I will match my conservatism against yours anyday. If you support anyone in the race now you, my friend, are not a conservative but an appeaser. Just ask some Germans from WW2 what happen if you just go along to get along. You are just as guilty of the wreck as if you were driving.

Good day!
Right again, Resolute! Avacado, Resolute is correct, and I know this because I already took the path you now recommend. I took it California with Arnold Schwarzenegger over McClintock and then Cruz Bustamonte, and it was a hard lesson. Sadly, it is one that has soared over the heads of Republicans like you. Maybe you're just young and need another decade or two to figure things out. I used to think like you ... I finally wised up. When are you going to wise up and do the HARD right thing, instead of the easy middle-of-the-road long-term wrong thing that looks right but more importantly, makes you feel good? Just as it made me feel good to vote for Arnold instead of "letting" Bustamonte win?
If I had it to do over again, I'd let Bustamonte win; short term would have been very painful, long term would have been unpleasant but good medicine for the health of the Republican party. Instead, I fell for the fallacies you fall for now, and ended up hurting Republicans far more than if I'd voted out of confident principle instead of FEAR-based compromise.
