To: Conservative til I die
Parties have nothing to do with my belief that I should vote and act in a way that most helps my country.
Whatever "points" you are trying to score against the Republicans pale in comparison to the harm that was done when the Clintons gained such power in our country and the world.

First off, I didn't vote for or against President Bush, since I was 15 years old in 1992. I would have, though, as being a Catholic, we were always taught to support the pro-life candidate (again, another hint to Republicans that they shouldn't abandon their platform). Second, it's not a matter of voting for Clinton, it's a matter of betraying your base to the point that they will be apathetic and not turn out the vote on Election Day.
Sorry, the GOP does not own my vote or anyone else's. They have to work for it, and part of that is this crazy belief that they actually support their own platform. Otherwise, why have a platform? Instead of sour grapes, and thinking of GOP'ers who stayed home as traitors who helped elect Clinton, maybe you should instead reflect on that as a lesson about why the GOP has to remain conservative and loyal to its principles. When it isn't, people like Clinton get elected.
