My vote on principle means that I refuse the accept the quasi-socialist status quo that Rudy-toots is pushing, and the subsequent demise of the GOP.

And what exactly will your vote on principle accomplish? Do you really think Republicans will want anything to do with those that acted like petulant children and allowed Hillary to win? I am one Republican that will have nothing to do with them if it happens.

Do you really think Republicans will want anything to do with those that acted like petulant children and allowed Hillary to win?

The Republicans haven't wanted anything to do with Conservatives, who you term as petulant children, for many years.

I am one Republican that will have nothing to do with them if it happens.

Then you will have nothing to do with Conservatives. It only illustrates the fact the GOP is becoming increasingly socialist and therefore aligning itself with the socialist Democrats. In the end you will have the very type of person in the White House you oppose.

You will not be deciding things. If the GOP sees that they can't win without the values voters, they will do what they did in 1994, shift their policies to attract the disaffected voters. It is not like they have ny principles to stop them from doing this. If you don't like it, you can go start a new party in 2010.
