"I'll be more than happy to support a conservative when one is eventually lofted for us to support again."
Then you said this:
"I didn't say I wouldn't help get him lofted."
What then did you mean by "WHEN ONE IS LOFTED FOR US"?
"Luis, you don't know what I do or don't do."
Hell Ron, YOU don't know what YOU are saying, or NOT saying anymore, let alone what you're doing.

In post 128 I said: "I didn't say I wouldn't help get him lofted, I just said I wouldn't until one was lofted. I can work for a guy, but if he isn't the nominee that doesn't mean I'm going to vote for the DimPublican anyway."
Was that too complex for you? Let me help...
1. There are generally a variety of Republican candidates at the end of second term Republican administration, or each Democrat term end.
2. I can chose to support one of them, but if they aren't the annointed candidate by party leadership they'll generally not be the nominee.
3. In 1996 the RP leadership actually fielded folks on the Sunday morning talk shows to call Pat Buchanan "the next Hitler", "Hitleresque" or "if not Hitler, walking right up to the line", after he won the New Hampshire primary that year.
4. If as in 1996, someone other than my candidate becomes the nominee, I didn't help loft him. I didn't loft Dole.
If you were a guy that was intimately as involved in the political process as you claim to be, I would think you wouldn't have to have this expained to you in detail.
