Thank you!

Here in Oregon, there’s not much reason to vote in the Republican primary, unless one is in the 5th congressional district.

So, why not use my vote to make a little mischief for the ‘Rats. ;o)

BTW, I already have my form filled out to switch back to the Republican party.
It’s kinda creeping me out to know I’m a ‘Rat.

buuuuuuuuummmmmmmp !!

[MeekOneGOP]

Therefore I am left with the choice of who I will accept, given the remaining choices.

Yeah, me too.

If ya know any makers of industrial strength clothespins, lemme know. I'll be needing one for my nose when I go out and hafta vote for the McRINO.

:(

Why did I get lumped in here? I have never liked McCain. If I have ever said anything aout this election it was that I liked Rudy for his running of new york and being a law and order guy.

Research!

[GodBlessUSA]

You are so right Sonora. There is no choice but to vote for McCain. Unless something changes with who our candidate is before election day, we have to vote for him. He's not my favorite, but he certainly beats out the other 2 choices.

I do wonder how people can use the logic that after Carter we got Reagan. Where was the new Reagan after 4 years of Bill Clinton? There is too much at stake now. Too dangerous to allow one of the 2 anti-military, socialist candidate in office. It terrifies me the damage they will do in a short time. And right now they have the house. It's more than probable it will be at the cost of military lives. :(

Thanks, your logic also works for me. I cannot even imagine 4-8 years of Obama or Clinton during this period with all that America is facing. Life is all about compromise and 70-80% that McCain will more than likely deliver is, to me, a good bet versus the other option. Now, I can sort of understand the 100% crowd, but even Reagan granted amnesty with no border security. Besides, a 100% conservative would be hard pressed to get elected POTUS at this time.

I am in total agreement. 8 years of Clinton had a lot to do with 3,000 Americans getting killed on 9-11-01. Hillary and Obama are so incredibly weak on the WOT, that many of us may not survive for the "great conservative takeover" that is allegedly going to follow Obama or Hillary.

[Sonora]

Based on the fact that the country is now leaning left, a conservative takeover after a Clinton or Obama is doubtful at best.

I’ve been giving this some thought - it appears that the McCain conundrum as his serving as POTUS from a conservative point of view gets down to an avoidance of the facts as we know them to be at this time. It seems that a logical discussion of prior action and policy position facts must result in a conservative vote for McCain – there is simply no doubt versus other options.

The not voting option may get Clinton or Obama elected. If everyone plays, the result will be 70-80% on our favor – a win. Isn’t a compromise to secure that result worth the compromise?

[Marcella]

Thanks for your article. Will donate to FR today. I won’t vote for McCain, will skip that line on the ballot. Did the same thing in the primary in Texas as only McCain, Huck and Paul were left.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you, Marcella!!

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

You kicked the conservatives to the curb and nominated your RINO, now all you gotta do is get him elected.

BUMPed for Maximum Truth!!! ;)

[No Dems 2004]

Needlessly mean-spirited, Jim.

[Jim Robinson]

LOL. You should read the thread that prompted it. Something about McCain haters shut the hell up!

[El Gato]

Given that we’re likely gonna be stuck with one of them, what say ye?

If the Heller decision comes down "wrong", and added to this abomination of an "electoin" (I never go to vote for the cannidate of my choice, nor my second choice either, before "the process" took them out of the race) it may be time.

See tag line.

[El Gato]

Do I have a right to vote for whoever I want (or not)?

Sure, but the rest of us are supposed to at least get a shot at voting for our favorite in the primary. I, and millions of others did not, due to the rather bogus "process" the parties have created.

[El Gato]

Plus, no bills could get passed since they would all be a pocket veto and the commanders in the field could just handle things until the next election.

And they are going to get the funds to pay the troops and buy beans, bullets and bombs, just where?

[El Gato]

I won't flame a FRiend. My approach to this problem is to control McCain. He's arrogant and self serving but not stupid.

Smart don't lose 5 airplanes, thus becoming a "reverse ace". Sure one wasn't his fault, and another was a shoot down, so at worst only partly his fault. However the other three came first and would have been sure cause for him either never getting his wings, or losing them, if his father and grandfather had not been Admirals, his father a serving one at the time, and his grandfather an important piece of WW-II in the Pacific.

[BIGLOOK]

You're right on all counts, Cat. There was also the USS Forrestal fire somewhere in his history. While I was in the Navy, McCain was referred to as the 'Admiral's son' but not by name. A screw up that could do no wrong.

The clincher for me was his chair of the POW/MIA committee for the normalization of relations with Viet Nam. That was disgraceful.

Don’t tell me to shut the hell up. Most Republicans support McCain and we don’t need to get nasty about it.
