If you like John McCain, help him win just as hard as you can. If you don't like him, don't jump off a cliff. What about all the other . . . true conservatives who are running? They need money, volunteers, and constant pressure on the media to give them a fair shake.

This is a rational assessment of the need for conservatives (and libertarian-conservatives) to stop whining and get back in the battle. We must not do counter productive things like continuing to rail at George Bush for betraying us. We need to do productive things, like the recommendations in this article. Get in the fight and find a candidate at some level who will make things better. That is how we give back to our society usefully.
