On the intensity in which some issues are fought i.e. there ranking in importance to the Republican Party I would say you likely have a valid point, but I don't think going 3rd party or staying home has ever accomplished anything except give us democrats so I will stay and fight within the two party system, and support the most conservative candidates that can get the most done and be electable, does that make me such an ogre.

does that make me such an ogre.

Not one bit! You are doing what you think is right, and I disagree with you. No biggie, that's just grounds for debate. You and I have the same goal, but different candidate in mind. i believe, given that we have almost a year before new hampshire, we can get a real conservative in there, and Hunter is the guy who most closely represents my ideology. I think he's viable. I would hate to put forth much effort into somethig I didn't feel was viable. Also, Rudy does not represent my views on far too many categories to be acceptable.

We have what i would consider otherwise very bright people here going off the deep end supporting a non-conservative just because they think he's the only electable candidate. I don't agree with that strategy one bit.

That does not, however make you, or any of them, an ogre. It doesn't make me a KKK member, either (PSYCHO-FREEPs line, not yours).
