I won't.
I will respectfully ask you to reconsider. If you hold your opinion, I will not decry you for such.
I wanted Fred. You wanted Fred. But that dog did not hunt.
We are at war. IMO we do not have the luxury of sitting on our hands for this election. The choice is now between a man who will continue to wage that war and two men (yeah, that was deliberate) who will not.
If this were 1992 all over again, we could afford the luxury of a protest vote, or a failure to vote.
But we really don't have that luxury now. Upwards of 4,000 of our finest have died in Iraq. Far more are profoundly injured and will carry that burden for us for the rest of their lives.
I cannot and will not allow that sacrifice to be in vain. McCain's one greatest stance was to push the surge when all others said that was political suicide. He was right when being right on that subject was the most important stance, when all the pundits and far too many in the GOP gave up supporting such.
So I am willing to support him. Although I will fight him tooth and nail on his transgressions shall he win the Oval Office. As you and I fought Bush when he was wrong.
So I strongly and respectfully ask you to reconsider.
