You got it right. conservatives, including Tea Party conservatives, have to learn several things:

1. Stop eating our children, continue to support those candidates whom we manage to get elected, even those whom we perceive as having become “impure”.

2. Recognize the truth of the old Klingon aphorism: “Only a fool fights in a burning house!” Conservatives, libertarians, moderates, neo-cons, and others have a common enemy. We can negotiate our differences, far smaller than with our common enemy, later, after we win.

3. Find core principles against which we can measure our positions on issues. My most important ones are the support for: Constitutional Government, Frugal Government, Limited Government, and non-intrusive Government. If we can agree, at least to some extent, we can win and settle (or agree not to settle) issues later.

Does that make sense to you? Ask yourself: Would you rather be successful or perceived as virtuous?

Excellent points!

We have to realize there is no PERFECT candidate for any office, and to continually justify NOT voting for someone who only BETTER and not BEST represents our views is not only foolish--but dangerous!

One of the most shocking stats I've heard is how many Christians do NOT VOTE in elections.

WHY NOT?????
