I have always felt that I have to vote for the candidate who is closest (or least farthest) from my views/principles (step one) and then push them as much as possible to move in my direction (Steps 2 thru 10,000). I just hope that, much as President Bush (Father & Son) dissapointed my by moving AWAY from conservatism, we can press soon-to-be President McCain to move TOWARD conservatism.
Just my thoughts.
...and you couldn't get me to vote for a Lib/Dem if you held a gun to my head. Ever.
And, before you say it, not voting is the same as voting for the opposition. Too stupid to even discuss.
