To the McCain-bashers on FR: does the phrase “cutting off your nose to spite your face” mean anything to you?

That’s exactly what you’d be doing by either voting for Hillary or Obama, or by not voting at all. Do you really want the Dems to win the White House just to prove a point?

I agree that McCain isn’t as conservative as I’d like, but apparently many other Republicans are perfectly happy with him, else we’d have some other nominee by now.

So what’s the alternative? Vote for a Democrat? Please!

Sit out the election? You’ll certainly hand the election to the Democrats then — I just don’t see the logic or reason in such a boycott . . .

Of course not, but the point is that it becoming very clear that the direction of the current GOP is as intolerable as that of the Dems.

If we have any chance at all to reverse this trend, we have to withdraw our support. - Now.
Otherwise they are both going to very quickly turn us into a steaming pile of a 3rd world nation.
At that time I will not care what party is in power.

False dichotomy. And "statying home" is not the only other option. There are down-ticket issues, but the top item will be blank on my ballot.

No matter who wins in November, there now stands ZERO chance of the democrats losing.
