The Republicans didn't vote for McCain. Cross over Democrats and RINO's did.

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.

Even less reason to continue to vote for them. If being "socialist-lite" is all we can expect from the GOP, then screw them. They don't deserve to exist any more then. This Country already has 3 Parties (Dems, Greens, CPUSA) that are overtly Communist.

No need to continue to support the GOP's slide in that direction.
