I've been a Republican all my life. I first voted in 1992, and have voted Republican ever since.
National Review has it out that McCain is tossing out the possibility of a pro-choice running mate. My answer is: McCain will lose support of myself and most other pro-Life Republicans if he does this. I encourage members of McCain's staff to browse letters to the editors, blogs, and websites like FreeRepublic.com to gauge Conservative's reaction and understand the financial and vote risk with the wrong choice.
McCain did a great service to his candidacy at the debate this past weekend with his pro-life remarks. Any action that would dilute that stance will flat lose the election for him. As you can see by my record, I have been a long time financial supporter of Republican candidates and have worked many hundreds of hours campaigning nationally and locally. I have been withholding financial support this year until McCain makes his choice. Please don't let Conservatives down. You cannot win by picking up scraps of liberals. They already have a candidate to support.
Excellent! I hope others use my link in post #88 to contact McCain headquarters. Now is the time; even if this is a bogus issue. We can’t take that chance. McCain has got to be shown what such a dumb decision would cost.
