The Republicans didn't vote for McCain. Cross over Democrats and RINO's did.
You may know how I feel, but unlike me you are not willing to vote AS YOU SHOULD. You'll follow the pack right off the cliff.
This has nothing to do with being "bitter" and everything to do with being FED UP with a choice between "slow death and quick". I choose life...
BTW, the two party system makes it impossible for someone who wasn't nominated to get elected. Just ask Joe Lieberman.
That may be true, but did they also vote for Giuliani, Mitt, and Huckabee? Those RINOs along with McCain also trounced Hunter and Paul in every state. The one or two conservatives in the race were never even close to the RINOs, and I can't believe enough Democrats crossed over to have caused that outcome. Also, many states such as FL don't allow crossover voting in primary elections, and IIRC the conservative candidates didn't do any better in those states than anywhere else.
We have to face facts, or at least I do, and a very unpleasant fact is that the GOP of today is not Reagan's party anymore. But the two biggies are the only game in town if you want to have a voice in who is elected at the national level. 1-1/2 million votes for a Libertarian candidate cost the Democrats virtually nothing because very few if any Democrats would vote for a Libertarian candidate to begin with. But the Libertarian nominee does hurt the GOP nominee because a significant amount of those Libertarian votes are usually cast at the expense of a RINO nominee such as McCain.
I hate having to vote for the lesser of two evils as much as anybody. But the lesser is still better than the worst, and Obama is by far the worst and most dangerous nominee I have seen in the 12 presidential elections in which I have voted.
