Wrong, wrong, and wrong. I'm not the reason the GOP is trending to the left. I'm making a distinction between the primaries/caucuses and the general election. There are all sorts of candidates that I would never vote for in a primary, Rudy being a prime example. Would I vote for Rudy in the general? He's as pro-abort as any dem, but I certainly trust him to make SCOTUS choices more than I would trust ANY dem. I would vote for him in the general.

The primaries are where you try to make your point. Being involved at a grassrotts level is where you make a difference. Handing the dems the Presidency for four years...you want to think of that as noble, you go right ahead. You stick to your guns.

Maybe future President Hillary Clinton will send you a thank-you card. Mindless, indeed.

Really? If the GOP establishment knows that you will vote for the Republican candidate, no matter who it is or what their policy positions are, wouldn't they be fools NOT to push liberal candidates since they have a greater chance of also attracting moderate/liberal voters?

You need to think about where this country will be in 10 or 20 years, not 10 months.
