"So to conservative boneheads out there, standing in the corner, pouting because your first choice isn´t the Republican nominee, it´s time you got over it."

SO you think that we're pouting because we didn't get our way, and therefore we're not voting for McCain?

Well, that may have been the case a few months ago, but for some conservatives like myself, I've been considering voting for him, and just for the very reasons you and others have espoused.

However, if pricks like the one who wrote this little article don't shut their condescending mouths, there will be allot of conservatives like myself who may decide that we are right after all, and let good ole John boy find his support amongst his liberal friends in the democrap party, of whom he has spent a life time in the senate, pandering to!

In other words, Don't tell me I have to support your choice!

I’m being told by family members that I am throwing my vote away. Of course, these family members don’t know what their values are established on.

We are still not voting for McCain no matter how hard you try to insult us.

Get over it....

I'm being told by quite a few FReepers on this thread that my stand is idiotic (they don't use the word, it's just suggested).

However, not one of them has actually debated the points through the use of God's word. They have yet to point out to me how John McCain's policies do not make him an individual who is responsible for the shedding of innocent blood.

Stand for what is right before God, for it is He that provides truth and strength.

Remember back in February and March of this year? Here in Colorado we had our precinct caucuses on Super Tuesday. Mitt Romney won overwhelmingly and the two individuals that voted for McCain were considered fools that everyone mocked.

Fast forward 5 months and everyone is telling us that WE are the fools for NOT voting for McCain. That is how pathetic it is when you don't adhere to God's standard - you are simply blowing about in the wind...

I am with you politicket.

McCain will not benefit from “my enemy’s enemy is my friend” mentality like so many neocons have.

Neither Obama nor McCain is prolife. Therefore neither of them will get my vote.

If you don’t vote for McCain, you are voting for Obama.

Yada, yada, yada,... Only for you is that Keyes is an egotistical nutjob who will not even pull in 0.1% of the vote. Even the anti-American whackjobs in the Constitution Party will beat him.

I don't. No one is holding a gun to my head, and that would just get messy.

The only thing which will entice me to vote Republican this time is a Conservative on the ticket for Vice President.

Nothing less, not a RINO, ont a liberalite poseur, but someone with a track record which shows they have a clue what the Constitution says.

Otherwise, I'll vote conservative on the other races and hope that someday either the Republicans get a clue that they still can't out liberal the Deomcrats and win, or a Party more reflective of my values emerges.

Either way, there is better than a 50% chance I'll be out here on an oil rig, and vote absentee anyway.

Greetings CottonBall:

However, I fear a true conservative VP wouldn't want to be associated with a McCain presidency.

Unfortunately, I believe you are correct. Why else would the GOP even dream of slating a liberal VP? So one has to wonder how many true conservatives may have told McCain: NO WAY Juan!

Cheers,
OLA

I noticed that you didn't reference scripture once in your rebuttal, like I had requested.

REally? That's Amazing. Read my reply. Did the second sentence tipped you off to my obfuscation?

No. The Bible doesn't speak of embryonic stem cells research.
My initial claim - supported by God's word - stands. Embryonic stem cell research is the shedding of innocent blood and is murder. John McCain supports that and will not receive votes from my family because of it.

Let us say your right and God finds government funded embryonic stem cell research a fiendish abomination. Never mind that government funding is going on world-wide and privately funded within the US now. Next year Obama or McCain will be President. My God wants to end the 1.2 million annual US abortions. Your God couldn't bend your heart and find compassion for them. Your uncompromising principles don't allow you to help keep them from being ripped to shreds or burned in salt water.

I noticed that you didn't reference scripture once in your righteous indignation.

That remains to be seen. If he is afforded national exposure, as in debates (for instance), I would have every confidence that you are incorrect. Don't count your Rinos before they've crapped...

“I’m not saying it wouldn’t be unpleasant, but think of what John Mccain will able to get away with simply because he’s a Republican.”

BINGO!

McCain has that ‘bipartisan’ history of getting democrat ideas enacted into law. Obama does not. There will be resistance to Obama from pubbies and even from dems on his worst proposals. MeCain will get them done with bipartisan support.

A question that I have is why aren’t any of McCain’s reaches across the aisle to get dems to get some conservative proposals enacted? They all seem to be to get leftist crap done.

As the election nears, I find less and less cause to vote for McCain.

Conservatives putting pressure on McCain and scaring the crap out of his campaign aides will be the best thing possible for the Conservatives who are staying with McCain and the GOP for President this year.

Anyone who supports a socialist like McCain is not a Conservative.

The theme of this article seems to be “McCain sucks less.”

Even Christians sin, that does not make them "no longer Christians", just wayward Christians.

I still hold out hope that a lot of these will return to the fold and will join us in voting for a Conservative Alternative as opposed to Scarface and Jug Ears...but it may take time and patience.

McCain isn’t the conservative candidate I wanted. Therefore, I’m voting for Obama to send a message to the GOP. Am I doing this right?

I won't be voting for McCain in November so much as I will be trying to make these people cry as though their "god" has died.

Of course, a McCain victory will bring a great SIGH across the land. And I don't mean the "sigh of relief".
