Do you really think McCain was the choice of true conservatives? Give me a break and don't even begin to blame us. But once he was the candidate we had a choice between an imperfect GOP candidate and Obama. That so many independents went for Obama and we have the disaster we have right now is not something that can be blamed on conservatives.

That independents didn't like McCain so they went for what was objectively and obviously a much worse choice to me demonstrates what is wrong with many independents. Not all, but many. It is simply irresponsible and foolish to vote for the greater of two evils in order to punish the other party because they didn't give you the magical candidate that meets all your "independent" criteria. That is just wrong and that is just dumb. And besides, I am specifically pointing to the independents that voted for Obama. A good many did what I did, held their nose and voted for McCain.

So don't blame conservatives for McCain and don't spend your energy defending independents as a whole just because you are one. Many of those independents that voted for McCain made a mistake and as the polls are showing they are coming to their senses. That independents like Hound will never admit their mistake, or maybe she loves the incompetence and destruction of this country doesn't mean that a great many of them haven't come to their senses because they have. But they still deserve the ire of conservatives for their mistake because all the information was there, they just refused to listen.
