Your #2 priority is better suited to local elections as that is where you get direct representation of your personal views.

Nonsense. If the POTUS selects liberal judges to the Supreme Court, that affects me directly and personally.

I have my principles and will stick with them, win or lose. Otherwise, my principles are worthless. Pragmatism isn't worth two cents without my personal liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, and I will never vote for a candidate whose record shows blatant disdain for the most important of those rights, which is the second amendment, IMO.

I see no point in voting for the male version of HRC. I don't care what he says, I made up my mind by observing his track record, and that record is a red flag that tells me "NO WAY". This is why I am pushing for a solid conservative with a very good chance of winning the election to be nominated to the Republican ticket. Alienating the base on the right that delivers in the 'get out the vote' effort is a recipe for disaster for the Republican party, IMO. As close as the 04 election was I would think that it would be obvious to anyone here on FR.

As I've already been told by one poster on this forum, my vote doesn't matter this time, the juggernaut that is RINO Rudy simply doesn't need me or my vote. Wonderful attitude I'm seeing here as of late.

I'm not a Rudy camper, but that attitude is nothing but payback for three or four years of abuse that the moderates took from the social conservative right on this very forum, so i understand it.

As should you...

If you did not participate in it, then it was not really directed at you, but remaining silent while other conservatives are attacked because they are not conservative enough for a vocal minority is the same as participation in my book.

This is why the party is all fouled up, and it will be sometime before the rifts heal. If ever...
