Any one else notice the Limbaugh's, Hannity's and Levin's of the world who are slamming McCain and yet say they are holding out for his VP choice to know whether or not they will vote for him.

I mean really, who cares about the VP?

How many people voted for Gore and Cheney?

The truth is that they are going to vote for McCain inspite of who he picks because they are republican sheep.

I'm going to vote for McCain and it has nothing to do with my sheep-like nature. It's 100% to keep people out of the office who will side with this dem controlled Congress. I have no interest in my marginal tax rates doubling.

All we as repubs can do is hope McCain will pick a VP candidate with some conservative values......... I will not hold my breath.

What difference will it make who the VP is if Congress is going to remain in Democrat control? How many ties will his VP realistically have a chance at breaking?

That is about all the VP is good for...

Meanwhile, your borders will remain unprotected and your energy prices will rise because of some foolish windmill schemes that McCain will simply allow to occur and his refusal to do more drilling domestically.

Your tax savings would essentially be wiped out by McCain's policies and our safety and security here at home will be jeopardized in spit of our efforts in Iraq.

I'd rather take my chances with those unknowns than the absolute certainty of getting my arse handed to me by the IRS.

All the other lunacy is up in the air and the Dems would likely destroy that too. Hence, I'd be in the same boat, yet still be getting drilled by Uncle Sugar. No thanks.

You can be pissed all day long about other social or domestic issues, but I just don't care enough to let anything override my voting issues. Military / defense and tax bills. Everything else is just an excuse for the pols to pretend to work.

Yes... I wasn't insinuating that there weren't any. The point is that Limbaigh and Hanniy and the gang used to lament about how the Dems would just run behind whatver candidate the dems rolled out there (the black voters are notorious for this). And then these guys are gonna turn around and do the samething.

Watch and see...

Wow...You want the Federal government to do what the Framers intended and are less concerned about the social or domestic issues that the politician have inserted themselves into in order to pander to their base.

That is crazy talk :)

but you're acting as if abstaining is going to change something. That's ludicrous.

I'm just fine voting for the lesser of the evils, given that evils are the alternatatives.

that's the problem. Politics has become about appeasement and vote gathering moreso than about political positions. Positions no longer win and aren't going to again. Pandering is the way to go, so our representative democracy is headed to leadership by those willing to promise the most free stuff to the greatest swath of people.

I'm not convinced at all that abstaining will do much of anything. The majority of people will do as yourself (and Limbaugh) and vote for McCain with crossed fingers. My whole point has always been that I've seen too many of my friends/relatives from the civil rights era vote Democratic for the very same reason that you gave (being the lesser of 2 evils). That is a bogus reason to vote for anyone, because you are still choosing an evil. I guarntee you that if Hillary manages to wrestle this nomination from Obama, that there will be some sore feelings in the black community, but in the end, they will vote for Hills.

You are no different than they are in many respects.

That is a sad commentary. Rather than do the right thing, we need to compromise our immediate safety and security for a few votes.

Then how is voting for McCain going to change that? Again, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. All you are doing by voting for McCain is delaying the inevitable. Essentially, McCain and Obama/Hillary are all moving the country in the same direction. It's just that McCain will move us there incrementally (as Bush has done over the last 8 years) and Hills/Obama will do it at a swifter pace. I suppose you can argue that you are buying time until 2012 with McCain, but I don't see any candidates on the horizon that make me feel that there are anymore 1994/Contract with America conservatives in the GOP anymore.

I'm for a change in direction. None of the candidates are offering that, however. I'll vote 3rd party. Not that I'm a romantic or idealist and think that one person can make a difference, but I don't want people coming up to me asking if I voted and I say no... then they come up with the lame excuse that "if you don't vote, you have no right to complain".

By you admitting that you favor deceleration, you are in essence legitimizing the very process that you are being forced to grit your teeth and vote under.

In short...yes.

A bit longer version...

I believe that humans emit CO2 faster than it be re-adsorbed through natural processes. I believe that increasing CO2 concentrations lead to increasing greenhouse effect. I believe that an increasing greenhouse effect leads to increasing global average temperatures.

However, I believe that the amount of temperature change over time, the effects of that change, and what our response should be are fair matters of scientific and political debate.

For the longer answer .... see (in reverse chronological order)

I'm of the opinion that when one city increases it's average yearly temperature by five degrees over the last 100 years, while another city, less than 200 miles away experiences temperature decline, that a global phenomenon is not the cause.

I'm not advocating anything. I am voting against acceleration of our slide. All great civilizations have followed similar life cycles, ours will be no different in the end. I'd prefer to remain at the top of the heap as long as possible. Any vote to the contrary makes no sense to me. There are times that said vote requires voting simply to preclude a socialist from gaining office, IMO.
