I have no influence in what direction the Republican Party goes. The fact that they have chosen to follow the Progressives line of thinking makes them responsible for the possibility that Obama could become the elected candidate, not me.
If you find their behavior objectionable then I suggest that you contact the executives in charge. I realize it is easier to try to blame a man with principles, but this time that line of action isn’t going to be effective.
It’s always someone else’s fault.
Right.
Your inference that I am not principled and you are is churlish and without any foundation in fact at all.
Further, I never claimed you were unprincipled. I merely pointed out that the factual conclusion that one’s refusal to vote for McCain will, in fact, make it much easier for Obambi to get elected.
You may disagree with that conclusion. Fine. But that statement of a factual conclusion is quite different than your self-defensive and self-aggrandizing whine that I am “blaming a man with principles.”
As I said, just one time I would really like to hear someone refusing to vote for one candidate acknowledging that their refusal helps the other guy get elected. And that they not only know that, they are okay with that because the reasons for their refusal are principles.
That I could respect.
But instead all the Refusniks will say is “It’s not my fault,” “I wash my hands of the whole process because it didn’t go my way,” “On Game Day, I quit.”
Forgive me if I’ve been a little short here, but, frankly, this Refusnik refrain has been sung in every election, yet the lesson is never learned by some.
Even if one’s refusal is based on “principle,” that’s irrelevant to the fact that one’s act has certain effects on the election and, therefore, on the nation.
If you don’t want to vote for McCain, knock yourself out. But at least acknowledge you are not helping in any way to stop Obambi from getting elected.
