McCain, Obama and Hillary = the Bad, the Worse and the Ugly.
I really think the best thing for America is for conservatives to avoid voting for McCain, but to vote for every Republican congressional candidate.
Here are my reasons:
1) I’d rather have Congressional Republicans united in opposing Hillary or Obama, than supporting McCain in his pursuit of equally wrong-headed policies.
2) Since not a one of the three knows anything about economics, or has any executive experience, I really think the odds are against whoever wins in 2008 winning a second term , and I’d rather see a real Republican running against a Democrat than trying to mount a primary challenge against a failed incumbent McCain in 2012.
3) McCain has a slim chance of victory at best in November, and no chance at all if the conservatives stay home. I think if conservative non-support is perceived as the reason for his failure to win, the Republican Party will be very wary about about shafting us in the future, which I think will bode well for a real conservative candidate in 2012, and for our party’s future.
4) I really believe that on the critical issues facing our nation — the WOT, the economy, immigration and taxes, all three of the candidates will be equally wrong-headed.
5) I think the advantages to our beloved nation of helping McCain lose far outweigh the disadvantages of helping him win. If he does win, that will be the end of conservatives in the Republican party for the next four election cycles, because it will show that Republicans don’t ever have to take conservatism seriously again. And I really do believe that conservatism is the only realistic hope that our nation has of surviving in the long run.
Don’t tell me I’m being petty. I am not even angry. But I really do believe it is best for our nation if conservatives ensure McCain’s loss in 08. (He’ll probably lose anyway, especially against Obama.)
Flame away.
“really think the best thing for America is for conservatives to avoid voting for McCain, but to vote for every Republican congressional candidate”
No flame, but having either obama or hillary CIC, is just stupid.

Not flaming—agreeing!!
I’m with you on not voting for mclame, but virtually none of the republican reps or senators are conservative either. I’m in favor of kicking them all out and starting over. The only thing these clowns understand is losing their cush jobs. The entire republican establishment needs to get a real job, if any of them could. I’m going to vote for the Constitution candidate, whoever that is.
no flames from me. I’m a hill girl now, lolol (not really but i sure won’t vote for mccain).
lol, the bad, the ugly, and the fugly.

Namely SCOTUS.
There are two, maybe three, justices hanging on waiting to retire.
It really pains me to say this but I'd rather their successors be chosen by a PUB rather than a RAT.
No flames from me. I agree.
I might, for the first time in my life vote for a Democrat.
If McCain gets in, he will not be opposed by congressional Republicans. They will rubber stamp every bad idea he has(and he has plenty). They cannot risk looking disloyal.
All three potential presidential candidates are bad news, but I think McCain is the worst because this.
I will vote for gridlock. It’s the best we can hope for.
I’m with you 100%. With McCain in the Oval Office, Republicans “Up The Hill” will be less inclined to go against “one of their own”. President Hillary or Obama will better unite the Republican Congress and Senate. Besides, as Ann Coulter said: “I’d rather deal with President Hillary than with President McCain. With Hillary, we’ll get the same ruinous liberal policies with none of the responsibility.”
