A pledge to never vote for McCain (Vanity)
February 5, 2008 | Tree of Liberty

Posted on 02/05/2008 10:11:11 PM PST by Tree of Liberty

If the unfortunate possibility of a McCain nomination comes to pass, I will not work for his election to the presidency, nor will I defend him in ad hoc conversations. He is wholly unworthy for that high office, and it is intolerable for my conscience to abide supporting him.

I will face two options once in the voting booth: 1) cast my ballot for a third party candidate, or 2) simply not vote in the presidential election.

I am curious who among you share my sentiments.

I did not start this thread in a moment of capriciousness. I have been considering this for several weeks. Your certainty of my actions is woefully inaccurate.

If it causes them pain to lose to McCain. Then I will support that.

It won't pain them in the slightest. McCain will offer them everything they want on a silver platter.

It is shameful that *SO-CALLED* Freepers are suddenly drinking the McKool-Aid and *SHILLING* for McLame. What happened to our *PRINCIPLES*?

You want me to *FEAR* Hitlery as his opponent? There’s hardly any *DIFFERENCE* between those two. McLame’s *BETRAYAL* of conservatives in West Virginia today proves it. I will *NEVER* vote for a *TRAITOR*!

This is a *SAD* day for our party and our country. The 2008 election is *LOST*. It is time to focus on nominating a true *CONSERVATIVE* for 2012.

“Actually, the one that terrifies me is Obama.

He keeps giving these sermons on “changing America” looking “to the future, not the past”.

I think the change he’s picturing is European socialism. I think people have no idea the damage he’s capable of.

He talks about reaching across the aisle, but he has voted 100%liberal/socialist, never ever breaking ranks with his party. How can he possibly get along with someone like me when he wants to seize control of my life and strangle me with taxes?”

It sickens my heart to think that Americans are actually voting for this garbage.

“I don’t care if I am the last damn person opposing liberals on this planet.
I spit my last breath at them. Stealing form Melville there. LOL
So I’ll grit my teeth, take it like a man, vote for that SOB McCain if I have to, and fight on.”

You aren’t the last damn person opposing liberals on this planet. You said you’d vote for McCain, a liberal.

Not everything.
And that is enough for me to deny them the white house.

I will oppose democrats to the tiniest degree.

Besides, the dems will get us friggin nuked.

McCain at least has some military thinking.

McCain is a RINO moderate, and goes liberal on several issues. Obama/Hillary are Marxists, and no one this liberal have ever taken the WH before.

Just wanted to emphasize that.

Sorry - it’s late, I’m tired, and it was the best I could come up with at the time. But I believe you’ve figured out what I was trying to say.

I agree with GregoTx’s post - we all do want what’s best for our country. I know you do. We need to be effective about it, and not allow or deepen a schism that Hillary or Obama can use walk into the White House. They are both Marxists. And that cannot happen.

Thank you for your reasoned and intelligent replies.

Thanks. It’s not going to be pretty or palatable, but it’s got to be done.

“You aren’t the last damn person opposing liberals on this planet. You said you’d vote for McCain, a liberal.”

You

don’t

get

it

Hilda-bama will get us nuked.

There are still some differences that matter.

The democrats have backstabbed our troops on the battlefield.

I will deny them what I can. I will never forget, or ever forgive.

I’ll deny them my vote everytime. And do what I can that they lose.

I’ll deal with damn rinos too in ways I can. I lost this time. So be it.

Even if they are in the white house that doesnt make them all powerful.

Presidents do not always get what they want.

“You don’t have to like the guy, but you don’t cut off the nose to spite the face!”

Enough with the overused metaphors. No one’s buying it anymore. Not for John McCain.
