Parties are coalitions, dear... there is one on the right and one on the left. Neither coalition is able to represent each member 100%... conservatives are only one portion of the GOP and the GOP only makes up approximately half the votes that count, the Dems the other half. Note my point about "votes that count", fringe parties are irrelevant and can only act as spoilers in a two-party system.

Your turn.... please tell me exactly how our withholding support from the GOP and allowing a Dem in office will further conservatism? The last time we did so we gifted the country with the America-hating Clinton and the Beast... our flag and military were spit on, terrorists were given the welcome mat to attack us, our defense was sold out to our enemies some of which are now actively pursuing nukes, we almost adopted a socialist health-care system, and our Presidential Office was used for sex, perjury and selling pardons to the vilest of criminals. And that is just a partial list... tell me why this is SO MUCH BETTER than having a Republican President that makes some policy decisions further toward the center than we wish?
