I viscerally dislike John McCain and I vowed many years ago to never vote for him for any office, for any reason. He has *continually* stabbed conservatives in the back for at least the last ten years. He’s a card-carrying member of Al Gore’s evil, anti-human, Stalinist Warmist cult.
Yes, he’s closer to us than Ubama or Hilldog. And yes, he would probably be a better choice, if the next four years was the only concern. Probably. But as far as I’m concerned, if there’s going to be an anti-conservative president, I’d rather it be a Democrat we can openly fight than a RINO we (and our Congresscritters) feel the obligation to defend and apologize for. Pubbies in Congress are more likely to fight a carbon tax if it’s proposed by Obama or Clinton than if it’s proposed by McCain.
Even if it doesn’t work out that way and Obama’s as much of a disaster as I expect him to be, I’d rather see a Democratic disaster for four years, and I’d rather see the rest of the GOP learn the lesson to never nominate this kind of moron again.
I’ll admit it’s a gamble, and I might be wrong. I won’t be spending any time insulting those who decide to support McCain, but I will defend my position from attacks. If McCain supporters want to keep up their tactics of insulting conservatives who aren’t on board I’m more than happy to reciprocate.
This is how I see it too. I doubt very much McCain can win-very bad candidate. Thus, this is the election we might as well hold our ground so we don’t have the same situation next time.
In retrospect, the conservative movement would be light years ahead had Gore won in 2000 (it also would have buried the global warming movement. A real conservative would have won in 2004, not GWB.
Also, had Kerry won in 2004, the dems would be very weak this election cycle, McCain would have crossed the aisle where he belongs, Hillary and Obama would be history and we would have a strong conservative this cycle.
It has to get worse before it gets better. Someday, hopefully soon, enough people will get fed up and rise up to do something. And it won’t take a majority to do this (remember the Revolutionary War patriots). Let it be the Dems who make it worse, not a RINO like McCain. McCain’s election will give repubs/conservatism another hurdle to jump and will delay the inevitable.
Our only hope now is to pray all scandals involving McCain are true and are brought to light before the convention. He will self-destruct and the repubs will nominate a true conservative.
What are your thoughts on the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court nominations? Do you really want hillary or Obama with that much power?
You hit it on the head with that sentence. McCain supporters and conservatives are two different animals. You can't be both.
I’m with you!!

These are my feelings too & many of us here at FR who will not give in to the republican party & vote for whomever the MSM decide should be our candidate.
I'm tired of the liberal media deciding for us!
I will vote for the congressional candidates next November & hope to put some more republicans back in office, but will not vote for President! This is simply a choice between all libs, there is no conservative running!
