I do understand Badray's motivation though...I'm just not that far along where I would use my own vote in that manner.
Badray, it just seems to me like your plan is parlimientary maneuvering. It is a good plan and I sense that you are concerned with the long term fate of the GOP, which is good since most politicians, pundits and media are focused on the sound bite and short term fix for problems that require a real long term soultion.
Yet, I think we have to put off the Conservative backlash for now. I know I sound like a wimp and a BUsh-Bot but can't we wait until after the election to start the civil war withi the GOP?
