You are in denial if you think otherwise.

Voting for either socialist would be a denial of my conservative principles.

this is like the SAT. It is multiple choice, not essay. You must choose the best answer (there is no perfect answer). If you make no choice, then it is considered a wrong answer.

One of those multiple choice answers is to support and vote for conservatives. The other choices are so far from being perfect they can't even be classified as an acceptable answer let alone anywhere near perfect.

there is no true viable conservative running for president. so it is NOT one of the multiple choices.
rephrase:
either Obama or McCain will be your next president. pick one. if you can’t understand that then there is nothing further to say.
