I fully agree.
But what of those who refused to vote for McCain, saying that having a Democrat in the White House would cause the Republicans to embrace Conservatism?
Frankly, I’m convinced they contributed to the mess we’re in!
Actually, it’s the fools that kept voting for anybody, no matter how liberal, as long as they had an “R” after their name that have put us in the mess we were in. If we’d stood our ground years ago, we’d have had a real conservative to vote for in 2008, and the liberals wouldn’t have been able to twist things around against us so effectively.

Spot On, Exactly, You said it!
Since Obama, Gov. take over in Auto Industry, Banks, etc.
Obama created a worse economic situation for these takovers.
We have the non approved Czars, many being socialists to marxists.
Obama gives a pull out date from the war that was declared on America by the IslamOfascists. Losing is not an option.
Pushing the global warming, economy destroying agenda.
ObamaCare which will not only destroy our entire health care system, cause deaths, and tank the economy to a no comeback situation.
McCain may be a POS but we wouldn’t have have this crap and he is leading the fight against ObamaCare.
I am Conservative down the line but when the above issues
are taking us down to a socialist state with no return,
am glad I voted McCain - Palin and don’t have on my conscience that I helped elect Obama by voting Third Party or sitting home.
I know a lot of folks who voted for Palin in ‘08, folks who would have sat it out again. So, either the sitter outters always sit or they are bloviators. Every “party” has them, even the democrats and continually blaming sitters for what the “party” failed to do is called denial.
The problem wasn't just McCain to those of us who are disgruntled with the “party.” It isn't just about McCain or voting for president. It is about the strength of the representation the said “party” is able to provide. Deciding votes are being cast and have been cast by members of the “party” while the whole lot has stood in opposition to numerous legislation. The delicacy of the situation demands solidarity, which the disgruntled have warned was failing to exist for several decades now.
The disgruntled are not to blame for the 0bama presidency. If McCain had won it would have been only a matter of time and the nation would have still slept through another round of elections, electing more (r's) into the “party.” The time, this kind of time, would still come. And the struggle would be much worse, because McCain would have let us sleep or stay in our ignorance.
Presidents who lead are often inspirations, Presidents who exist, lame ducks, often do no harm. Little will change or happen as long as legislation fails to make it to the President's desk. The power brokers right now are in Congress.
Solidarity of our representation is needed, but does not exist. Those few, who many like you voted, for fail in their duties to the “party,” their constituents, and the country. Odd as it may seem they have R's after their names. McCain, Mr. Reach Across the Aisle, himself was just the highest example of how low the “party” has fallen.
Folks like you have given us: Snowe, Voinovich, et al. They are not better than democrats, they are the party's traitorous worst. They are the poisoned tipped arrow through the Republican party heart.
Strength does not come from voting for every candidate that has an (R) after their name.
Had to defeat Obama that was priority one in last years election So that was why one voted for McCain. But still Obama won anyways. Now we have to focus on supporting candidates who will do the right job for 2010.
My problem is that I see how McCain is equally as bad and if put in that position again I might not like it and vote for who I would rather want. This health care mess wouldn’t have happened under McCain, but then maybe Medicare part E might have or some other thing.
I am split on how good McCain would have been. But he is a Rat. He deserved the loss he got. Palin was dragged along for the loss and it might have been better if she wasn’t.
Frankly, I’m convinced they contributed to the mess we’re in!"
Absolutely. Any Conservative or Republican who refused to vote for John McCain wanted to "prove a point". I understood that feeling of nausea, but what was on the other side is what we have now. It was far too risky to have denied a vote for McCain/Palin.
Just look at what we have now. The entire future of America is now in formidable jeopardy.
We must pray, and must vote with enormous power in 2010 to help right this ship.

For God’s sake...don’t waste your time with distractions that are irrelevant at this point! We are past that now.
So what? Your POV does exactly zilch to fix the mess. You and your ilk are nothing but whining complainers living in the past that accomplish nothing but creating dissension.
It is a "New World Order" my friend, I don't recall who said that. </ Sarcasm>
Actually, your statement resembles your moniker's initials. I'm of the opinion that we should have stayed home and let the Global Socialist GWB lose to the commies before the government was vastly expanded, there would have been a conservative backlash and we'd be in better shape. I was dumb enough to vote for the "lesser" evil in the last three elections, but now I realize the damage that was done. No more. Never voting for another RINO. The lesser evil is really the greater evil. W handed us what we've got.
You are living in a dreamworld where McCain wins the election, he stands up to democrats and we all live happy ever-after. If McCain was president; Health Reform, cap and Trade and Amnesty would all be law now. And Republicans approval would be lower than democrats now; after the McCain/Pelosi stimulus package failed just like the Bush/Pelosi stimulus package did.
I hate to ask, but do you think the Bush presidency was a success? You think this all was an accident? bad luck?
