And if you think you can have politics without compromised principles, you're crazy. I can't vote for any Democat or Republican without compromising principles.
I compromised in order to vote for the current occupant of the White House in 04 (I didn't vote for him in 00). I don't regret the decision, even though he's a complete nimrod. Because it obviously came down to GW or Kerry, and to me that was an easy choice. But had I and others not compromised, we'd have Prez Kerry now, and that would have been worse.
Tancredo et al are merely a waste of time. In the general, you'll compromise like the rest of us, or sit it out.
So send those dark horses some money for feed directly, or tell others who can about them.
Right now is when to walk out of the store and tell the manager why you’re not buying anything—and that you’ll be back to at least window-shop later.
It’s a year and a half until the general election.
