There is another way to work in the Party again. Get to know your Legislative District Chairman. He may have a precinct that does not have a PCO. He could appoint you as a PCC (Precinct Committee Chair). Don’t let your hatred for John McCain turn you off to the entire Republican Party. I, as a Republican, did not have anything to do with the McCain success. His success is the result of a political strategy that has had worked better than all expectations. It has attracted the independent voter.
I see it as a blessing in disguise. You see it as the mark of the beast. I call it the doings of high tech political science. Whatever it was, it robbed me of my Fred Thompson and maybe you of Duncan Hunter. When Mitt Romney was left, I had a slight tendency to pinch my nose.
But please, don’t let all this high tech political strategy turn you off to the goal. Don't let ones misspellings or reading errors distract you from the conservative cause. I agree on 99.9% of what you post. And we agree on who is the true enemy: The DemonRATs as I call them.
You will find in some of my posts you will see me referring to pinching my nose in regards to McCain. We have to work with what we are given.
When I saw McCain in Seattle Friday night, I saw a sincere man. You will not believe it, but he is coming around to our thinking. It was amazing. Fred Thompson talked to him. Mitt Romney talked to him. He has love for both of these men. And these men are returning the love with their support. I could read it in his voice.
However, until you get over your bitterness, you could still work as a Republican but not for John McCain.
I have talked to many fellow Republicans in my district who will not work for John McCain. The voters in my caucus were split between McCain and Huckabee and Romney. Even though they may not like McCain, they will support the good people running for state office. I know, because when I read a letter from Dino Rossi, all the people in my caucus dwelt on every word in that I read.
Already do, thanks. (My wife, until just recently, maintained the online voter registration data base for the district.)

Don't believe I ever stated that it had. Again: I'm a conservative. I automatically cast my ballot whichever listed candidate is the most conservative, in turn. In the vast majority of instances -- although, sadly, steadily fewer ones, these past several decades -- this generally is, de facto, the Republican.

I fear you're in for a harsh and jarring awakening, come this November. Those "independents" you're so contentedly counting as locked in for the duration, tonight, will happily skip 'cross the electoral aisle and pledge their collective allegiance for the charismatic (but distressingly empty and banal) B. Obamessiah, nine months from now. In great, thundering, chowderheaded droves.
You will not believe it, but he is coming around to our thinking.
As I've stated repeatedly (and with all honest sincerity) throughout the past several days, hereabouts: all McCain has to do, in order to actually convince me of the genuine nature of his alleged conversion back towards conservative principle is, quite simply, affix his signature to Jeff Sessions' Pledge to Safeguard America's Borders.
The fact that he continues, to date, to adamantly refuse to do so, however, tells me (I fear) all I ultimately need to know, on that score. Ah, well.
However, until you get over your bitterness
So long as party apparatchiks continue to mislabel principled conservative resolve as merest snit or pique: that day, sadly, is doubtless many, many days yet long and away. Hint, hint. ;)

That dratted "bitterness" making the rounds, again. Must be catching. ;)
