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 held my nose and voted for Bob Dole. No way am I going to feel so ashamed again. I will vote...I will write in.

There is no way I am going to vote for McCain. My loyalty is to the Republic, not the Republican Party. I am not going to do something I consider harmful to the Republic just to see an (R) after the name of the president. I consider a RINO like McCain to be more harmful than a Democrat president because a Democrat president will have an actual opposition party to oppose or reduce the damage. McCain would continue to sell out his party and effectively neutralize the GOP and conservatives through the party leadership.

Kind of like a choice between the clap and syphilis.

"If you were swimming in a river of urine, and somebody threw a bucket of pus at you, would you duck (still vote for McCain)?"

That’s a very interesting point...as interesting as the turnout of opinions on this thread.

On a rough estimate, I would say more than half, perhaps as much as sixty percent of the folks who replied here would not vote for McCain, whether the alternative be staying home or voting third party.

That scares me. It’s a nasty situation no matter how you look at it.

No. Illegal aliens are going to vote for me.

LOL! Doing the voting for nasty megalomaniacs that Americans won't do.

And doing it for less than $50 per election!

Real conservatives, like me, are filling in the ONE MAN that can save us:

Bob Motherlovin' ROSS.

Now the GOP is treating conservatives like Democrats treat blacks.

Oh please! The bottom line FACT is that if conservatives had enough numbers to vote in a candidate of their choice, that person would be the nominee. The facts don't lie. We don't have the numbers and throwing tantrums, holding our breath, blaming space aliens, the Illuminati, etc., etc., won't change that.

The Conservative Wing of the Republican Party has been utterly destroyed by President Bush.

When did it happen? If I had to point to a date when the conservative movement was murdered, in cold blood, I’d point to October 3, 2005. That was the day Conservativism died at the hands of our President. After two and a half years, I’ve still not gotten the knife out of my back.

I won’t vote for McCain - I’m warming to the idea of pulling the lever for a Democrat, if I voted for McCain I’d be voting for a Democrat anyway... why not swallow the bitter pill and jump in head first. Although, I think I’ll need a poll-worker assisting to actually get the lever down on Hillary.

The GOP doesn’t deserve this election - we’ve failed the American People on almost every issue.

Gay marriage, tax rebates to those that don’t pay taxes, universal health care, weak national security ... here it all comes and we’re powerless to stop it.

God Bless America... I hope. Otherwise, we’re @#$$$#!.

I’ve got nine months to see what shakes out. No commitment here. I voted for Romney at the last minute to block McAmnesty. If McAmnesty gets irrational and all touchy feely with liberals, I don’t know if I could vote for him even with a gas mask!

Conservatives who will not vote for John McCain will, in effect, cast their vote for Hillary Clinton. I know which evil is lesser.

Two opinions that may or may not be correct.

Tired of voting AGAINST candidates.

From now on, only going to vote FOR candidates.

Either candidates will earn my vote, or I leave the lever to collect dust.

If Whacky John gets in there, we will have the same odious policies

Really? When did McCain call for withdrawal from Iraq? When did he call for nationalized healthcare, or eliminating the cap on payroll taxes? Did I miss something???

If it’s McLame vs Hillary (short of an abject McLame apology for Kennedy-McLame), I sit it out. If it’s McLame vs Obama, I hold my nose and vote for McLame, since I’ve already seen what black leadership has done to America’s cities and would like to spare our country the same Third World fate.
