[P-40]

Your belligerent insistance on your way or no way becomes in the end evil.

I've yet to hear anyone say anything remotely like that. Some of us just don't want the Republican Party to become the Democratic Party...and vice versa. Dissension leads to strength, blind voting to weakness.

.....Dissension leads to strength, blind voting to weakness......

I fully agree that dessention, even strong dessention is necessary. That is why we have primaries. The primaries allows dissention and an airing of all views.

Moderation for moderation's sake serves no good purpose. However to dispense with the primary elected candidate because he lacks some sort of purity will assure disaster and the election of someone who is truly bad.

I can blame you and the others showing this attitude for the election of Bill Clinton. Ross Perot appealed to just enough purists to cause Clinton to be elected.

The next time you throw away a vote on a nonelectable candidate or don't vote because of principle.... think of Bill Clinton.
