Turning the country over to socialists (Hillary or Obama) is losing. I will not participate in that action and exercise my vote against it. I will not effectively create a stronger Dem Party or help to weaken even further this two party system. One majority party is not an option.
For me voting other than the GOP is doing just that, participate in the giving away of the country. I don't need to hear about ceremonial vote to let someone I'm not pleased with them. I realize that the Dems have more registered voters than the GOP. This battle has always been there, GOP has been the smaller second party for years but worked to attract others with the issues they chose to defend.
I believe that giving a vote to a 3rd party candidate who may or may not even be on the ballot in all 50 States is for me - not a viable option. Sitting at home for me - not a viable option.
McCain can be controlled by having elected officials willing to speak and vote in accord with conservative ideals/principles in the Senate and House. By having an electorate willing to send emails and make phone calls when elected officials act against those ideals/principles they hold. This we have seen work.
I still believe in a GOP that can be ... cause no other party can make a difference in the short term of 2010, 2012 and 2018. I will vote for the GOP even with McCain in the front seat. I will try to keep what conservatives I have here in Texas in office. None of them are totally perfect. Last perfect person around, that I know of, died on a cross aver 2,000 years ago.

That statement is so true. One of El Rushbo’s undeniable truths of life.
