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.
On all those issues McCain is wrong, but better than the alternative.
I do agree, we did it to ourselves,
But the MSM is quite happy to step in and take the wheel while we were asleep.
I agree, wholeheartedly. If I had my druthers, I would scrap the very concept of a primary and only permit caucuses (as they draw those who have at least some understanding of policy and repel those who have little taste for politics), and award all delegates proportionally.
Something also needs to be done to allow all states to have as near an equal say as possible, in terms of time. As it is now, Texas won't even matter. That's simply wrong.

I like the cut of your jib.
I, for one, only view a political party as a vehicle to see my conservative beliefs put into policy. When the former is no longer conducive to the latter, I owe it no allegiance.
So it’s “Giant Douchbag vs. Turd Sandwich” for you?
I think your order is called the loser sandwich,with a big side of wahhhh wahhhhh and a big glass of crybaby to wash it down.
Conceited much? Good luck wining over those of us who have principles, with that attitude.
McCain’s response to the Swiftboat Vets’ relating their direct memories about Kerry in Vietnam is telling. He trashed them immediately. Either he knew they were probably right and lied, or he didn’t know anything and reacted against them by reflex. The media jumped on his words to defend Kerry of course.
I think McCain reacted reflexively because of his PTSD and a vexing fear that the same sort of revelations could come out about him.
He could have just kept his mouth shut. Or he could have read the book (Unfit...) and researched it himself to give an educated response. But the resonance that he too was “Unfit for Command” rang his bell.
You might get your chance, she is running as a Democrat. I'd just go 3rd party if it came to that, but I understand the sentiment.
and, besides, what true Conservative can trust him given his proven positions on critically important public policy matters?
For me, it will be a long winter of discontent with hope that the Congressional elections in 2010 might provide a push back on what will undoubtedly be a liberal agenda.
