If the Republican Party betrays all of its foundational, core principles and nominates a liberal like Giuliani, then they don't want the conservatives' votes. They'll have made that clear too. Why give them something that they don't want (or deserve) anyway? That is illogical.

Let's get a reality check here, folks.

We are in the 21st Century and no longer in the 19th Century when "the Party" selected the Presidential candidates in smoke-filled rooms.

No "Party" selects a Presidential candidate any more.

The selection is made by primary voters like you and me and all the Sheeple out there ...... mostly the Sheeple.

Sheeple are ignorant by nature or by choice. They were created that way. By sheer numbers, they have more political clout than we do.

We may hate that but that is the way it is.

We, on the other hand, should use our brains.

In this coming election, the combination of the liberal news media and the Democrats and, IMHO, George W. Bush's unwillingness or inability to be a Great Communicator or even a Mediocre Communicator has gotten the Sheeple spooked.

The Republican Presidential candidate the Sheeple pick might not be to our liking this time around.

Them's the breaks.

In 1980, Jimmy Carter got the Sheeple so spooked that they took a chance with Ronald Reagan.

In 2008, the Sheeple may be so spooked that they may take a chance with Hillary Clinton.

If the Sheeple pick a less than desirable Republican candidate to run against Hillary or Obama, the choice of people with brains will be to ensure that the greater of two evils is not elected or ensuring that the greater of two evils is elected by splitting the Republican vote as was done in 1992 when we ended up with 8 years of William Jefferson Clinton plus a Hillary with ambitious hopes for more Clinton years in the White House.

Come November, I will NOT split the Republican vote and I will NOT help Hillary or Obama become the next Commander-in-Chief.

I care more about the safety of America than I care about being pissed off at a "Republican Party" that has absolutely no control over who will be the Republican candidate for President.

Entirely too sensible a position to be adopted by a lot of folks on this thread, but I support your position.
