[Madame Dufarge]

Actually voting for a McCain or a McCain like politician when the ideal conservative is not in the running, gives conservatives time to regroup and push rightward at the next available opportunity.

Wrong. A McCain victory will move the party even more leftward and send a message to other "Republican" candidates that crapping on conservatives is the way to go.

Let 'em hit bottom.

One should NEVER concede victory to a socialist.

Precisely. And that's why McCain will never get my vote. I refuse to put lipstick on a pig.

You can rationalize your decision not to support McCain all you want, by labeling him a socialist. Saying it doesn't make it true.

I care little for McCain. But I much prefer him to Obama.

BTW, McCain, the "maverick," has "crapped" on Republicans in general, as much as he has "crapped" on conservatives. So I disagree with your point.

Don’t bother. McCainiac’s heads are shoved so far up...

They can’t see daylight anymore. They worship him as much as dems worship Obamassiah.
