enemy rather than by supporting a traitor in our own camp.

Trying to win at all costs is the sure pathway to hell. It will inevitably lead to a mountain of regret.

We cannot change the hearts and minds of the multitudes of the misguided.

Ultimately, we have to live with ourselves.

Life is not just passing time between elections. It can be more meaningful by holding something true and consistent inside yourself.

If the world is marching toward hell, do we have to follow?

In the long run, we are dead.

Must we die in shame?

That is so true.

My oldest (the one who is anxious to join the military) is very interested in this election. He has been asking me alot of questions about what I think about the candidates and who I like the most. I think it is important to show him that holding to the values you believe in and know to be true, is more important then just voting for someone who isn't a Democrat.

It will be him and his generation that will shoulder the burden of this elections results, and I believe it's better to do what is best in the long run, then show him it's alright to compromise your beliefs just for the sake of the Republican party.

As a Christian, I know that I will have to answer to God one day for my actions. I believe that even extends toward how I vote. I can't imagine the story I would have to give to excuse voting for McCain.

Along those same lines, the ultimate purpose of a Christian is spreading the Gospel of Jesus, not the gospel of the GOP or free interprise or lower taxes. Whether America is run by a Democrat or Republican matters less to God then whether a person has accepted God's gift of salvation through Jesus.
