.... divided we fall.

Why should I join with and support folks who believe in privileging pragmatism over principle, essentially selling their souls to save their skins? Either you know who you are and what you believe in, and you stand firm, come what may, or you are just a fair-weather fool and a follower.

The responsibility for governance requires more than simple charisma. It requires a capacity for leadership, grounded in a set of core principles, a willingness to stand one's ground, unflinchingly, against the opposition even when the odds are not in one's favor, and a certain trust and faith in one's Creator that ultimately, good will prevail over evil.

That’s nice in theory....in theory I agree. But we didn’t have the choice of Ronald Reagan v BO...and no one else but McCain ever had a chance at beating BO.

I once threw away a vote for Ross Perot and we got Clinton. Never again.

Lots of votes were thrown away and now we have what is probably the worst president this country will ever see. NOT worth it.

Your position reminds me of those who say they’d rather see the country get nuked than waterboard a terrorist.
