I’ll tell you what it says, it says that in a contest between their conservative principles and the continued survival of America, principles always come first.

That will make a fine epitaph on our Nation’s tombstone after 0bama finishes the job he started in January 2008.

Another fine FReeper said back in the beginning of this thread, “survival trumps ideology” but apparently not for those who have a death wish.

it also infers that those you named in your post—Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Paul Ryan— have no principles, since they are supporting this ticket as the country’s only means of survival.

——principles always come first.——

There is another possible take. That is pride.

The restatement is that pride in principle always comes in first. The pride trumps reason to the point it can not be transcended without total loss of face.

The inability to overcome pride in belief transcends the threat, the major genuine threat to being conservative and of America that is Obama.

Without Mitt Romney to protect us, our nation will die?!

Let me make a prediction. After Romney is rejected in November, we will have another election in 2016 and that, too, will be the most important election in your lifetime. Let's hope that you can find a suitable and worthy candidate to vote for in 2016.
