Shameful? No, it is called having the courage of your convictions. What, you think we should vote for a man that is not conservative and doesn't hold by the principles we believe in simply because he is registered republican? Of course it is my way or the highway when it comes to freedom. Compromising on freedom means giving it up. I refuse to vote for a man who suberted the first amendment and would love to do away with the rest of the bill of rights.
I'll vote for the person who meets my standards and beliefs, if no candidates are on the ballot who meet that criteria then I will write in a name.
