“Me? Once again I have compromised my principles. Screw it. It ain’t the first time for me.

How about YOU?”

Really?! Okay, here are the choices I’ve had for President since I became eligible to vote:

Bush v Dukakis
Bush v Clinton v Perot
Dole v Clinton v Perot
Bush v Gore
Bush v Kerry
McCain v Obama
Romney v Obama

I missed my chance to vote for Reagan by 2 years. Everyone in their mid 40s and younger has never had the opportunity to vote for a real conservative for President.

I’ve voted for the more conservative man each time. Call it comprimising principles, but imagine what the country would be like if Obama had “inherited” it from Dukakis, Clinton, Gore and Kerry rather than Bush, Clinton and Bush.

That’s kida my whole point. The reason that you have had these choices is precisely because the conservative voters fall right in line with the RINOS and vote Republican no matter who the nominee is.

Every single one of these years we have had good, conservative canidates and they always cannibalize each others votes and the RINO wins the nomination. We especially, I think, had several great conservative choices this year. Not perfect...but better than what we got.

I sure don’t know the answer. After I voted for McCain I felt like I had betrayed my principles. And I said “never again”. Well here it is 4 years later and once again here I am.

What’s the definition of insanity?
