The only way we can hang on to the WH, Senate and the House is if everyone sticks together and goes to the polls, even if they have to hold their nose. I will vote for whatever Republican runs no matter who it is.

Even Hillary?

Do you have an "R" fetish?

Is there any principle that matters to you?

You'd support an 'Arlen Specter' or a 'Lincoln Chaffee' Republican over a 'Zell Miller' Democrat?

You better realize that you need conservatives to win the power that you seek. The GOP WAS the party that seemed to be the vehicle that we needed to enact our principles. We can lose an election, but no one can take away our principles. You lose an election and you lose everything that matters to you.

That's sad, but I can't really generate anything but contempt for those who want power so badly that they will disregard any and all principle.

When I made that comment, I assumed the reader would not take it out of context. #1. Last time I checked, Hillary was a Democrat. I said Republican. So, no, not Hillary. #2No I don't have an R fetish. I believe in the Republican Party because they are so much better then the alternative. And I'm not talking about a third party. Its useless to throw away your vote on a third party. #3 Yes principles matter to me. Thats why I vote Republican. And at the risk of copying Condi. Please don't impugn my integrity. #4 No I would not support Arlon Spector or Lincoln Chaffee over Zell Miller. Thats where I expected the reader to use some common sense. I'm sure its safe to say Spector or Chaffee would never make it through the primarys so the idea of having to vote for one of them is just silly. #5. I know we need true conservatives to enact our agenda and in a perfect world, we could elect someone like that but the world of politics isn't perfect. We haven't had a perfect candidate since Ronald Reagan, God rest his soul. I am realistic enough to know we most likely will never have a perfect candidate. #6 You are right. If you lose an election, you lose everything you believe in. These people who plan on sitting home or voting 3rd party will ensure us a loss. How is that going to help our cause? #7 Im not power hungry. I am patriotic. I love my country and I'll be damned if I will sit home and pout or waste my vote on a third party just because I am not in perfect lockstep with our candidate. I'll be damned if I will contribute to the anti American party getting their foot in the door and ruining my country just because I wanted to make a statement. I hope I have answered your questions.
