no, to be candid, I don’t get it.
this (below) I *get* :
“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” ~John Quincy Adams
“The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” ~Marcus Aurelius
our positions are not too far apart.... the only difference here is that if I vote for the “enemy” in this case.. it actually would show the world that the “victory” was illegimate.... so in essense you are voting for an opponent that easier to fight... rather than create a “civil war” with the Republican Party... conservative members of congress will be able to fight the “D” a lot easier than than fight McCain...
