This I've never understood. I stand behind the candidate who I know will represent my views. That was the original intent. This party voting of follow the crowd or you're not as good as we are is childish. I should vote for someone I don't believe in because why again? The 'other guy' gets in? What the hell kind of reasoning for voting is that?!?
Tell you what, you keep voting for the 'lesser of two evils' and I'll vote my conscience. I may not get as many politicians elected my way but the ones that are I know will represent my views. Watching Tweedledum and Tweedledumber every year act as if they have vast differences is getting boring.
Jonah Goldberg was right. It's disconcerting that the one man whose views represent conservatism is ridiculed while the 'mainstream' marches by on the path to socialism.

Agree and it explains why the three most conservative voices are low in the polls, Tancredo, Hunter and Dr Paul.
