Nobody here is supporting McCain; he'll never make it through the primaries.
The point is, Jim is supporting Republicans this year -- not third parties -- and certainly not sitting home.
Just like me. That's why I don't understand all the vitriol you've spent towards me in this thread, Howlin.
That doesn't change the fact that, as RNC Chair Ken Mehlman pointed out, conservatives are upset and likely to sit it out unless there are some real legislative efforts to fix things up between the Republican Party and the conservatives who usually vote for Republicans.
You're shooting the messenger, Howlin. I don't plan to sit anything out. In fact, I'm concerned because the Republican congressional candidate I'm campaigning for may suffer because disenfranchised conservatives may sit home or be less than enthusiastic in November. Again, what I want doesn't mean that I can go into denial and pretend that conservatives aren't pissed off and they won't sit it out or vote third party. And I won't do anyone any favors if I shoot the messengers that are reporting this political reality right now.
So, instead of beating up on complaining conservatives, how about working to understand what they're complaining about and seeing what you can do to get things patched up. RNC Chair Mehlman recognizes the problem and has finally said something about it. It may be too little, too late at this point, but some effort should be made. Beating up on disappointed conservatives isn't helpful at all at this point. Telling them to just shut up and vote isn't either.
