I don't care. McCain became my enemy back during the Clinton administration when he was the only Republican to endorse marxist Clinton nominee Anthony Lake for Director of the CIA. I fought with him over it and I won, thank goodness. Lake withdrew his name after Sen. Shelby subpoenaed people to testify about Lake's Marxist leanings.
Since then McCain has pulled more liberal, Democrat agenda promoting stunts than I can count. McCain-Feingold CFR is unforgiveable. As is his collusion with the Democrats to stop good court nominees. And his calling me a racist and other such nonsense because I want the borders secured and our laws upheld...well...he's done everything in his power to keep me his enemy.
I can't vote for him under ANY circumstances. He's made sure of that. It's not a matter of him not being conservative enough or whatever. It is a matter of him nearly always being on the wrong side of every issue that I've supported.
If he is the nominee then the GOP deserves precisely what they've asked for - a Democrat administration in the White House for the next 4 to 8 or more years. And I will, the day McCain is nominated, become an Independent and leave the party that I've supported for two decades (Precinct Committeeman, State Delegate, GOP Club President, Volunteer, Campaign Worker, Donor, Fundraiser, etc.) Rather, the party will have left me.
And the day that Free Republic comes around and supports him is the day that Free Republic will have lost every shred of credibility that it has ever held. It was on FR that the effort to impeach John McCain was launched. The founder of FR considers McCain a "treasonous bastard", among other things. Yes, Obama and Clinton are the enemy. But so is John McCain.
Well said and well summed up.
“And I will, the day McCain is nominated, become an Independent and leave the party that I’ve supported for two decades”
I’ve been an independent for many years now and don’t regret registering out of the party one bit. They left me long before this.
