“So why are you working so hard, so viscerlly, so nasty, to turn votes against McCain?”
I don’t care who you vote for.
“If you truly feel as you do than go sit out November or cast your vote for your 3rd party candidate.”
Options that I am taking under advisement
“What doesn’t make sense is why you push for a McCain and GOP loss.”
This actually DOES make sense if you look at it from a conservatives POV. Let me explain;
1. Juan does not deserve the job.
2. He has stabbed us in the back so many times that we now resemble a well worn pin cushion.
3. Rewarding his kind of behavior over the past 10 or so years will (win or lose) get you a Joe Liebermann “conservative” as your next Repube nominee.
Have you ever raised kids? If so, were you big into rewarding bad behavior?
I am behind door #2 also, and as much as I would hate to be seen as defending McCain, I must point out that he was a true conservative up until about 10 years ago like you said... When was McCain-Feingold?? I proudly voted for him as Senator for many times until he co-wrote that bill. Since then, have written him numerous letters/emails letting him know I was not happy with how he voted a few different times now... swearing up and down I would never vote for him again. But I think what happened is 8 years ago he saw who got the nod ago over him, a somewhat less (fiscally) conservative George W. Bush and from that point on he has tacked toward the center/left for this run. It could almost be argued that he has also provided a service by showing what kind of crap you end up with when you try to act in a “Bi-Partisan” way... As Rush said about the NY Times the other day, hopefully he will wake up and learn that liberals can NOT be trusted!
Personally I think he would beat Hillary, because she has as many people that wont vote for her as McCain does. But against Obama, I think he will lose a fairly close race that could be won if somehow all the Anti-McCain Conservatives would just swallow their pride and vote for the most conservative of the options given to you.
If not you are all going to get to learn live with the regret that those of us that voted for Perot over G.H.W.Bush felt for allowing Clinton to be unleashed on our country the first time over a broken promise of no new taxes.... Instead we got Clinton’s tax increases too not to mention the crippled military to boot.
