Sigh...can anybody else out there help me explain my position? Namely, that I believe in supporting those who I feel are best qualified to defend the country, and to me that means supporting those who can A: do the job and B: actually get themselves elected. And yes, there are far-right social conservatives who don't get that basing their decisions on who to vote for soley on the basis of ideology can make them just as bad as the moonbats on the left. There's a reason Pat Buchanan didn't get the 1996 Republican nomination, after all.
I know that there are problems in the party. But I would still rather support Guliani over John "I'm still whining because I lost the 2000 primary" McCain, and certainly over Her Hillariness.
For me, as I've already said, it's a matter of conservatives being unifed as a group during this critical time. We need to show that we have real tolerance for our moderates, not just give it lip service like the Libs do.
