So if McCain gets renominated, you advise staying home, voting Libertarian, etc.? Surely (is my point here) not voting for the Dem?
McCain is a Dem.
I haven’t for McCain since 1992 and I have never voted for a Democrat. It feels real good to have a clear conscience.
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
— John Quincy Adams —
McCain is a member of the establishment and must be removed. We cannot in good conscience see him returned to the senate. Arizona Democrats rarely run anyone of note against him, with a wink wink wink given that he’s their guy. Democrats love McCain. We have to get rid of him.
If South Carolina people don’t do the same with Lindsey Graham, we will never be rid of these people. We will get a knife in the back anytime we mount a charge. He must go. However it happens, we cannot vote for him. If a Dem wins, we fight that senator next time.
I think those who can vote will vote their concience.
That said, one of our Socialists in Washington was up for reelection and people kept repeating that he "has seniority". To which I replied "What good is that if it is used against us? It only makes him a more powerful force to our detriment!"
McCain has been a disaster, so bad even that nice lady from Alaska couldn't drag him and his albatross daughter across the goal line. As long as people believe he represents the Right in any way (and an incredible number of people cannot wrap their head around the idea that 'Republican' does NOT equal 'Conservative'), the cause of freedom is weakened from what uninformed people consider to be within.
At least you expect a Democrat to work against you all the time and know what you are up against.
He isn't an idiot family member, you are only stuck with him as long as you vote for him.
