The question is not which candidate will do more harm to the conservative movement, it is which candidate will do the most harm to the United States of America.

Democrats are the ones who repeatedly put party before country.

If Obama was not the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter (well, minus the honesty), it might be worth sitting this one out.

I’m not happy about this but I’m sure not going to stand with my hands behind my back in order to let President Obama lay ruin to our country.

Hey guys, there is a muslim, military-hater, white-hater, Hamas supporter and big taxes supporter who is the frontrunner of the Democratic party.

His name is Barack Hussein Obama.

So if you don’t mind if I ask you to close you eyes, shut up and VOTE FOR MCCAIN to avoid Osama Obama in the White House for the next 4 years.

Because if you don’t support McCain, your lovely conservative candidates won’t be able to take back the country anytime soon because there won’t be any country to lead anymore.

Obama makes Carter seem competant and wise.

The choices are limited.

1. McCain
2. LP/CP (Barr, Keyes)
3. Zero

If I ever once saw the middle two do 2 things, they’d be more appealing to me:

a. get rid of their isolationist take on the constitution

b. show dynamic activity in the building of a conservative party.

They’ll never do the first, and they don’t worry about party-building except at election time.

Therefore, my choices are McCain or Zero.

I would vote for McCain but he rejected my endorsement after I declared Islam to be a violent religion. : )

Yup. Supreme Court picks, congressional elections, and the WOT trump the bad smell that will come out of the voting booth after I pull the lever for McCain.

But, what I will not do is vote for John McCain in November.

Then you may as well cast your vote for one of the other two idiots.

Then piss and moan about how they weren't "really" elected.

McCain ain't nothing to write home about, but he's a damn sight better than the alternatives.

And a third party candidacy ain't going nowhere.

I don't care if it's Bob Barr, Ron Paul, Fred Thompson or whoever the hell it may be, they will not, I say again, they will not carry enough votes to do anything but ensure the election of whichever idiot nitwit the dimbulbrats put forth this time, be it Hussein or the Hildebeest.

The arguments FOR holding your nose and voting for him are good ones.

1) The only candidate left who understands the threat that the islamoscum pose.

2) The only candidate who will not turn a victory in Iraq into a defeat.

3) His vows to appoint conservative judges.

4) His vows to cut spending, earmarks, pork, and subsidies.

5) He does not hate America and its history.

6) He is pro-nuclear power.

7) He is generally anti-abortion.

All very important and all issues where he is monumentally superior to the socialists (dems).

Of course, we must weigh that against the negatives:

1) He is far more likely to get Amnesty passed than a democrat will. And he has every intention of doing so.

2) He is far more likely to get global warming legislation through than a democrat (he is a coauthor of the current legislation). The extreme harm this boondoggle will cause cannot be overstated.

3) He will be the leader of the ‘conservative’ party, the GOP, and take it decisively leftward.

4) His record on the 2A is not very good (better than the dems, but still not good).

5) He is far more likely to get additional restrictions on the 1st amendment (via his beloved 527 regulations) than a democrat.

6) He most assuredly will close Gitmo and end ‘waterboarding’, which shows a very unhealthy ‘respect’ he has for world opinion versus our national interests.

7) He has lately been going along with the Democrat/Huckabee line about the US having an arrogant foreign policy and we need to listen to our allies more.

8) He is far more likely to get the LOST passed into law than a democrat.

9) He is far less likely to lift a finger to improve the climate for manufacturing industries in our country than any of other GOP candidate that ran for the nomination.

10) He will continue to kneepad for the chinese communists, as he has done for years.

11) His ACU rating has been in a downward spiral for the last decade.

12) He has not proposed the elimination of a single Department, agency or bureau that I can recall.

13) He takes the democrat platform to heart on the issue of oil extraction in ANWR and the coasts.

14) He is, without a doubt, a globalist.

15) He is far more likely to get funding for embryonic stem cell research through than a democrat.

Exactly. The world is still dealing with the damage done by one term of Carter. McCain has my vote.

God, I’m sick of these articles. You don’t want to vote for McCain? Fine, don’t. Some of us could give a rat’s ass why you won’t.

RINO McPain—No way. Islamist osama hussein—Perish the thought. Hildebeast—Doesn’t bear mentioning. Barr—See Hildebeast. Given that my vote won’t change anything and the very poor quality of candidates, I’ll be voting on the local issues and a couple of state representatives but nothing in the presidential.

I fail to se what he’s so charged up about. McCain used the words “comprehensive immigration reform” instead of “constructive dialogue and solutions that reflect a compassionate approach and the needs of our economy.”

Same thing. I’d say this article is a tad nit-picky.
