Then I suggest that you vote for them... at least you'd feel good about your convictions.
I see a big difference on national security, understanding the threat of the islamo-fascist, using the Patriot Act to protect us, not pandering race politics, and executive leadership!
What is this 'my own party foist on me'? Where is the conservative candidate (that most of us want) who has raised themselves to a viable national position at this date? I don't see one out there, so we need to play the cards we're dealt... or just fold and slink away.
Very well stated!
Duncan Hunter is the candidate I most agree with on the issues important to me. So, I'll be supporting Duncan and doing what I can to raise "national position" locally. If you also find yourself agreeing with Hunter on the issues more than the other candidates I'd suggest you do the same.
I am reminded of Ronald Reagans run against Gerald Ford in the primary, the resultant win by Gerald Ford after the dismissal of Reagan and Justice John Paul Stephens.
