The GOP had two true conservative candidates in Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. Why didn’t they support them with their votes and their money?

Who knows? But, I'm a conservative first and chose to vote GOP only in so far as it promoted my values and principles. I'm not going to support a party or its candidate when they and he are nothing but "Democrat-Lite". Voting for that nasty old piece of work is something I cannot do.

Fair enough, but don’t blame the Republican Party for nominating John McCain. Blame all the conservatives who didn’t support Thompson and Hunter.
