I Won't Vote For John McCain

This is the part where being a Conservative, but not necessarily a Republican, comes into play. Fred Thompson was my candidate. Thompson had two very important things going for him:

1. He was the most truly Conservative candidate that

2. Had the best chance of being elected.

Was he perfect? No. He supported, for the most part, the McCain-Feingold Act, which I completely disagree with and believe is Unconstitutional, for example. But he was the closest to what I believe, and the man I would've voted for in the Primary, given the chance. Sadly, I wasn't.

Of the people that were left after that, it'd have to be Romney next, with perhaps Guliani after that. McCain does not appear on the list, and that is not an accident. It is because I will not vote for John McCain.

John McCain is, yes, a Republican. And the way you become a Republican is... you call yourself one. That's it. It's a very rigorous process of doing absolutely nothing but saying, "I am a Republican!" The problem with this is that it does not make him a Conservative, and that's who I'm looking to vote for.
