I keep hearing vote local, state, all for conservatives. But I bet 80- 90% of those people will endorse the GOP candidate who will be Romney over Obama. So do we then throw them out to and let the Dems take over everything? Because that seems the logical conclusion. How can I vote for all of these unprincipled people if they endorse Romney? Or does endorsing Romney immediately convert you to a RINO, despite your life's work as a Conservative?
“Or does endorsing Romney immediately convert you to a RINO, despite your life’s work as a Conservative?”
If one goes out and rapes a woman after a lifetime of celibacy, does that make him a rapist?
If one goes out and blows up a loaded school bus after a lifetime of pacifism, does that make him a killer?
If one writes a hate filled screed claiming the Jews use the blood of children in recopies, does that make him anti-semitic?
Yes. You throw away a lifetime of conservatism by helping to elect a rino. All your life’s work was for nothing if it means you abandon it out of a desire to ‘win’ regardless of your principles. I am utterly convinced that people with this question, and those who share the rationalization, simply want to have their cake and eat it too. There is no possible way that it can survive the most basic pass of critical thought, yet over and over, I see some version of it posted.
I have said this on numerous posts and no one even attempts to give it a serious answer. They duck, dodge, and get offended, but they refuse to answer....
“How can a conservative vote for a liberal/RINO without abandoning their conservatism?”
Again...
Conservative thought is the polar opposite of RINO/Lib. When you vote RINO/lib, you are saying that rather than sticking with what you claim to believe, you are willing to abandon your beliefs and adopt others in opposition to them. There is no other way around it. A conservative will not, CANNOT vote for a lib/RINO and remain conservative. Saying you can is no different than saying you can have sexual intercourse and remain a virgin.
