Ah, here we are again, boys and girls. Time for our semi-daily recitation of universal truth.

In a general election, extremists never get to vote FOR anyone. They never have. They never will. It's not their fault. It's not my fault. It is no one's fault. It is not a GOP conspiracy that arranged this. This is not RINOs that arranged this. This is the universe that arranged this. This, boys and girls, was arranged by the definition of the phrase "political spectrum". When you are on the margins, you are on the margins.

In the general election, extremists msut vote AGAINST someone and that someone for us is the leftmost viable candidate. That is who they must oppose. It is not about disappointment. It is not about misundertanding or misreading. It is cold, hard, unemotional calculation. They must oppose he how is most supported by pro Abortion groups. Who is most supported by pro gay marriage groups. Who is most supported by France. Who is most supported by gun control groups and the teachers' unions.

In our democracy, until there is an alternative party that holds a minimum 25% of the seats of state legislatures and Congress, The Choice Is Only Twofold.

"I support the rightmost candidate who is viable." WF Buckley.

I'll have to track down the date of that quote. I'm suspecting it is another timeless truth.

In our democracy,

There is part of your problem right there. The Constitution specifically states that we are a REPUBLIC. Maybe you should read the rest of it now that you have had this small taste of what it actually does say...
