Seems to me a tougher moment for you must have been when you realized Barry was busy cheating Hillary.
Don't evennnnnnnnnnn get me started. I'm still bitter. Luckily, I have my guns and religion. :)

Hillary was my first choice. She will probably be my first choice for a long time to come. If it came down to her and Palin, Edwards, Romney, Guiliani, McCain, Obama, etc. I would pick her. But now my options are McCain and Obama (I don't vote third party). I cannot vote for Obama. Therefore, McCain got my vote. I did not vote FOR McCain, I voted AGAINST Obama.

I know how you feel. I’ve been a Conservative for many years and frankly John Mc Cain was not my first choice (or 4th for that matter). I thought he had gone off the reservation too many times. But Obama is truly dangerous so it was hold my nose and vote against Obama, not necessarily for Mc Cain.

Thanks for the vote just the same.

I don't know how to be polite about this, so I'm just going to ask - how can you support somebody as sleazy as Hillary Clinton (and by proxy, her husband)? We joke about the lesbian man-haters supporting Hillary, but you don't seem like that type.

Fair enough. Personally, I can't stand Hillary, and the damage done by the whole Clinton era is still unraveling (9/11 & Bin Laden, the CRA and our current economic woes, etc.). However, this is America and everyone's entitled to their views, and I, like other FReepers, salute you for shaking off party line nonsense and voting for your country instead. One thing that I hope this PUMA episode will instill for the 2010 elections and beyond is a return to just honest disagreement between folks rather than the insanity we've seen in this election.

I, too, was not voting for McCain, either. I was 1) voting against Obama, 2)voting for Sarah Palin,.........................................3) voting for McCain (I guess, if I really have to).

There are many old time denizens of this site who did the same thing. I'm glad we could stand together when we see a threat to our country.

My youth was spent in S Arkansas where my family was Yellow Dog Democrat, the Republican party was the party of non-racists and extremely unpopular there. Ike, Little Rock, Faubus and all.

Then I veared far Left, studied Marxian economics and actually know these Weather scumbags having run with them on occasion. But after growing up and getting married I turned back right. Now am far right when it comes to National security less so on other issues.

Since you say you are a Democrat I urge you to study the history of the party. It has from its inception been associated with corruption particularly in the big city machines. See “Gangs of New York” for a very accurate demonstration of the voter fraud and intimidation they used at all times. As bad as the fraud by ACORN and others is today. It pales in comparision to that in the 1800s in the cities when there was no secret ballot. Hence, the wrong vote could result in beating or death.

Look at the birth of the GOP and the noble aims it was founded for in opposition to those of the great majority of the Democrat party.

Since you profess admiration for Hillary you should check out the various articles about her here. Most of us despise her and, of course, some of the things said are false but there is enough info that is true that should change an objective mind.
