I'm on record as writing in two people for President and Vice President, but if not voting at all in that race floats your boat, so be it.

Once President McCain issues a phoney declaration that "the borders are secure", he will then sign that Amnesty bill he has wanted for so long. Then, America as you know it is over. Not just the GOP. <strong><em>America</em></strong> will be lost. It seems a lot of people just choose to forget McCain-Kennedy.

They have already lashed and now will be stoned. The heading is Oriana Fallaci Was Right. Please consider this when you either decide to vote for a dim or to not vote at all. If McC is the nominee, at least he won't kowtow to these people to show the world how "nice we can be," I don't want my young female relatives to have to live under shari'a law where a bunch of misogynistic old men can decide to do this because of another man's unreasoning jealousy and suspicions.

So, McC gets the nomination...all the more reason for those of us who consider ourselves to be conservatives to work that much harder to rehab this party. We can see just how effective a third party is at this time. All that does is split the vote (usually GOP) and put the opposite party in power. The dims are not going to cooperate with McC anymore than they cooperate now. We can keep our eyes and ears open and kill things we don't agree with just as we killed shamnesty. Please think before you decide not to vote because this truly is not over. Look at the map. Quite a few states have not voted yet and TX is one of them. We could see a h***uva fight on the convention floor, yet. I am a bit of a Pollyanna but this doom and gloom seems just a tad premature to me. rant off/ As I said on the other thread along this same line, it doesn’t make sense to cut

An unequivocal NO! Like all political parties, it is merely going through a temporary rough patch that requires a little self-reflection and re-assessment, nothing more. And if it is too late to salvage a win in this election cycle, so what? No political party in human history has ever won every election, every time. If we are to lose in `08, the last thing we need to do is recoil and like our wounds.

Im by no means a bible thumper or even Ultra right winger, but its really getting old to look at the canidates and see no difference anymore. I truelly believe voting for Mcain or huckster will get you Hilary and Obama in different clothes.I find it disturbing that the RNC obviously keeps pushing it on us and wonders why theres a rift and animosity amongst us now.
