Because if they find a way to win without you, you're going to be burnt toast politically.

We must win elections at all costs.

I say we appeal to the right-handed people of the US. Put the left-handers on notice that they can expect a 80% income tax to fund entitlements to all the right-handed people.

We must motivate the right-handers to vote for our candidate. They are a majority, after all.

We must win elections at all costs.

Two short years ago, I would actually have made that statement, and believed it.

I'm too old and I've been burnt to many times. If a politician won't stand up for principles, I won't stand up for the politician.

I've had my name removed from the RNC and the RPV (Republican Party of Virginia) mailing lists.

I'll still vote for GOP candidates (George Allen will always get my vote). But I won't ever again be considered one of the "party faithful."
