I agree with you and this is the first time in 40 years that I will refuse to support someone who doesn’t believe in anything I believe in other than a strong military.
Where do we draw the line?.....keep voting for the lesser of two evils or should we make a statement and make the politicians pay attention?
I’m in a dither myself. I sincerely don’t know what to do and still be true to my values. You shouldn’t have a choice of holding your nose or not voting.
I've been taken to task repeatedly on this forum for my intention of not supporting McCain in the voting booth come November. At least that's my intention now; November is some time off.
This is a significant decision for me since I've voted straight Republican my entire life. But today I look at the political map and I see exactly what such blind obedience has gotten us. Today, if we had a more viable, conservative-friendly, candidate, I just might do it again. But McCain has shown such disdain for conservative ideals, has shown such willingness to work across the aisle, and has even (perhaps) considered switching to Independent, that I just can't find myself willing to be part of the "sheeple" one more time.
I fully realize what's in store should the GOP lose in November. But I also realize that McCain is running one of the dumbest campaigns I've seen, and the GOP is doing little to resolve the problems they face. Everyone tells me it'll be my fault should McCain lose and my vote isn't there. My reply is NO! It'll be McCain's fault because he's done nothing to give me a reason to vote FOR him. He wants the office? Great. He needs to show me why he should have it. And being the least of two evils is NOT an answer.
Come November, if he still hasn't convinced me, my position will not have changed, and I won't feel one ounce of guilt should my vote for President be absent.
