Back to discussing strategy and the issue at hand.... In a lot of races, you don't have a conservative third party choice. Let's say, for example, you have a close race where you have a very liberal democrat and a 'moderate'(sic) conservative.

The Liberal Democrat stands against everything you believe, such as they are anti-gun rights, pro-abortion, anti-miltiary, etc.

The 'Moderate' Republican, on the other hand, is pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-military..... but.... they supported the McCain/Kennedy immigration(sic) bill.

Would you vote to continue the progress on the issues you believe in spite of the candidates view on the one issue (illegal immigration) or would you risk giving up all the other issues 'to teach a lesson' on that one issue?

This is the quandary many of us face, and why I choose to vote strategically in the general election and focus only on teaching a lesson in the primaries and through my pocketbook in who I fund.

Can you provide us with a list of pro life, pro gun, pro military Republican 'moderates'?

There may be some, but I've never seen a 'moderate' (RINO) be strong in those three areas. They usually claim their 'moderate' status by agreeing with us on some minor issues, not the biggies.

The answer is to vote for a more conservative republican in the PRIMARY. Duh.
