And to vote for him, one has, by definition to accept his stance on gay rights et all

I don't think that's true. I have yet to vote for a candidate who I agreed with on everything. And I don't think any elected politician believes everyone who votes for him agrees with him on all issues. Particularly if the voters and other elected official strongly oppose him where they disagree.

I'm still in this fight for Newt. But in any case, I'm supporting tea party conservatives at all levels. The executive is one branch, powerful for sure, but we have other arrows in the quiver no matter who is president.

It’s true when you consider that the number of liberal positions MR has are numerous, yet the conservative positions are non existent. Also consider the types of his positions. Abortion, gay rights, gay/military, global warming...all of which are individually anathema to the conservative philosophy. And this isn’t a ‘one’ thing with him. It’s everything he stands for/supports. It’s who he is.

To vote MR, one ‘has’ to accept his positions. If you deny them, then you are casting a vote contrary to what you believe in.

Am I wrong? How so?

I have yet to find a political candidate, let alone one other person, that I agree 100% on everything with. Most things, yes. Everything, no.
