Choices

It appears that McCain will wrap the nomination up in the near future despite the best efforts of Romney to appeal to the party base.

Now the question becomes - what will you do in November? That is really something I have been thinking about. Some have suggested becoming 'suicide voters' (don't really like that analogy). This means as conservatives you are so angry at how McCain has been ramrodded down your throats, you will vote for Hillary/Obama to send McCain a message. I just couldn't see being part of a vote that puts EITHER of those two left wingers in charge for four years, as much as I dislike McCain.

Another suggestion is to just stay home. I have never missed any election ever since turning 18 - school board, primary, national, local etc. I take the importance of my vote very seriously. That only hurts others further down on the ticket.

Another more viable option is for conservatives now to become much more activiated and involved. Work your butts off to elect conservates to the House, Senate, and Governorships across the country. We need to make sure we can have our values represented. If we end up with McCain, then we need to make sure we have people in the Senate to block ANY amnesty for illegals in the country, to block any .50cent gas tax increase to pay for the falicy of global warming etc. This has to be our calling.

That means probably pulling the lever for McCain, as difficult it will/may be. Or making sure we have others on the ticket and those further down we can support and motivate us.

I still hold out hope for a Romney come back. He could still pull it off, but it will take a small miracle.

McCain will be finished with me if he picks Huckabee as his VP. That will only go to prove to me his disdain and lack of respect for conservatives should he do that. Huckabee is hanging around to thwart Romney, by far the most qualified to carry our party banner.

Most recently McCain has said Conservatives should "calm down" now that he is the nominee. That is beyond condescending. But do you expect from this maverick.

So, conservatives, we have a lot of work to do, even in McCain in the nominee. We can still influence a lot of candidates from the local level right on up to Congress.
Don't let the media, the party country club republicans, or anyone insinuate we do not matter. It is really up to you!
