I vote for the Republican in almost every case, RINO or conservative in the elections. You know how I vote in primaries. But I won't send money to Republicans who hold what I consider to be positions beyond the pale on certain issues. I explained this to my Congressman on the phone one day. He was shocked when I called him an extremist for voting against a ban on PBA but we parted company amiably.
We all have our own litmus tests, and many we two both share, and some not. Of course, when the Dem nominates their candidate for president, well, usually out best intentions to MAKE A STATEMENT tend to fall by the wayside for obvious reasons. The Dem constituency groups that a Dem presidential candidate must cater to, just favor too much that is not in the best interests of the Fruited Plain, either practically or morally.
I actually misread your post. I do the same thing. I suspect in primaries if we lived in certain places, we would send money to opposite sides in primaries. But not in the two states we live in. LOL.
