“But I also don’t want the Repoublicans to take my vote for granted. I’m sure you feel the same.”

I do and have proven that I will only compromise so much when I did not vote for John McCain in 2008. I despise John McCain with a passion. There is no one running that I dislike on such a personal level.

Understood! I just wish I knew why more conservatives didn’t run this time.

It’s also very strange for me - the positions the media outlets deem “fringe” or “extreme” now are just a call for an America more like the one I grew up in. And I’m not all that old.

I used to know John McCain. I agree, I did not like him either. Over the years I took a lot of heat from FReepers for my insight. I did though vote for him (in the last election, none in AZ). I voted for him only because he was better than the alternative in the general election.
Cut and run is a different story. While I know he has no chance of winning the nomination, he would be worse for America than anybody the dimwits could put up.
