How would I know that: Acting on principles requires serious consideration of the results of one’s action?

I think that's self-evident. Do you disagree?

Problem is I'm not granting you high moral ground just because you claim it - while acting in a manner that does not seriously consider the result of such actions.

If you had principle you would have opposed who seems to be your main opponent in the primary - where defeating him could, possibly, have actually done some good other than helping Obama. That would have been principled and courageous and require actual political skills to build a successful campaign.

Something more than this internet self-gratification.

It's not principled at all to do so, and I'm certainly not going to support your personal party in some act of self perceived self-righteous suicide that only furthers the power of the current. No thanks.

Wow. That’s classic Romney Republican sophistry.

Translated, what you’re saying is, “Being unprincipled is principled and being principled is unprincipled.”

Thanks for coming on here and illustrating my points so thoroughly Greatly appreciated.
