Boy, do I ever hear ya.

It just seems ludicrous to me that nearly every conservative, and most Republicans are sickened by McCain, yet we are all just going to stand around and let it happen?

Crikey, this could be the second loss by Dole for all we know. Couldn’t come at a worse time in history, either.

I don’t know, maybe we ought to start throwing some ideas up on the wall and see what sticks. Possibly start an online “people’s vote” where folks could register their choice for President.

Start off with an open period, where anyone’s name can be tossed in the ring for consideration. Close that after a pre-determined length of time and tally up the list of the top ten. Then start the voting process.

Let the vote run for a week, then pick the winner from that. Do what we can to mobilize the “voters” to bombard the Republican party with its demands that they nominate the “people’s choice” for president at their convention.

Naturally, that’s just a rough idea, but you get the drift. I just think that with so many dis-satisfied Republicans voicing their disappointment over McCain on every conservative forum, there ought to be something that can be done. The people clearly do not support McCain in anything approaching widespread acceptance or agreement.

You keep right on thinking that way and start talking to all of your friends. The internet has democratized many things and I have the deep seated suspicion that party politics is about to be added to that list. The present system of rewarding the senior party warhorse with a run for POTUS and expecting all of the party members to fall in line lock step behind him regardless of his voting record is at or near it’s end and the RNC has until Tuesday November 4th to figure it our or be left in the dust bin of history. It’s amazing how they can be so blind to what’s about to befall them ! ! !
