McConan the "Republican"? Just say NO!
Obama is even a more frightening prospect than Hillary.
A socialist (Obama) vs. a waffling centrist (McCain).... hmm.... yeah, let’s vote for the socialist.
McConan the "Republican"? Just say NO!
Robbin; you are grasing in the wrong pasture. You must be lost. Go find someone to help you.
That's dumb. That will just be interpreted as support (i.e., a mandate) for Obama. A third-party vote, on the other hand, sends a clear 'protest' message. The particular people running on the 3rd party ticket don't matter that much, since they're not going to get elected. Voting for the Constitution or Libertarian parties, for example, tells the GOP establishment "you could have had these votes if you weren't pushing leftism."
The way this election is shaping up there will be no point to voting this November.
It won’t matter, McCain won’t win anyway. Think about McCain going up against either Democrat and giving a performance like he gave last night. The Democrat is going to snicker and apologize to the audience for having to contradict McCain’s senior moment.
> I’ll say I’m not racist, I voted for Obama. I’ll get to drive around with my Obama bumper sticker for 8 years.<
I can get behind your McCain revenge scenario, but the Prius vote not so much.
As much as I despise McCain, Obama is truly the worst of the bunch. He is the quintessential and potentially most dangerous enemy within.
I’ll probably go third party or stay home, but I’m not voting for McCain. The GOP can try again in 4 years.
If the one man that Republicans say they won’t vote for wins the Republican primary, something is broken.
I’ll have some serious soul-searching to do at that point.
All of the conservatives combined in this race never added up to more than 12 or 13% voter support. There is a problem bigger than just McCain. I’m not sure where we go from here.

So why start a new one!
If McCain is the nominee I’ll either write-in Fred Thompson or stay home. There’s nothing that says you have to vote for a Democrat if you don’t like the Republican choice.

Unfortunately not voting for the Republican *IS* a vote for Hillary or Obama. Math is funny that way.
If it does come down to McCain and Obama, and you don’t vote, the result is you’re giving two votes to Obama by your obstinacy.
>> Now I’ve said over and over on this forum that I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again, because our evil gets more evil every election because we keep voting for them.
So you’ll vote for the greater of two evils?
That doesn’t make much sense.
Overall, regardless of my personal feelings for McCain, the country would be better off with a President McCain than a President Obama — so I would vote for John McCain.
On the bright side (as a conservative, I prefer optismism) — there are some not insignificant issues on which John McCain is absolutely right — namely the War on Terror, Iraq and National Security. And, though he’s a little shaky on taxes — he’s not so shaky as to be as offensive as Obama.
Everything that’s doctrinally wrong with John McCain is equally wrong with Obama ... and in every area McCain is right, Obama is wrong. John McCain has SIGNIFICANT problems — but he’d be a long shot better than Barack Obama.

America is screwed no matter who is elected. America may never pull out of it. I would rather a dummycrat took the blame. The 8 years of bush will be just a less steep part of the downward slope.
3rd party or absent.
