I am a conservative who is a registered member of the Republican Party. As long as I am a member of that party I will vote for the candidate the party chooses to represent us in the general election. If we refuse to vote for any candidate who does not meet our conservative litmus test then we should get out and either reregister as an Independent or form a "Conservative Party".

The Republican Party has always been made up of conservative, moderate, populist and liberal factions. The struggle for control by one group or another has been ongoing since the 1800's. In fact, I like the wide range of choices in candidates we have this year. Every faction of the party is represented which leads to healthy debate which is alot more than can be said for the cookie-cutter candidates put up by the Democrats.

If Fred Thompson, for instance, would be nominated would we conservatives appreciate it if the moderate and liberal wing would sit out the election because their candidate didn't win? Would conservatives have been OK with the moderates snubbing Reagan in 1980 and voting for John Anderson? Hardly.

The primary objective in this election, I believe, is to keep the radical wing of the Democrat Party (is there any other?) from gaining control of the White House and doing harm to our country through their social and economic experimentation. To do this we must support and vote for the candidate chosen by our party no matter whether we are 100% behind them or 30%. It is dangerous and even fool-hardy to do otherwise.
