Sometimes, the conservative position is to vote against a party that has become a wholy owned subsidary of the marxists.

...by electing those self same marxists into greater numbers in the opposing party- You know the party that is supposed to stand against the marxists.

I cannot see the logic in your thinking.

I cannot see the logic in your thinking.

In the primary, I vote against Marxists, liars, RINOs, same as I suppose you do. And I vote for conservatives who respect our Constitution, same as I suppose you do. The primary ballot offers me a choice of several candidates for the Republican presidential nominee, more than one of whom would be fine Presidents in my view.

In the general election, the ballot doesn't have anything on it about which Republican candidate I'd prefer. It just has a choice of the Republican or the Democrat. In this particular election, of 2008, I already know enough to see that whomever will be the Democrat candidate (Hillary, Obama or Edwards) will be worse than any of the Republican candidates. So I know I will vote Republican in the general election.

In the general election in particular, I always vote as if the election were so close that it happened to be my vote that decided it. I'd have trouble sleeping at night if it ever turned out that Hillary gained the office of President because I was busy making some "statement" that the other guy was an unacceptable RINO .. for any of the RINO's, liars, and fools currently on the Republican ballot. Some of those so called Republicans suck pretty bad, but none nearly as bad as Hillary or Obama.

Pretty straight forward logic, don't you think?

It's not always this way; if say we put up McCain on the Republican ticket, against Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller on the Democrat ticket, I'd have to give serious consideration to voting Democrat. Better an honest liberal of stable temperment than a lying liberal with a rage issue.
