Here’s what I said

“It’s not complicated. Your ethics come with a caveat. You are willing to set them aside if the price is right.”

Regardless of your scare scenarios, can you explain how a conservative can claim to be a conservative and hold conservative values while voting for a man whose record is 100% liberal? Because the first person who presents a logical argument that a conservative can vote liberal without abandoning his beliefs will get a bunch of us to vote Romney with a clean conscience.

That however is an impossibility since empowering liberals is the exact opposite of what conservatism is about. Or have you too redefined conservatism to ease your conscience?

Caveat? ;^) ... At what amount of comrpomise do you draw the line? If a candidate is not 100% conservative in your sight, at what point of not consewrvative do you draw the line? McCain may have seemed conservative enough to you, but he was not and never will be 100% conservative and he was in the habit of 'reaching across the aisle' to embrace the very non-conservative democrats. At what level of his compromising with the democraps did you draw the line? And di you vote for him because he put Sarah Palin on the ticket? I did. But I also could not vote for a lying slug like Obama was being exposed to be by the time Novemeber rolled around, so I compromised and voted for McCain/Palin. Was I incurring God's aprobation by compromising then, and at what level of compromising would I not be?

Did you vote for McCain/Palin? ... If you did, did you compromise your values, as in set them aside? No, your firm defense of those values now shows that you did not compromise your values, you just voted in a way that emphasized some of your values without compromising the others. I will readily admit there are scant few values Milt Rominy holds which coincide with my values. But I can find absolutely no values little barry bastard commie exhibits which coincide with my values.
