Nope. Myself, and everybody else on the planet live life everyday and sometimes in life you come across two unappealing options and you have to make the best decision for ourselves and our families. We don’t crawl up into a ball and throw a fit like a 3 year old child everytime it occurs, which is what supposed responsible conservatives like yourself love to do.

Hardly crawling in a ball. I simply decided to do what many are to uncomfortable with doing.... Treating the GOP just like they treated me. The GOP has made it apparent that they don't like conservatives, don't want to hear conservatives, don't want to see conservatives and in general, don't like conservatives.

I am a conservative who happens be registered as a Republican. I am not a republican, party at all costs ideologue. So given the fact that Republicans no longer want me or people like me in the party, I am going to go advance the cause of conservatives in other ways. Such as using my vote to affect the major/minor party standing in accordance with the laws of the state of Colorado. Maybe the GOPe will learn the lesson of not alienating the base, maybe not.

But let me ask you this question - lets say the GOP keeps moving to the left. A wholly not unreasonable assertion given the list of candidates since 1990. At what point does the GOP candidate become so alien from your believes that you could no longer support that candidate?

Perhaps it would be the government take over of health care?
Perhaps it would be supporting anti-2nd amendment legislation?
Perhaps it would be supporting bigger government?
Perhaps it would be abortion (Romney was pro-choice before being pro-life)
Perhaps it would be supporting the gay agenda?

I could go on but that was more than enough for me. What is your “last straw”? Or do you freely admit that you are a party at all costs ideologue
