Check the facts. The ACU gives McCain an 82.3 rating and Hillary a 9. That's an 82% conservative voting record versus her 9%. Obama is barely better than her.

You guys are nuts if you think voting third party or sitting it out or voting for a Democrat is better for our country and party. You just don't get it.
You make it sound so simple. Yes, we "get it." This is going to be a very tough choice. Not for what is on the face of it, but for the long term ramifications and variety of unintended consequences.

This could deal an existential blow to the Republican party. But if the Republican party were split properly, a third party could emerge to win over conservative Democrats and craft a majority.
