I hope that when the campaign is officially “on” that folks here will vote for the nominee,whoever it is.I don't have *much* hope however.For some absolute purity is more important than pragmatism.

I hope that a Republican victory doesn’t ride on the Freeper vote.

Explain to us how you make a pragmatic choice between two dyed-in-the-wool liberals?

No, principles are more important than pragmatism. Once you sacrifice your principles for pragmatism, what else will you sacrifice? I recall the history of the Whig Party; hey, they were pragmatic. Would you have been pragmatic in accepting the Fugitive Slave Act in the Compromise of 1850? After all, it avoided civil war between the north and south! Oh, wait...

Voting for Virgil Goode over Romney. But to each their own. Some have a hard time realizing Romney is the brain child of years of hard work by the left to infiltrate the GOP.
