But it was angry conservatives voting for Perot (conservative or not) who helped elect xlinton, and in that way the parallel is correct.

The conservatives who vote for McClintock will in fact be helping elect Bustamante.

They will be able to live with their principles, but they must also live with the fact that their state will be going further and further into the abyss.

Not a wise choice, IMO.

No.

It was the Republican failure to maintain a conservative candidate that elected Clinton.

It was a RINO failure. Conservatives have not changed, you guys have.

You insist on doing the same thing over and over again ad nauseum and still insist that it is the conservative who refuses to vote for a liberal that is to blame. This is not logical, nor does it reflect reality.
