Are you going to vote in the November 2008 election no matter who wins the Republican primary?

Posted on 11/25/2007 5:29:03 PM PST by cradle of freedom

I would like to know if you are going to vote in the November 2008 election even if your candidate does not win. Will you stay home if you don't like the Republican candidate?

Another thing that I have often wondered about is whether people actually stay home when they are disheartened. News commentators often say that some voters may have decided to stay home because they were not happy with the candidates. I think that is a mistake because even if you do not like the person at the top of the ticket you should at least vote for the other candidates. Have you every actually stayed home and not gone to the polls at all because you were not happy with a candidate?

I have never failed to turn out for the Republican candidate. This election could prove to be the exception.

It was a losing strategy when the democrats tried it and it’s a losing strategy now.

That's about as clear as it gets.

At the expense of your soul, and that of the party... Sure. It's a bargain.

Are you judging people's souls? This is a bit much, don't you think? Who made you God?

IF Rudy is the nominee, I will vote for him with a clear conscience. I do not want him and would never support him at the caucus. My conscience won't allow me to do that.

But if it come to choosing between Rudy and the RAT, I'll gladly take my chances with Rudy. At least he claims he will appoint suitable judges. We'll have to take him at his word at that point. At least we have a chance with Rudy. We KNOW what Hillary will appoint.

It would be better to have Hillary until she is impeached and thrown out of office...

Ok, oblige me...what exactly will you be impeaching her for? Go ask the DUmmies how well their push for impeaching GWB has gone...better yet, ask the GOP Congress of 1998-99 how well the impeachment of Bubba went.

I find it hard to stomach that some of us are ok with the prospect of a new President Clinton.

I vote Republican even if they run Mickey Mouse.

I'll write in Mickey Mouse before I'll vote for gun-grabbing Rudy.

I will vote for Republicans in other races, but no Rudy.

If it comes to down to Hillary vs Rudy, only one has the balls to admit to being a Democrat.

I may not like the nominee, but I wouldn’t miss it. I know I don’t like the dems choice.

Alright alright, you're right...this thread's changed my mind. If nominated, I'LL VOTE FOR RUDY, DAMMIT! Happy?

No, not really. The idea that you have to think whether or not you can stomach a President Hillary Clinton is disheartening to me.

Maybe, but it’s third party for me if Giuliani is the nominee.

Thank you, Jesus.

All this, "I will NEVER vote for Rudy!!!!" crap just makes my blood boil.

You wanna change the two party system? Be my guest. You have non-election years to do so. But right now, you have two choices; vote Republican, or sell the rest of us out with your purist ideals.

So if you decide to "buck the establishment, man" at the cost of our nation and your fellow conservatives, you can kiss my tiny heiny.

And I hope President hillary takes all your stuff, FOR THE COMMON GOOD.

There are times when one is called upon to decide whether they prefer to die by the sword or be burned at the stake. It’s not a pleasant choice but.......there it is. Accordingly, if necessary, I will hold my nose and pull R regardless of nominee. (I AM assuming Paul has absolutely no chance of getting the R nod.)

I will vote. One can always do a write-in if you don’t care for the nominee.

I do not have to think whether I can stomach President Hillary. I have to think what the difference is between them. I haven’t heard anyone give a decent explanation of how they differ.
