“the right thing is in fact the lesser of two evils, because choosing nothing is through inaction a choice for the greater evil”

Wow, that gobbledygook sounds a lot like that “the perfect is the enemy of the good” horsepoo that was slung around here last fall, trying to get conservatives to compromise their principles.
And I suspect we’ll see it again, since we’re seeing it now.

I don’t care if Goldwater came back in a toga on a chariot trailing flame: If he walked and talked like a CINO I’d be hooting him. Same with Giuliania, Romney, Rubio, Bush or any flavor of the month.
If Cruz stays a conservative, he keeps my support. If you don’t like that, too bad.

Forget the pussyfooting and try this one for size: `In matters of taste, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.’ T. Jefferson
Maybe if we tried adhering to that, the GOP might stop caulking our conservative butts with birdlime come election time, for money and support, then ignoring us—if not ridiculing us—the rest of the time.

"trying to get conservatives to compromise their principles.

I know we don't live in a perfect world, I never pretended to believe that. But there is no perfect choice here. Not choosing is the same as making a choice, because of the lack of disagreement. You voted for Obama, face it.

Goldwater, the pro-abortion feller?
