Stop being sanctimonious, Toothy.

I don't expect you to understand - you weren't the guy who had their candidate stabbed in the back by a sore loser whose candidate did not win a nomination. By your logic, it was Ollie North who divided the party. I disagree: Ollie North and his supporters did not divide the Virginia Republican Party. John Warner did by being a sore loser, and by recruiting and supporting a third party candidate AFTER the issues he raised against Ollie had been discussed by the Republicans.

Should Marin win the nomination in the primary, who is the divider? Is it the person who might disagree on an issue (be it immigration or any other issue), or would the divders be those who will REFUSE to support her as the nomineee even AFTER the issue had been raised in the nomination battle (in this case, a primary campaign) and then actively take steps that would throw the election to the only likely opponent?

Finally in response to your last statement:
"If it's Marin, and she loses without my vote, I think it should be evidence of why I should be trusted... because it would prove, once again, that GOP sellouts to Illegals are not the future of this party."

Did Ollie North go groveling to John Warner, begging for forgiveness after the knife was placed in his back? No, he didn't. You flatter yourself if you think that, and you must live in an alternate dimension if you think any politican but a fool would trust you enough to stick his neck out for you.

I fully understand why you won't apply the logic by which you harangue others to yourself.

When you didn't vote for Warner, for whatever reason, your logic says that you as good as voted for a Democrat.

There it stands.
