So...How Many Are Voting for Palin

[Wretched Excess]

illegal immigration knows no geographic localities.  I live on the east coast, and we have had sweeps that have racked up a couple of hundred illegals.  my folks live in southern mississippi, and they arrested 600 illegals there last week.

I am sure it is worse in socal, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist everywhere else.  and it also means that folks in minnesota fully understand the issue.

I refuse to buy into your short sighted view that not voting for McCain is a vote for Obama. Thats the sort of lazy thinking we see at DU Pops. I expect better from you.

"Facts" and logic and you are not good friends are you?

I don't believe that one has to live on the "font lines" of the immigration problem to fully appreciate the problem with open-borders.  I would say those living on the front lines have more of first hand understanding of all the problems.

The argument that not voting for McCain is the same as voting for BHO isn't valid either.  If you don't vote, you just don't vote.  It's up to the candidates to convince people to vote for them, not vote against the other.  If the vote against the other comes into play with the individual voter, then so be it.  But if a fellow conservative tells me he didn't vote for McCain (that he didn't vote at all), I'm not going to jump their case, because quite frankly the guys been a major prick over the years.

I'll take responsibility for my McCain vote if McCain wins and screws it up. But, If BHO or McCain get elected and the non voters feel the urge to complain about either.... they better just STFU. But that's just me.

I hear ya. I too am torn on voting for McPain still, but hopefully his veep pick pushes him in the right direction regarding immigration. But hell, we all know that Obama would open up the floodgates anyway. At least with McCain, he can stand to change his mind (hopefully.)

Unless they say something, you'll never know who voted or didn't vote.  I'm certainly not going to inquire of others, it's private.  That's why they put curtains on the voting booth, so others can't see what you did or didn't do.

As for me, should BHO get in I'll still fight against the little commie and if McCain gets in and starts bending over to please the Dems/libs, I'll fight against him, too.

Of course it's private, that's why I put the cheesy grin. 

Obama is an unacceptable candidate, I wish some of these protest (conservative) voters would realize that.

DH and others have certainly said they don't like BHO, and others have said they'll hold their nose and vote for McCain.  It seems at least with picking Palin he made some type of overtures.  Whether that can overcome his past record of going against conservative principles we'll know in about 2 months.

Aren't you getting ready to have to put up with all the traffic for the RNC?  Good luck and I hope you know the backroads real well.

I don't have to cross town. My residence and all my business is on the west side of Minneapolis. Good grief, St. Paul.... I only go there to drink Irish Beer.
