Politicians have to EARN my vote. They are not granted a right to it by the letter next to their name.

In the mean time, we get a Clinton/Obama administration for 8 years.

I agree in primaries, and to a lesser extent other races (local election certainly, house and senate its sometimes worth it (chaffee) but usually not)

But after the primaries, in the national presidential election... thats where I'm saying I'd expect people to have a bit of perspective and not be so selfish.

Listen, I hate, and I mean HATE McStain... but if he somehow miraculously won the primary, you better believe I'd vote for him.

It comes down to comparing two thing you "don't want" if you are anti-Rudy.

Would you rather vote for a guy that has liberal beliefs on some things and conservative believes on others and get him in?
Or would you rather vote for a 3rd party guy that doesn't have a chance, make your "point", but end up getting a lib on all issues in office?

Right now I'm hearing that there are an awful lot of people who would rather pat themselves on the back (ignoring the consequences), and delude themselves into thinking they are actually advancing the conservative cause.

(P.S. I'd ask 'those people' if they've heard the media and dems talking about how "the people spoke" in November. Did they 'infer' your message when they describe "what the people said"? I didn't think so)
