I would not cross over to vote for likeable socialist Obama, but definitely considering 3rd party.

[Grunthor]

3rd party, and I’m no longer considering it. I am just doing it.

[C210N]

This Republican voter is DEFINITELY crossing over to vote Democrat this November. I much prefer the democrat to the two Socialist/Communists/Alinskyists that he is running against. McCain, the democrat, has my vote.

[Vaquero]

I can no longer consider voting third party for the following reasons:

[Redcloak]

This isn’t the time to fart around with 3rd party protest votes. We’re at war.

[Camel Joe]

I changed my voter registration from “Progressive Lite”, formerly the GOP to Conservative. I suppose you could call that 3rd party. In all honesty Democrat Zell Miller has given the best Conservative speech I have heard in the last 8 years from anyone anywhere. What does that tell you about the new Progressive Lite Party, you know the former GOP.

[Reagan Man]

A third party that advances conservatism would be the ideal home for most rightwingers. So far, there is no credible movement to create a viable “Conservative Party” right now.

For 2008 the choices conservatives have today are crystal clear. The last thing America needs is a POTUS and CIC that is named either Hillary or Obama.

[SatinDoll]

As much as I hate what happened, with McCain virtually shoved down our throats, the thought of that communist Obama ensconced in the Whitehouse is so revolting that I will hold my nose and vote Republican.

In his autobiography, Dreams From My Father, Barack mentions Frank, a mentor who was a black poet from Chicago. This person has now been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a known Communist Party USA member and activist from Chicago, Illinois. That is why Obama ended up in Chicago after college - he had contacts there among the Black political apparatchiks thanks to Davis.

Like it or not, someone is going to be Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces. Sure we want a Patton, but right now, let's just work to keep out the ones who would stab our troops in the back (Hilldog, Obama.) No matter how much I don't like McCain, I will not hand our young men and women in uniform Hillary or Obama as their commander. Anyone who is considering crossing over needs to go to Walter Reed and apologize now for the choice they are making.

[JoJo Gunn]

An honest one.

[Kolb]

I’d consider voting 3rd party if there were a viable candidate with true conservative principles that had a chance of actually becoming POTUS.

I don’t see any.

[ari-freedom]

Careful as you may get what you wish for

[Swordfished]

So you’ll vote for a Commander-in-Chief who’ll open our borders, dissolve our sovereignty, and stomp on the rule of law? There won’t be an identifiable country to defend if McCain gets his way. Maybe a Mexico 2.0.

[Camel Joe]

We are in a war that you cannot even see, what does it matter who your enslaver is so long as the yoke of oppression hangs around your neck. I am being asked to forgo my Liberty for the sake of security and I for one will not go along quietly. I believe our Founding Fathers had something to say on that subject... Look it up!

[nmh]

Definitely looking into a third party.

The GOP has LEFT me!

[CzarNicky]

I plan to vote for Hillary in the primary but will probably vote for McCain’s VP choice in the general.

If you don’t vote for the party that represents your views, you will have wasted your vote.

[Rob112586]

Are we? And really, just starting Wilsonian nationbuilding efforts has little to do with national security if in the next breath you advocate open borders and kid’s glove to the legit terrorits at Gitmo.

Having said that, I’ll only vote third party if there is a worthwhile candidate. Voting third party out of protest is as stupid as voting GOP because of past allegiance.

[McKayopectate]

What good 3rd Party is there? I won’t go for Constitutionalists because they don’t support the War on Terror, and from the sounds of it would remain Isolationists in all cases. What GOOD 3rd Party is there.

Not that I’m happy with the Republicans right now.
