McCain or Bust...Conservatives, will you vote?

Posted on 02/07/2008 12:06:38 PM PST by WiseGuyF686

No articles on here, I apologize. I just wanted to bring a little bit of opinionated discussion in at this point, now that we stand on the brink of setting American back 4-8 years...

The conservative candidates are out of race, and it looks like it's McCain or bust. How many of you will close your eyes and vote for McCrazy over Obama or Hillary, in order to do minimal damage to America over the next preidential term...and how many of you will sit home and watch the sky fall?

Personally, I'll do just about anything to keep the Clintons at bay, including vote for John McCain.

I will do whatever I need to keep The Beast from being elected. Even vote for McCain.

I see stopping the Beast as a National Emergency. I don’t think voting McCain will preclude a better candidate from emerging for the 2012 race.

It is a Shiite spot to be in though.

I hate McCain, Hillary Clinton, Obama, any Democrat,and Huckabee, any liberal/Marxist. I will never vote for any of these Marxists/liberals under any circumstances no matter what lies they say or what they call themselves. McCain, Mrs. Amnesty for 100 million illegals( 30 million here now and their families back in Mexico and the 3rd world) is the biggest threat to the U.S:

The coming crackdown on blogging

The best candidate was Tancredo:

“I just want to add that it *is* important to vote. There are conservative candidates for the senate, the house,...”

So true. I will be honored to vote for Capt. Duncan D. Hunter for Representative of the 52nd District of California.

I don’t give a hoot if I have to hold my head under a paper bag and VOTE for McPain!! I’d rather have him than the SHE-DEVIL OR the MUSLIM!! Let’s work together and vote in senators and congressmen that will keep McVAIN in place. PLEASE FOLKS, we need to unite. DON’T JUMP OFF THE SHIP JUST YET. I can’t believe you guys have forgotten the 8 HELLISH years with a CLINTON! C’MON, we can do it. WE CAN DEFEAT SATAN’S DAUGHTER and the MUSLIM dude! I too I’m very disappointed that MY candidate didn’t win, BUT HELL IT’S SELF CAN’T KEEP ME FROM VOTING....I love my grandkid too much to let our country slide down the slippery slope just yet!!

I'll either stay home or vote third party. Doesn't matter who wins of the two big parties, the "sky will fall".

Here in Florida there is an amendment to make it plain and simple to even the dumbest liberal freak that marriage is between a man and a woman. Not a couple of freaks or homosexuals or a human and an animal.
So yes I will vote. BUT not for McCain nor Obamma nor Mrs. Clinton

Probably just as well you don't vote for McCain, because he's not in favor of such an amendment:

Just vote for Hillary then. No sense hiding it.

But I think some of the things she’ll do to us won’t be fixable. I don’t think McCain will take our guns. I think McCain will prosecute the war on islamic fascists more vigorously.

Beyond that, nothing much matters to me. The rest is all peripheral.

I will do what I have done for the 39 years I have been voting. In each race, I will vote for the most conservative candidate that has a chance to win. In my lifetime, that has always been the Republican candidate in the Presidential race and nearly always been the Republican running for the US House and Senate. Once in a while on the local level, I find a Democrat that is more conservative the Republican running and vote for him...but it hardly every happens anymore.

Short version. I will vote for McCain over either Hillary or Obama.

Are you getting paid to survey us, n00b?

Read the forum. Find out for yourself.

Your no vote is a vote of Hillary or Obama. Unfortunately it just works that way mathematically.

I don’t know. I’m just real disappointed right now. If he picks Huckabee as his running mate, no way I vote for him.

From the center of Reagan Country of the 80s, the Orange County Register posted results of a poll today:

Did you have a longstanding commitment to the candidate you voted for in the CA Republican primary?

Republicans
30.6% No, my favorite dropped out
11.1% Mail voter, no, my candidate dropped out
19.4% Yes, but wasn’t my pick in Dec.
38.9% Yes, backed him/her for a while

Independents/3rd Party
36.8% No, independent not allowed to vote in GOP primary
26.8% No, my favorite dropped out
5.26% Mail voter, no, my pick dropped out
26.8% Yes, backed him/her for a while
5.26% Yes, but wasn’t my pick in Dec.

I guess Fred and the other Conservatives had a lot of support in OC before they dropped out.

I have a god-awful time with him, but I don’t trust either Hillary or Obama. To me, he is potentially more dangerous than she is.

This is a winnable race.

Let’s all pull together and defeat the Democrat nominee in November.

The question for the poll posted should have read;

Did you have a longstanding commitment to the candidate you voted for in the CA primary?

I had added “Republican” by mistake, so the 36.8% of independents polled wanted to vote for a Republican, but were not allowed.

Two different battles.

If the obama and clinton machines take over because we fight that battle now and hand them the victory,it won’t matter. WE will have screwed over our nation, just as much as if we had voted for them.

If you wanna do that, be my guest, but my conscience makes me choose my battles differently.

Well it seems supporting our soldiers in the battlefield not as important than your point of view. Maybe Hillary/Obama will not not be as offensive to you as Commander in Chief. After all you say Senator McCain is a greater danger to our safety and security, strangely, than either of the Dems." After all, Obama and Hillary are 100% liberal, and arguably outright marxists. McCain is about somewhere around 30% - 40% on the right side of issues. Not very logical.

You may take Hillary or Obama as Commander in Chief over McCain during wartime, but not me.

There isnt much I can agree with McCain with, but there are a precious few issues I can. Pro-life is one of them. I strongly disagree with you saying McCain is more dangerous than Obama and Hillary (not to mention the cabinet and judges that they choose) than McCain.

Islamic terrorism will come to our Country again. If nothing else, I will be voting in a way to keep Obama or Hillary out of office so they would not be the ones to respond to any possible attacks. Our soldiers that fight in a war deserve more than Hillary or Obama, and my personal dislike of McCain is NOTHING, when compared to what their needs are.

Then you vote Dem, not my choice, but it’s all our choices to do what we feel is the best thing for our country first and ourselves second.
