Ditto, here.
There are three reasons why I simply could not vote for McCain in November, no matter how horrible Obama is, if he picks someone like Ridge or Lieberman as his VP.
1. McCain is a lousy, marginal candidate anyway, who threatens to destroy the party.
2. It would demonstrate once more that McCain doesn’t give a damn about his base or about such basic conservative principles as the right to life.
3. It would demonstrate that the party RINOs are firmly in charge again, riding high and trampling on the base. Because whoever is picked as VP will likely be their next presidential choice, since McCain is a sick old man, unlikely to serve more than a term in office.
If we elect McCain, we need some assurance that the party will have a future. Otherwise, it would be better to stay home. And, whatever we decide to do, certainly many millions will predictably think that way and stay home.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A PRO-ABORT LIKE TOM RIDGE. NEVER.
Ditto. I have gone a long way from Hunter and Thompson to support McCain. I can’t stomach the thought of Obama as President. I plan to vote for McCain, but if he has someone like Ridge on the ticket he can blow it. I will NOT vote for Ridge or any other pro-Abortionist.
