Explain to me, in name of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, getting Hillary or Obama elected President is in the best interest in this country?
I am not looking out for the party, I looking out for the country.
We have choices in life, it’s not always easy to decide. McCain was NOT my first 5 choices, but that’s being a grown up. But saying that electing Hilabam president is in tune with consevrative principles is insane.
I was talking with a democrat the other day. She believes that her party is for change (mostly bad IMO) and that the Republican Party survives by keeping people in fear. Reading some of the posts around here, it’s hard not to argue that.
Since only affirmative votes are counted, I can’t vote against Hillary or Obama.
I can only for “FOR” someeone.
I’m not voting “FOR” McCain, no matter how anyone wants to spin it as a vote against someone else.
If a candidate can’t earn my vote why should I donate it to him? I don’t do that in any other realm of life, I don’t donate time or money to causes I don’t support or products that I don’t expect to meet my expectations.
I won’t buy the least rotten meat or the least sour milk, I’ll just wait until something better come along.
How is electing McCain for president in tune with conservative principles?
Before you answer, understand that his party affilition is irrelavant.
Hillobama is not the issue in this discussion. Obviously, they would be a disaster. We don’t want them. Many of us will hold our noses and vote for McCain.
But, if McCain DOES NOT rally the base, he won’t win. If, by chance, he won, you can kiss goodbye the chance ANY conservative will ever being nominated. The MSM will declare the death of the conservative movement...in fact, they’ve already begun.
The MSM strategy has been brilliant, although won only by persistence.
The MSM will continue to influence the election by widening the gap between McCain and conservatives. They’ll also portray him as old and angry to the Middle.
He was the worst possible candidate we could have...but, Republicans, as usual, fell for it.
It isn't. But the question that you are (conveniently) failing to ask is the converse: Explain to me, in name of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, how getting Sen. McCain elected President is in the best interest in this country?
The answer is the same. It isn't.
"We have choices in life, it’s not always easy to decide. McCain was NOT my first 5 choices, but that’s being a grown up. But saying that electing Hilabam president is in tune with consevrative principles is insane."
Of course we have choices in life. One of the more important of which is whether or not we will try to live by our beliefs and principles or forsake them for temporary expediency.
I WILL NOT be guilt-tripped into compromising my moral obligations to God and family ever again.
It is your support of the Rin-o-p that will ensure a socialist sleeps in the White house next year, not my conscious vote for honest government and freedom from tyranny...
LFOD...
Okay. I'll explain it to you. With a Democrat in the White House, the Republicans are all but guaranteed to take back Congress. With McCain in the White House, Republicans likely won't win back Congress for at least a decade.
With a Democrat in the White House, there is a chance at a conservative President by 2013. With McCain in the White House, there isn't a chance for one until 2017.
The reality is the Clinton years were far better for conservatives than Nixon years. McCain is a return to the Nixon years.
