You do realize that it is voters who pick the candidates, not the party?
The GOP hasn’t done a damn thing to hurt you. It is the GOP VOTERS who picked McCain, mainly old geezers because young people stayed home.
Grow up.
What are you talking about? I was responding to a poster who's flinging insults at everyone all over this thread for taking a different path than he's taking. I was pointing out that both approaches (voting for McCain, not voting for McCain) can be done with the interests of the country in mind. Sorry, I don't see any need to "grow up" based on that.
As for the GOP, the reason a party exists is to support, promote and groom candidates that fit a certain ideological profile. Some combination of the GOP establishment and some GOP voters have failed at this. I didn't say they "hurt" me -- my take is more that this coalition may no longer be relevant. If the coalition has any chance, it must be accountable to its constituencies. Continuing to give a blank check to bad candidates just encourages GOP leaders and/or voters to give us more of the same.
