Accepted. However, my main point was that it is personally offensive to a lot of conservatives to be fed the specious line about “a non-vote for a RINO is a vote for a Democrat.” Where is it written that a RINO automatically gets a Conservative’s vote.
Time is better spent on trying to convert Democrats over to Republicans than wasting time of condemning Conservatives for their intransigence of principles. It seems to me the Republican Party could stand for a little “principles” instead of exigency, the exigency of appeasement to mythical votes they think they can get - if only we......
I do not like the choices we have had. Of course, it is not written anywhere that a RINO gets the vote of conservatives. But we have to pick our battles. I would rather be fighting against Romney now than fighting against Obama. We might have actually had a real Attorney General who follows the law. And we might not have gone from an Iraq where people were proudly showing purple fingers to an Iraq that is systematically eliminating all Christians.
Those conservatives who did not vote can be proud to have stood up for principle, but where did it get them? With 5 million new illegal alien voters Obama will create with the stroke of a pen, conservatives are screwed.
