It is NEVER a good idea to hand victory to a socialist, NEVER. McCain has considerably more wooing to do of conservatives before I will openly and full-heartedly support him, but he is far, far better than the alternative, and I happen to like Obama very much. But I will NEVER betray the conservative cause, by conceding victory to a socialist.
Obama is so far left that there is as much or more of a difference between he and McCain, as there is between McCain and most conservatives' conception of an ideal conservative candidate. As we do not have the latter, I'll take McCain. Anything less is an abandonment and betrayal of all the conservative principles on behalf of which I have been working for the past 30 years.
You are betraying the conservative cause by voting for a socialist claiming to be a conservative since February 2008.
Don’t deny it. You know it.
People who hold their nose and vote milquetoast/socialist R because its an R have caused the dilution of conservatism in the first place. You encourage the practice. Congratulations, you are responsible for the death of the conservative movement.
The questions I have recently been asking myself: What will it take to regain the country if McCain is elected? What will it take if Obama is elected? The answer to the first one is “simple”: the voting booth. The answer to the second question? I just don’t know!
