So what are you planning to do? Sit the election out in November, or just not vote for president?
I will likely vote (unenthusiastically) for McCain. But that is not the point. Every presidential election cycle since 1980, I was out canvasing door to door, manning phone banks and writing checks because I was fired up. Not this time. McCain will need to count on committed "mavericks" to do the heavy lifting.
Amnesty renders any vote for president pretty much useless for a Republican. Amnesty will ad many millions of new Democrats to the system and relegate Republicans to being a quaint local phenomenon having no relevance to national politics. Why any Republican would desire such an outcome is totally beyond me. Trying to find motives for it leads to absurd conspiracy theories.

I’ll vote 3rd party candidate for President. Why do we “have” to win? McCain would be a horrible president.
I am not voting for McCain either. I think we should orgainize a write in candidate as a bloc to protest the hijacking of the GOP. One of the Oklahoma Senators would be fine by me.
Sitting this one out might be preferable to the alternative.
Watching Warren Rudman to vet Supreme Court candidates and McCain appointing liberal after liberal and telling us they are conservative strict constructionists is not something I look forward to.
Watching John McCain shred the first amendment with more restrictions on freedom of speech and calling it campaign reform is not desirable in my humble opinion. What is next full-throttle fairness doctrines?
Electing John McCain President and having him raise taxes is not something I want. He will justify this by saying the rich deserve their wealth confiscated because they are motivated by profit, not patriotism. I really good do without this class warfare rhetoric and attacks on the free enterprise system.
Claiming to be an advocate for a strong national defense and ramming down an open-borders immigration policy down our throats is a contradiction! Guaranteed amnesty for law breaker and criminals is not in the national defense in my estimation. John McCain has not retreated from this position — evidenced by his continuing support of Juan Hernandez as his Hispanic outreach and immigration policy director.
Placing nuclear weapons and the national security of our country in the hands of a man who is forever seething with hatred and rage and incapable of controlling his white-hot temper does not appear to be a prudent choice in my book.
A man who contemplated joining the Democratic party and running as John Kerry’s VP does not strike me as a true conservative. Also, when we heard him say Hillary Clinton would make a great President there really should not be any doubt about his political pedigree. He is a screaming liberal. Get over it.
Maybe the worst thing is that he has held these views all his political life and now that he is running for President he claims to be a conservative, a Ronald Reagan Republican. This is an outrage of everything sacred we hold as conservatives. Anyone who believes McCain’s hogwash should seek help.
