If anyone is misleading conservatives, it is the third party types. I threw my lot in with the GOP with my eyes wide open, knowing things might not go as fast or as well as I would like, but they offered the best chance.

The third-party types have only helped elect Democrats in at least THREE Senate races (Virginia 1994, Nevada 1998, Washington State 2000). YOU are the one who is misled, not me. You are the one being lured away, and allowing the left to defeat the conservative agenda in detail, because you allow perfect to be the enemy of good enough.

I, for one, have had enough of that. I'm taking a stand. I'm sorry if you take it the wrong way, but I've got to call it as I see it. And I see third-party conservatives as being objectively pro-Left, since I have seen a lot of conservatives DEFEATED because third parties drew away just enough support to put Dems in place.

Well, I DO like your fighting spirit, even though obviously we don't see eye to eye on tactics.
