If I'm not 'the base' of the conservative party, then one doesn't exist.
If you vote on the basis of one or two issues, you are not what I would consider to be a "broken glass" Rep.
Well, I guess I should feel honored that you've upped me from 'one-issue' to 'or two'. /sarcasm
Here's a clue for you: Conservatives consider that an insult, primarily because most of the time, it is a slanderous lie. Just so you know why people are getting their danders up as you cast such aspersions...
I will vote Rep regardless of who the GOP candidate is.
I hate to say it, but you're dumb, then.
I am talking about the REPUBLICAN party, not the conservative party. Based on your comments, you are not part of the base of the GOP.

Here's a clue for you, the Republican Party is not the Conservative Party. There is a New York State Conservative Party.

Ah, now the ad hominen attacks, the last refuge of someone who can't win on the issue. You claim to to be part of the "base" yet you rule out voting for Allen, McCain, Giuliani, Rice, and Romney if one of them becomes the nominee. You fail to provide the name of someone you can support.
You are hopelessly naive or woefully ignorant if you don't understand how the two party system operates in this country. Each party has its constituencies and they all don't agree on every issue. I don't have to agree with the GOP or the WH on every issue, but on balance, I want the GOP in charge and not the Democrats. My most important criterion is national security followed by taxation and government involvement in our lives.
You may consider it dumb to support whomever is the GOP nominee, but then again, you are not part of the base. You would probably feel more comfortable in the Libertarian or Constitution Party.
