At this point, I am disgusted with the options that the Republican Party has in this race.  John McCain is the great anathema of the conservative movement.  He “courts” conservatives.  Yet, his record speaks otherwise.  I cannot support him unless I see a radical change in his thought process… a change in which I would not be likely to trust. 

I am absolutely in disbelief that he effectively has the nomination in the bag.  This is truly a sad day for the Republican Party.

And, I “feel dirty” when I hear McCain talk about how “you should vote for me because I am the best bet for beating Democrats in the fall”… Let me translate… because I lie in bed with Ted Kennedy and Russell Feingold and I am the closest thing to being a liberal Democrat without declaring myself to be, I think you should vote for me… because, since I am so in the middle… I stand a great chance of beating the Democrats in the Fall.

Personally, I see no difference between John McCain and Barack Obama or Hillary…. except that they are in favor of pulling out of Iraq.  Other than that, what is the difference?  Please, elaborate if you have an answer. 

I really don’t know what to do.  I am starting to think that the best thing for the Republican Party would be a good ass-kicking in the Fall…and a Barack Obama or Hillary Presidency - where the Republican Party could return to its roots and rediscover its ideological origins…. as opposed to 8 years of a President who is in no way committed to conservative virtues… and effectively takes the Republican Party further away from where it should be. 

I am really wrestling with this one.  I am not disappointed with the electorate.  I am disappointed in the options that the electorate has had to choose from.  Truly a sad day.
