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.
You have yet to answer ANY of them. Post your supposed answer ‘answer’ and prove me wrong.
The original question, an open offer to anyone, was “How can a conservative vote for a liberal without abandoning his conservatism to do so”?
You have NOT answered that question Lake. You, like the former Rogue Yam, ducked it, dodged it, wrote paragraphs answering questions I never asked, but you NEVER answered this question.
And you never will answer it. Because it’s impossible to answer it. A conservative, in voting for a liberal, must put aside everything he believes in to do so. At which point, he is no longer a conservative. Period.
So in short, Ya got nuthin’ Lake. All you have is DU style ‘logic’ to back your position. Buckley’s choice assumed one of the two had some conservatism in them. SHOW ME where Romney has ANY conservatism. He denied Reagan flat out and very publicly. He himself said his ‘R’ was anything but solid. So again, you got nuthin’.
So all the FFs who refused to abandon principle under far more extreme circumstances were just whiny cry babies? Got it. Shows what you really think.
