If all the conservatives quit voting gop, and voted dem instead, it would gut the party and it would die the ignoble death of a Whig.
Giles, your reasoning is as fallible as your math.
If all the conservatives voted Dem, IT WOULD MAKE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND LIBERALISM STRONGER. Period!
You may intend for it to hurt the GOP and indeed it would hurt the GOP, but so what? Again, you're engaging in the fallacy that you can vote "against" the GOP. That function of a vote is imaginary and based in emotional perception; the REALTY is that the only thing you EVER get to do with a vote, is to use it to vote FOR something.
How about being HONEST for a change just vote FOR a candidate who if elected will do what you WANT, even if you know he will probably lose because he isn't affiliated with the Republican or Democrat parties?
That is the HONEST way to do it. What is with all this deception of voting FOR what you despise with expectations that it will somehow "trick" good into happening?
