Many of us did have a great deal of respect for Thompson until he jumped in to support McCain. Quite a few Republican notables have destroyed their credibility on the alter of John McCain this year. I've written off every one of them. I'm not the only one.

We have followed John McCain's history for twenty years. It's a thoroughly disgusting history. Over the last ten years, it has gotten even worse.

I don't trust the man one bit. He prided himself in being a Maverick over the last ten years. Well John, this year I and many others are being Mavericks. I'm sure you'll understand why you don't get our votes.

Senator John McCain wants to be the figure-head of Conservatism. Okay, lets think that out...

John McCain becomes President. He's still the same old John McCain.

The RNC backs his liberal policies to maintain a position of power
The Republicans in Congress back his polices to maintain access to the White House
Republican candidates for Congressional seats move to the left, since John McCain proved that moving to the left assures RNC support and votes
The Republican party leadership at the state level moves left as McCain and the RNC demand it
Republican candidates at the state level move to the left, since John McCain proved that moving to the left assures Republican support and votes
Republican Conservative office holders across the nation will be silenced
Apologists on Conservative forums across this nation defend McCain against the few Conservatives who are left, and attack them there (forums move left)
Last but not least, the Democrats move even farther left to differentiate themselves from McCain

Who writes Conservative bills and rams them through state or federal government after that?

Who talks about Conservatism from a position of power? Who takes the chance to disagree with McCain on anything?

Under a John McCain Presidency, Conservatism ceases to become a movement, and becomes a theory. It will no longer be practiced by enough politicians to be viable.

Under leftist McCain, there is no functional opposition. Promoting leftist policy, it all passes without opposition, nobody objects to the liberal policies
Under leftist Hillary or Barack, there is not only a functional opposition, it grows by leaps and bounds in objection to their policies

We saw what a one party system did to Arkansas under Clinton. It was terrible. Now we want to install that in our federal government, leftists one and all.

No thanks. Color me dumb, but I'm not voting to turn the U.S. into 1980s Arkansas.

Folks, you either wake the hell up, or doom conservatism to oblivion. After November the 4th, it's too late. You will have silenced Conservatism in our nation for four or eight years, and quite possibly forever.
