I believe any of the 3 will hurt this nation.

"So your perfectly willing to let someone win if it could badly hurt this nation? I believe McCain wouldn't’t be a good president but I believe Obama could do major damage."

This concept is much too difficult for many to grasp. ;-)

2012 aside, we need to get as many seats back as possible in the interim in the House and the Senate.

The House seems to be the only real hope. The Repubs are going to take a real drubbing in the Senate. There have been several announcements of intending retirement by sitting Repubs with no real hope to keep their seats safe, from all that I've read.

Well, I had nothing to do with McCain ending up as the Republican nominee. Being a Pennsylvania voter, I didn’t get a chance to have a say in the matter. So given that the alternatives are Hillary and Obama, I’ll vote for McCain, but not with any enthusiasm.

I think both parties need to take a long hard look at the farce of open primaries and last-minute registration changes. Nominees aren’t being chosen by members of their own party, but by a wide-open free for all in which a candidate can easily end up getting the nomination courtesy of voters loyal to the other party, who view this candidate as the easiest to beat. Obviously this tends to result in nominees that nobody thinks are particularly good.

I see no reason why anyone should be allowed to vote in a party’s primary if they’ve been registered members of a party for less than a year. And requiring a monetary donation to a party in order to participate in its primary voting would help even more.

We have to destroy the Democratic Party and every communist/racist/freedom-hating principle on which it is based.

Does this really deserve a vanity? KIDDING! Just a joke :-P

I am so unmotivated to vote this year it's not funny. Even the Iraq War....that should be justification enough to vote for McCain over the DEMs. Good thing my polling place is close by, or else I might not bother. But I still do see the Iraq War as a cause to vote for McCain, even though all you say about him is true. Then again, I voted for GWB in 04, and he SIGNED McCain Feingold and he supported Shamnesty. So what are we to do?

Obama could do major damage. He is even more liberal than Ted Kennedy.

I believe Obama will do major damage to our military. He’s already said he will cut funding for missile defense. The guy is scary and will do major damage to this nation.

No bravos from me, Jim.

I was for Fred Thompson. When he dropped out I was for Mitt Romney.

John McCain was nominated.

As someone wisely put it elsewhere, “I held out for a true conservative in 1992 and got 8 years of Bill Clinton.”

You know that John McCain is for smaller government, cutting back on spending, keeping the Bush tax cuts, appointing judges like Roberts, keeping the country safe from terrorism and that he is anti-abortion.

We simply cannot afford even 4 years of the horrible, incompetent socialist Obama or the equally horrible Hillary.

I think it’s time we stop all the self-indulgent whining and clutching our ball as we head off to self destruct.

Just my ten cents.

Thanks for the heads up. No, I don’t support RINO McPain. He’s an adulterer and living off his wife’s money. He dumped his 1st wife while she was out lobbying for his release from Hanoi. A few years after his return, he dumps her at 43 and a month after the divorce he marries his 25 year old wealthy mistress, Cindy, who later becomes a thief and a drug addict. His stance on important issues stink to high heaven. No way in Hades am I voting for this creep. I detest him as much as I do osama obama & the hildebeast. I’d rather vote for myself if I can write in a candidate.

... No one who wants to close GITMO, opposes "torture" of detainees, leaves the border wide open, wishes to maintain our dependence on foreign oil by opposing drilling in ANWR, wants to keep us in debt to the Chicoms by continuing our onesided "free trade" policy and wants de facto NATO support for an Al-Qai'da base in the heart of the Balkans (called Kosovo) is genuinely serious about fighting the War on Terror.

Excellent points. I could add a few more but you did quite well enough.

Mccain is the worst choice ever, except for the other two.

We haven’t had a good President since Ronald Reagan. We won’t get one this time either.

Kind of like McCain is just so anti-Reagan in a large sense.

Whatever happened to the HOPE Campaign? Did they CHANGE that?

“McCain was able to pull it off. He was biding his time, waiting in the weeds when something happened. What was it??? “

The media for one of course. Then W. Virginia, where McCain didn’t win the primary (came in 3rd), so McCain gave his delegates to Huck which basically threw Romney out of the race.

“On the first ballot Tuesday morning, Romney was the leading vote getter, with 40.9 percent of the vote. Huckabee was second, with 33.1 percent. McCain had 15.5 percent, and longtime Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 10.4 percent.

Under the convention rules, the candidate with the fewest votes was knocked off the ballot, so that eliminated Paul.

Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, McCain’s representative at the event, then conceded defeat and asked McCain boosters to support Huckabee on the second ballot in order to block Romney.”

You're going to let a radio actor tell you how to vote?

1. I AM voting for McCain.
2. Rush is NOT an actor.
3. I decide for myself who I vote for.

Jim

I agree with your sentiments but....

What other choice’s do we have The Beast or Hussien?

Talk about a rock and the preverbial hard place.

McManiac supporters : KMA, you RINO lovers.

LOL. Here, you can probably use this to better illustrate your succinct and to the point expression.

 Attention McCaniacs - KMA!

Rush has never liked McCain. I bet he never endorses him. Rush is just smart enough to realize that the other two options would be far worse for the country. Everyone keeps talking about their principles... fine... choose the one that will keep your principles closer to you than the others.
