“Continue to hold the Conservative line.”

You can’t do that by wasting your vote. They tried that in 2006, and now the Dems are in control of the judiciary committee, and President Bush’s judicial nominees aren’t making it to the floor for an up or down vote. Do you realize how important it is to take back our courts?

“Another party would restore the two party system.”

I would LOVE for that to happen, but in the meantime we could lose our country. We need to be PRACTICAL, and limit the damage as much as possible WHILE we are waiting for a STRONG conservative party to emerge.

It will be a waste if people use the rational voting for Socialists appearing to be Conservatives will help the Conservative cause.

No they didn't try that strategy. They either stayed home or voted for socialists with the irrational thought it was preferable than aggressively seeking true Conservatives. That happened in Connecticut when Republican voted for Socialist Senator Joe Lieberman instead of supporting staunch Conservative and Republican candidate Alan Schlesinger! That only ensured six more years of Socialism. It is the same irrational thinking being preached on the national level and now apparently which you have embraced.

There in lies the problem. Everyone is waiting for the other person to do something instead of taking the bull by the horns remaining true to Conservative principles. That only ensures no on will do anything. That concept couldn't be more impractical. I have to admit I am some what surprised you are suddenly accepting the very defeatist attitude you were against prior to Duncan Hunter withdrawing. I thought the very fact Hunter espoused his Conservative principles and winning in a district with a 2:1 Socialist Democrat ratio would be proof enough a Conservative can still persevere despite seemingly insurmountable odds.
