John McCain Should Drop Out Of Race For President!

If John McCain is truly concerned that the Republican Party wins the election in 2008, then he should drop out of the race for the Republican nomination!

If he does not drop out of the race, he will insure that we will have a Democrat in the Whitehouse for at least four years.

John McCain CANNOT unite the Republican Party! I will not vote for him. Neither will many other Republicans vote for him. Readers can see what I mean at this link: [link edited for length]

The evidence of party discord is plain to see for anyone even giving a cursory study to the daily news:

John McCain was booed at the CPAC convention on Saturday. In fact though the author of the following article tried to downplay the booing, tapes of the speech(and the boos), were run over and over on various talk-radio shows, and the booing was quite vigorous particularly on the subject of immigration: [link edited for length]

However, immigration is only one of many problems that conservatives and others have with McCain. In fact, some writing out there is pretty vitriolic when it comes to McCain's problems. The first link I submit in support of the previous statement is something I received via e-mail from an angry Republican day before yesterday. It is an article about angry POW families from 2005, aimed particularly at John McCain: Source

Another link with regard to McCain's presidential qualification is one that I included in a previous article. Some of the information is probably not applicable to whether McCain would make a good president, but some of the information provided is worth careful study of the issues concerned:

The real issue in all of this is whether the Republican base is willing to sell the soul of the Republican Party for another four years of liberty stealing policies, big government theft, unchecked illegal immigration, and our own Hundred Year War? In my case, the answer is NO! If Ron Paul or some other true conservative does not win the Republican nomination, I am simply not sure what I will do. I have even considered, as some of those have in the first link I included, voting for Hillary. My thoughts have been, if we are going to go to hell, then maybe we should go there faster, in the hopes of liberty rising as a phoenix from the ashes of our destruction. At least then, we will not watch as our liberty is leaked away in bits and pieces, while we vote to keep those in power who are lying to us about the fact that it is happening! Of course, the other option is an already existing third party, which has approximately the same effect as sprinkling my lawn with "Hillary for President" signs.
