Party Loyalty?

Back around the time of our primary election here in Georgia, someone I know was trying to tell me that he would only vote Republican no matter who won the nomination. And I suppose I can see his point to an extent, I too am pro-life, for example.

On the other hand, I wonder if that is so safe. I really don't know what to make of McCain. Granted, my impression of him is mostly coming from watching youtube videos of him. Said videos I have a feeling have mainly been posted by Ron Paul supporters and are purposely designed to show his mistakes.

So the thing that bothers me is that the McCain I am seeing does seem to be all too willing to say whatever he thinks people want him to say and all on the same day, like talking out of both sides of his mouth. So how scary is that?

I'm still considering Ron Paul. I don't feel like I know enough to be completely comfortable with him as a choice, but he is looking like the best choice. There is still time to give it thought and see how the Republican convention plays out.

I want to be fair and weigh the facts accurately, but how does one even know where to get accurate facts? Of course a candidate is going to say "I'm the best choice." And what else could you expect? Need it be said that the media has bias? I guess you have to just do the best you can do.
