No one is abandoning our children.

Staying home on election day, voting for a candidate no longer running, voting for a turd party candidate, or voting for whichever of these two liberal traitors is tantamount to abandoning our soldiers fighting for our freedoms. You may not like McCain (with good reason, as I'm not happy with this choice either), but compared to who our alternatives are he is the best choice at this time. If either Hitlery or Obama are elected they will gut our military, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq, and abandon this war, giving our enemies every reason to again believe that we are weak and not willing to go the distance. This is unacceptable IMHO, and crying about losing and taking home your marbles is not an answer. As strong as McCain's negatives are, they are nothing in comparison to the negatives that we'll face with Hitlery or Obama. I stand by my original comment.

No need to argue, but I am not voting for McCain and I stand by my comment that I am not abandoning anyone at all. - Nor is any other principled voter here.

We have survived 8 years under a clinton and a simple fact of election math is that what you and I do is not going to change the defeat that McCain is going to suffer in November.

The democrats have the Republicans outnumbered and outspent, the base is fractured over many issues, certain areas have trended blue, massive numbers of Latinos are voting, and if you, sir, are waiting on the so called “moderate” or “independent” voters to rush in and save McCain, then you may as well prepare very thoughtfully about supporting the downtickets and start preparing to say Madam President Clinton for the next 8 years.
look at the electoral math

McCain was the dream ticket for the Democrats.
Nobody could have aided their cause and their agenda better than the Manchurian candidate, the GOP has gone sharply left,and I will not support this. - but I understand your points.

Again, thank you for your postings and the opportunity to reply. - Bill
