I agree with you. I think anybody who helps Obama by not voting for McCain should be ashamed to call themself a conservative.
No, you don't. You did, however, twist my words in order to attempt to paint me as something I'm not.
By voting for a candidate, I give my stamp of approval to their campaign proposals. And, frankly, if there is no way I can avoid voting for amnesty for illegals, carbon credits, and more government, then conservatism is dead, and so is the Republic.
The problem with McCain's gang of useful idiots is that they believe that a Republican must win, regardless of the Republican's actual political profile. Would you vote for Lincoln Chafee if he was the nominee? And what if Hillary Clinton was the Republican nominee? Furthermore, they also tend to ignore and even whitewash McCain's horrifically non-conservative record. And, if that doesn't work, they accuse us of being purists...or tell us that unless we vote for McCain, our children will suffer. They hold up the spectre of Obama because, the truth is that McCain has nothing going for him. He's as much a post turtle as Obama is. And, as a last resort, they then twist the rules of logic to accuse us of being closeted Obama supporters and DU/Kos trolls.
If you believe that Americans are too stupid, too insecure, and too dependent on their government, and that they are incapable of surviving without a Republican presidency, then, by all means, go ahead and continue the name-calling and accusations. It only shows how desperate and scared you and your fellow McCain supporters are, because, literally, McCain has nothing else. (And, don't even try to talk about his "experience" unless you want the topic of his "experience" as "the original maverick" to be fleshed out in detail.)
I think anyone who thinks McCain is a worse for the nation ought to get up the hormones to go vote FOR Obambi.
The only way to stop McCain is to vote for Obambi, donchaknow.
