That's actually easier. Locusts do less harm than RINOs.
To your McCain question, I'd possibly vote for Captain Strawberries, if for no other reason than that he got behind the GOP and campaigned for Bush in 2000. Loyalty isn't to be taken lightly. He's such a loose cannon, though, that I'd wait until election day before deciding to hold my nose and do it.
What I won't do is tell the RNC that they own my vote.

I don't think I'm doing that by posting my agreement with JimRob on FR. I also post a lot of hard edged criticism of GW Bush and other Republicans when I think they deserve it. I could practically see the forehead veins throbbing when I posted that "Bush is outta here if he votes for the AWB".
I get my point across to the RNC by letters and phone calls and returning their donation cards with terse notes about CFR and the like with no money in the envelope. I also use conservative polling/petitioning and orgs like the NRA to amplify my voice.
They by no means have a lock on my vote but by your own admission the default position is hard to avoid. But but but President McCain??? McCain or Hitlery. McCain or Lieberman. McCain or Kerry. McCain or Dean. Aiyeeeeee!!!!! Choices like that are the stuff of Monty Python skits. Or Torquemada.
Is there still room in Belize for me?
We have to crush the left and we have to do it soon.
