That is your decision...I have a problem...I care...not spelled cair, btw.
Nothing wrong with that; it's what we do here at FR. But let's look at your first post in this thread which is what unleashed most of the hostility in this thread:
Logic has nothing to do with it, it is purely personal and psychological. They told themselves at some point that they were the cat's pajamas because they were more to the right than McCain - many as early as the 2000 primaries - and to support him now in any way would be to admit some of their vitriol back then was uncalled for.
They will no more admit this than a cold war red will admit Hiss was a soviet agent. The reason is the same - personal statements of their own are on the line. The farther out they went in slandering McCain, the less capable they are of swallowing any of it and voting for him anyway.
It is a fool's errand trying to convince any of them. Just point out that no one need follow them and they are free to take themselves off in a huff and be as silly as they like. Simple. Also, it is so last week by now, nobody cares what they think.
What does that have to do with principles? It is nothing but a personal attack against those who dare to disagree with you.
