I won’t contribute to a party split by losing sight of the ultimate goal which is to keep Mrs. Bill Clinton out of the Oval Office. And I WILL NOT SLAP THE FACES of those who fought, sacrified, suffered and died to give me the opportunity to vote by throwing that vote away on a write-in or not voting at all.

I understand your position. I think it's a sad day when our goal is to keep someone elese out of the White House, rather than putting someone in. Secondly, I don't think that people who post on FreeRepublic are really the ones (for the most partt) who need to be addressed in the manner which you are speaking. We're all pretty engaged in the political process. It's those who are on the fringe of the political process and our ability or inability to motivate them that there's something worthwhile of their involvment which will determine turnout. (runon sentence, but you know what I mean)

Oh really?? You mean those “if my candidate (fill in the blank) isn’t nominated I’ll stay home and rest of my “principles” kind of posters??

I’ll call them out every single time for the nose-cutting baby/bath-water throwers they are.
