I'll be voting conservative. What that means to the GOP is up to them.

I'll be voting the most conservative major party candidate. I'm not going to throw away my vote to a third party candidate, even if I like what they say.

So you're going to remain obedient.

I think we need to be willing to vote for candidates who are less-than-ideal, because the results of the recent elections, and the results of polling since 2004, indicate that conservatives don't make up the majority of the electorate. If the GOP can't appeal to the critical middle, they're dead, and no conservative third-party is ever going to become dominant in this country.

Of course I agree with this approach. I've seen too many third party candidates (Anderson, Perot, Nader) who just ended up being a joke and hurting the actual cause that people who voted for them supported.

I hate that saying. Vote for the candidate you're behind - they might pull off a victory. That's the whole point of voting. If Jesse Ventura can get elected... maybe your candidate can eh?
