And yet he looks like Barry Goldwater next to Barak Obama.

You won't vote?

There are a lot of things about McCain that suck, but what is the answer?

When Obama is choosing the next Supreme Court Justice, can I call you to say good job?

Who are the alternatives, and what are their chances?

I am not a big fan but I’ll be damned if I give the keys to the White House to Obama.

Unfortunately, it will be like choosing between the lesser of two evils.

I fell the people that aren’t going to vote may as well join rev. Wright in saying “God DXXX America!”

I understand that some people don't want to vote for McCain, which is fine with me. But this starts to remind of me what French did to the US prior to the Iraq War. They did more than simply staying out of US efforts. They actively tried to undermine and stab US from the back.

I'm aware I'll get many negative comments, but so be it. McCain is not my 1st choice. If the Dims doesn't run Obama or Hillary, I probably also wouldn't care who win. But, the country is at war, and Islamofacists tried hard to influence US foreign policy. Saying McCain is the same as Hillary, or even worse, Obama, is simply dishonest, IMO.

Don’t look at me. I voted for Fred.

That being said, in a two-party system,

and given that the next Prez will appoint at least 2-3 SCOTUS Justices,

I have to vote anti-Democrat. I can’t take the risk of waiting for 2012.

Just have to hope that “one term John” picks a solid VP who can run a conservative ship in 2013++.

I have 2:

1] Assault on the First Amendment with Campaign Finance Reform and his now wanting to outlaw 527s.

2] His continued pushing for amnesty and his still wanting Comprehensive Immigration.

I think of Obama in the Oval Office. I shake my head and get physically ill.

I think of Clinton in the Oval Office. I shake my head and get physically ill.

I think of McCain in the Oval Office. I shake my head and get physically ill.

Barr from the Libertarians? Baldwin from the Constitution Party? Maybe.

A senator should never be president; and the top 3 contenders are senators.

I agree with your reasons why not to vote for him. That being said, I’m still voting for him over Obama.

I have one reason for supporting McCain. He supports our troops in Iraq while Obama will force them to surrender.

Please don't let the sacrifices of our brave men and women be for nothing.

Bad behavior should not be rewarded - that is how the behavior gets reinforced and eventually becomes institutionalized. People basing their vote on the ‘lesser evil’ principle are essentially giving a signal that they have no absolute standard (only a relative one), and the party will take that and run to the left with it without any fear.

And the reality is that there will ALWAYS be an absolutely horrible Marxist anti-American sack of wet turds running on the Democratic ticket, and these candidates will get worse every year. You can bank on it. The excuse, “I would vote for a third party this time around just to protest how bad McCain is, but the Democrat candidates are HORRIBLE,” could be uttered in every future contest. Does anyone think the rats will ever nominate someone sane and pro-America?

So long as the Republicans have any success in running someone marginally better than the Democrat candidates, they will follow the rats left to tap the soggy middle. At some point, conservatives (even if only 10% of the population) have to take a stand and make it clear that their votes are not welfare entitlements of the Republican party - the candidates must be shown that they will need to WORK for the votes, and that perpetual leftward drift will result in the loss of enough votes on the right to throw the election.

If McCain indeed said he wishes to continue as POTUS and run in 2012 in the event he wins this November, then 2008 would be a good year to send a message, regardless of the Obamanation (because that Democrat garbage ain’t going to get any better). He’d need to pick a stalwart VP like Hunter, Tancredo, or Sanford and pledge to step down in 2012 in order to make his ticket BARELY palatable. Barely.
