It's not a secret anymore. Hoping a Democrat wins the general election pretty much wipes out an pretense of caring about conservative causes.

Hoping a liberal Republican win also wipes out any pretense of caring about conservative causes.

There's no difference between Specter and Hoeffel, other than in personalities whereas Hoeffel isn't your typical smarmy, arrogant liberal.

Wrong. There are varying degrees of liberal and conservative thought in the Republican party.
We see the debates on this board all the time.

However one who supports a less than conservative Republican can at least say that he is still supporting the party that leans conservative staying in power.

Anyone who says they would prefer a Democrat win cannot even pretend to care about conservative causes.
