I know Greenfield's right on this - but I'm not emotionally ready to accept it yet.
I agree, and the worst part is I have been thinking along these lines: “Do what the left does, be outwardly moderate and inwardly committed” for a long time. I’m thinking, hell... do what the left does, just lie about it. After all, only a small percentage of people actually research what candidates do and say, so the impact of losing the few votes on intellectually honest voters is nil.
