Look at where the candidates stand on the issues, not what party they are with. Choose the lesser of two evils.

3rd party votes are wasted, no independant has ever won an election.

Ron Paul is running as republican though, right? So you won't have to pull for a born-loser third party.
 
I was a life-long Republican up until now. I even voted for George W. Bush twice.

He's been a disgrace, for reasons that are so well documented I won't go into again.

I hate that the Democrats are back in power, as it puts the 2nd Amendment at risk. But keeping Republicans in power seems to put the other nine at risk.
 
My no vote needs a little explaining. I don't intend on letting any anti-Democrats win. If the Democrat is our friend I would gladly vote for him/her. If both candidates are anti I will vote either Republican or third party, depending on the circumstances. I would rather have an anti Republican than an anti Democrat, since they will have some desire to help the party, and the RNC is very aware how important gun owners are to their continued success.
 
Dubya, despite his legion deficiencies, DID make good SCOTUS appointments (admittedly after the Harriet Myers misfire). He has been a colossal disappointment.

He spends like a drunk sailor, he has refused to protect our borders, he has betrayed his solemn oath of office to uphold and defend the laws of the USA, his nation building in Iraq was doomed to failure from the beginning, education bill was a fiasco, McCain Feingold should have been vetoed, he has failed to support our troops by hamstringing them with unreasonable rules of engagement, Dubai Ports deal was a ham fisted blunder - this guy is managing to give even the hapless bungler, Jimmy Carter, a run for his money.

Only a sufficiently conservative candidate with conservative credentials will get my vote. I am unwilling to yield on originalist judges, the 2nd Amendment, a bias towards limited government, America first, no grandiose nation building, defeating the Islamic barbarians and character.

If the Republicans do not field a conservative hell bent to protect our Constitutional rights I will sit this election out. I'm done. Ronaldus Maximus is rolling over in his grave.
 
I will not be voting for the lesser of two evils. I will vote 3rd party from now on.

I may be voting for Ron Paul but I have to think about it. Some of his statemtents I disagree with very strongly.
 
I know Hillary and Obama will seek to ban my guns undoubtedly. Most Democrats simply will, no questions asked. A RINO may concede on purely political grounds, but I at least have some hope. My concern is with the issues, not the people or lame-o politics or beauracracy, and I am thus realistic and take the chance of my rights being preserved with a "maybe" than a throwaway on principle. As noble as the principle is, "they" in Washington don't care and they will not get the message. The green party saved our ass last election, I don't see a need to stare a gift horse in the mouth by making the same mistake on the other side. At some point the song and dance ends and I've got to swallow reality.
 
I agree with mattw:

He has made two appointments that seem like good choices. Time will tell if Roberts and Alito are good or not. If they become more liberal over time, I would not be surprised.

The fact that Bush nominated them makes me view them with suspicion given Bush's liberal policies and his disregard for the Constitution.

Remember, Bush WANTED Miers and Gonzalez. We have Roberts and Alito because of pressure put on him by conservatives.
 
And if there was a Democrat president, would pressure from conservative mean anything at all?

GWB may have different desires than most conservatives, but in some way, he is still indebted to us. A Democrat is indebted to libs. This is why I view a Republican as better than a Democrat, no matter who the Republican is. Even McCain or Rudy will have to give us conservatives something at some point. That's a lot more than I can ever expect from a Dem.

He is not indebted enough to conservatives for it to matter. He has thrown the conservatives a very meager bone.

Bush has given us Campaign Finance Reform, Medicare Reform, No child left behind, a never ending war on terror, and a quagmire in Iraq. He has failed to seal the borders, he has increased social welfare like no one since LBJ, and he has expanded the size and intrusiveness of the federal government. He has damaged civil liberties with laws like Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act.

In return, he has given us two supreme court justices who may or may not end up being as conservative as we hope.

Thats not a good trade off for us.
 
I will never vote Democrat on the national level. On the state level... that's a different story. Most Democrats here in WV aren't way out there. And many are very pro-gun.

And the other option is...not getting that meager bone at all.

You have one side that is going to give you very little. And one side that is going to TAKE a lot from you. A ####ty choice to be sure, but still 2 different choices.
 
When DeWine was defeated, one of our Senate seats went from NRA "F" to NRA "D-".

I'm betting things don't look so good for Voinovich either. Good.

In DeWine vs. Brown, Ohio had a choice between an NRA "F" rated Republican and an NRA "D-" rated Democrat.

Ohio picked the "D-".

If it's Giuliani vs. Richardson. I vote for Richardson.

If it's Giuliani vs. anybody else, I stay home.

One "Duce" in my mother's lifetime is enough...

I take it you are a one issue voter... and that issue is guns only. As I see it, the Republicans have taken a lot from us. If you look at the big picture, the Republicans have taken more from you in the last 6 years than the Democrats took in 8 yrs under Clinton.

Does the First Amendment matter to you? How about the Fourth? Are property rights important to you?

All these rights were infringed under Republican control.

Do you really believe Giuliani, McCain, or Romney would veto a new AWB?
