I will vote for McCain in November if he is the Republican nominee because I am convinced Ronald Reagan would do the same thing.

I am not voting. McCain is the anti-Reagan

McCain will sacrifice the US economy at the altar of Kyoto for the “greater good.” No thanks, I’ll stay home if he’s the guy.

I agree with your analysis - people are not considering the MOST important issue, which is judges. It is the judiciary which decides all issues such as abortion, guns, etc. We know what kind of judges HRC will appoint - we can hold McCain’s feet to the fire, if need be.

If you have to let your wife sleep with the football team to keep her, is she worth keeping?

I’m with you. The alternatives are too destructive to this nation as a whole. It’s time to put the national interest as our top priority.

As a real conservative...I will not waste my vote on McCain.

The problem with the GOP is that too many vote for someone with an R next to their name....and not based on conservative principles. The GOP will change only when there are fewer lemmings

Although I would not vote for Hillary or Obama, I will go third party if McCain is the nominee.

Some of us don't want to "punish" anyone. We just realize it is most likely going to have to get a lot worse before anything gets better.

Incrementalism back to a "conservative" country, reversing the past 50 years of incrementalism to socialism, is not ever going to happen.

A major catastrohpe/catalyst will be necessary.

Talk about “RINOs!” Any “Republican” who helps the Democrats win in November either by voting for them or through inaction will deserve that title. McCain will look like a far-right-wing conservative standing next to him.

Thanks for the post, TSchmereL. I’m with you!

I will not vote for mcpain or huck for any reason at all. no way. Hill won’t be so bad as you all think, and i believe she will be better than mcpain/huck.

I will NOT vote for McCain. It’ll be third party (probably Constitution Party) for me, period.

I haven’t made a compact with the party. If the party does select as a nominee someone I find obnoxious, someone who IMHO is more akin to a nominee of the other party, I won’t vote for that nominee. In that case, the party needs to improve their nomination process to avoid the prospect that non-party members and the MSM mischievously selects their nominee, in order to earn my vote. Once selected they won’t support him, and neither will I.

I think your analysis is flawed. I believe that McCain will do exactly the same things that Hillary will do. The difference is that most Republicans will help McCain do them, while they will fight Hillary tooth and nail. Thus I believe that more damage will come to the country with McCain than with Hillary. Convince me that I am wrong.

I TRULY believe Teddy Kennedy is for Barak Obama. I TRULY believe his second choice would be a Jorge Bush third term. I TRULY believe his third choice would be John McCain. I TRULY believe his last choice would be Hillary Clinton. You see there is a lot more bad blood between the Kennedy crime family and the Clinton crime family, than there is between the Kennedy crime family and John McCain.

I'm still praying for a miracle . . .

If it's ultimately a choice among McCain, Hill/Bama and write-in/3rd party, I'll probably hold my nose and vote McCain. While I can't stand the man, at least he is pro-life and is likely to support our troops. Beyond that, I'm not hopeful. Fortunately, there is a limit to how much anyone can accomplish in 4 years in the White House. There's a lot to be said for inertia and legislative stalemate. I'm mentally preparing myself for writing a lot of letters, e-mails, and making phone calls when congress starts deliberating some of these socialist-paradise programs. We may not have representation, but we still have voices, and I intend to keep using mine.

I will too.

I went to bed last night thinking I would NEVER vote for John McCain if he is the Republican nominee. However, in the cold light of day I just don't think I can bring myself to sit back and let Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama end the Iraq War with a unilateral surrender. It would be a betrayal of everything our brave warfighters have sacrificed. Senator McCain's one redeeming quality is his steadfast support of the war.

I’m not punishing anyone. McCain is a slow-motion train wreck, and its probably too late to stop it.

Anyone who has paid any attention over the last decade couldn’t help but know that. On what planet does anyone imagine McCain is fit for the presidency? By the time everyone figures out what they ought already to have known, it will be too late. Repubs are worrying about being beaten in November, when they were beaten last night, and they did it to themselves.

I did not leave the Democrat Party,they left me. Zell Miller put it so eloquently.I was a Democrat for most of my life and as Zell said, they left me. I am not really a Republican but the Republicans have thrown their party to the wolves.There is room for compromise as long as it doesn’t’t compromise my moral values and I will not tolerate that. Regardless of what the country is being taught we were formed because of taxes and on religious beliefs and my thoughts on those subjects have not changed.
