I certainly want a more conservative candidate; I'm not real impressed with McCain.
But he is what we have to work with for now.

Obama is truly dangerous, and his cult like followers are scary.

I want a younger, articulate, conservative Republican who loves the Constitution and capitalism.

I don't know where that person is however.

I’m right there with you, but we have what we have this cycle.

As I posted a while back in this thread, the time for offense - to get your ideal candidate - is during the primaries. After that ends, you go on defense - making sure the elections that follow do as little damage to the ideals you hold up.

I’m shocked so many here don’t get it. Obama can do more PERMANENT damage in 4 years than 32 years of subsequent Republican Presidents can undo.

In the 40 years since LBJ’s Great Society, we’ve had Republican Presidents for 28, and even then for half of the remainder we have a Republican Congress (yes, for the anti-McCain forces here, in the last 40 years there has only been 6 where the Executive AND Legislative branches were jointly held by the Democrats). Yet we could not undo the Great Society.

Giving up, letting Obama or Hillary institute national healthcare is the worst thing that can happen. It will NEVER be undone. Ever. Once in, it won’t get removed. That is GUARANTEED to happen if McCain loses.

Offense in the primaries, defense afterwards!
