As is your recent wont, you again refuse to answer a simple question.
Lake, I understand your inability to address this and my last question. The one about how can a conservative vote for a liberal without abandoning his beliefs and conservatism to do so. But with your last few posts you’ve gone off into DU territory.
If Adams or any of the other FFs didn’t believe in what they said, we’d all be singing God Save the Queen. Fortunately they stood by their principles. That so many modern ‘conservatives’ will not speaks volumes.
Lets try another one. This one is real easy: Lake, do you feel that principle has any meaning or is it just an outdated concept?
How about this one: If the collective ‘we’ can just cast off our principles for Romney, would we be equally wrong to cast them off and vote for Bill Ayres if the GOP ran him as a candidate in 2016? Why?
Or how about...: If principles do not matter, would you cast them aside to allow 50 YO men to have sex with pre-18 yo girls? No? Why then are ‘some’ principles OK and not others?
Lake, logic and reason tell us that there are absolutes in this world. It just comes down to which point of logic and reason one chooses to ignore. To vote Romney, one must pretend that his documented record does not exist or that it is some liberal plot to discredit a ‘severely conservative’ candidate.
Now in your posts you have acknowledged that Romney is in fact, a liberal. You have also said that you are fully willing to cast your vote for that liberal. By doing so, you give him and everything he stands for, the power and authority to carry out that liberalism on the country.
We have determined through his record that he is pro abortion, pro homosexual, pro gun control and anti-many of the things that make or ‘made’ America what it is.
Logically, if one empowers a person whose documented actions are Anti-constitution and by extension, Anti-American, the person doing the empowering is supportive of that agenda. There is no way around that Lake. You can revert to your Count of Sesame Street routine, holler to high heaven and dance a jig. But logically, reasonably and factually, that’s what you are doing.
200 years from now, assuming humanity still roams the planet after one of the two liberal titans gets done with it, the scenario of ‘conservatives supporting Romney’ will look every bit as bizzare to historians of that era as the actions of the German population circa 1930ish does to us today.
And you are choosing freely to be on that side of history.
I answered your stupid question weeks ago with another poster.
It's called the Buckley rule, you might look it up again, but I guess that's not your wont.....:-)
Principles do matter. If you let Bambi have four more years by throwing away your vote, then he will finish the country off.
It's simple, you vote Bambi out, or you let him win and destroy everything you love, which means you'll no longer have principles to live for.
Very simple. Your choice. Act like a whiny baby, pretend to be pure, let him destroy you and everything you stand for, or hold your nose and vote for the only other one who can win and help rid the nation of the one who would destroy it.
