Where did I say I liked McCain in any way?

My only reason for voting for him is that he will do less damage to the country than an unapologetic radical like Barack Obama. Do you disagree with that statement?

Look, we have no good choices in this election. My plan is to vote for McCain but not help him in any other way and to try to work on races down-ticket to elect conservatives.

Every second you spend trashing McCain is time you could be spending helping elect conservatives down ticket. Think about that.

I'm going to adopt it as my tagline.

Do you think the Conservative message and ideals are what should drive this nation? I do. I consider John McCain to be a spike in the casket of Conservatism. He sill not appoint Conservatives. He will not advance Conservative ideals. He will not advance Conservative policy. He will defeat Conservatism on all but one or two fronts. Even there he will reach out to Democrats to advance his Iraq policy. Oh he won’t do it up front. He’ll do it by cutting military budgets, or some other thing behind the scenes.

This has been the McCain modus operandi for the last twenty years. His voting record looks good, but his side deals, policy statements and reaching out to the Democrats almost exclisively, say otherwise.

This man will destroy Conservatism as a movement.

As bad as Obama is, Conservatism would thrive under his first term. The opposition would be fierce.

Under McCain, there simply wouldn’t be a vehicle to advance Conservatism. The party leaders, prominant elected officials and even state leaders would be forced to go left or be shut out of the process.

A McCain victory, would be a total disaster for the nation. Not only would the nation go left, the aparatus to turn it back right would be gone.

I vote for conservatives first. Party second.

For instance, I would support Zell Miller a Democrat over John McCain. Zell is way more a conservative than John McCain. I am a Conservative only. I don't care what party you are associated with.

Now I will support my Republican congressman in my district. Not because he is a Republican, but because he is a conservative. I will probably vote for Republicans on the ballot. Just not McCain.
