Not voting in the general election is a vote for the dems. Is is nice to want the perfect candidate, but it didn’t happen. Those who have standards so high that they “can’t vote for McCain”, need to realize they are essentially voting for the dem when they stay home.

Our vote is not for us only, it is for our country and we must make the best vote and obviously it is McCain. Sending message to the GOP is a wonderful sentiment, but the aftershock of that will last for decades if Obama or Hillary gets in and appoints a bunch of liberal Supremes, etc. Don’t stay at home. We must overwhelm the dems with our numbers. We need everyone to get out and vote. We need the highest GOP turnout in history.

Not paying Peter does not make Paul rich. Not voting in the general is just that--not voting. It is NOT voting for someone else. SHeesh!

Perfect candidate? How about one of my top three? four? five? Uh-uh. Not this time.

Our vote is not for us only, it is for our country and we must make the best vote

Studying the results of past compromises, namely the inexorable shift of the Republican Party to the left, and the stripping of key issues from the platform, the result of voting for the lesser evil all this time has been, unsurprisingly, evil. Just at a slower pace. Only the refusal to continue tacit support to this process has a prayer of reversing it. Thus, I may well vote for "none of the above", in the interest of my country. Voting for a candidate who only embraces 20% of what I consider to be proper stances on salient issues is not a winning proposition for me, nor, I feel for may country.

We need everyone to get out and vote. We need the highest GOP turnout in history.

For a year on this forum and elsewhere, Conservatives have been telling anyone who would listen that they would not vote for a liberal. Y'all wouldn't want us to lie, now, would you?
