OK, I get it. You want Hillary or Obama more than you want McCain. This is my last point I will bother trying to make. If we can all show up and vote Republican for all the races, we have a chance of controlling who ever ends up in the White House. If anyone stays home to punish the RINOs, The Socialists will sweep both the house and senate and will make incredible headway in states where they have no business being in control of anything. The more vocal you are about not voting FOR McCain, the more impressed others will be by you saying that and not bother to show up on election day at all. McCain by himself is not worse than a complete sweep by the Democrats. If they get more than 60 in the Senate, it’s a catastrophe. It won’t be like the old days when LBJ was president with both houses on his side. Those Democrats still at least cared about some American values.

So I should shut up so as to not influence others? Trying to shut down debate is a tactic most often used by those who are losing the argument. If your pro-McCain arguments can stand up in the arena of ideas, have at it. If not, so be it.

I will vote for Republicans down ticket and work to get them elected. And I have vocally stated so on this forum and elsewhere.

I want a Dem with a D in office who will be opposed by Republicans, instead of a Dem with an R whom the Republicans will follow over a cliff. In ten years, the country will be better off if McCain is never the President. That is my reasoned, fact-based analysis of the situation, taking into acount all the information at my disposal. And I have not seen one argument from the McCain side that is in the least persuasive. Fearmongering, threats and namecalling do not work with me, and that’s all the pro-McCain forces have.
