"He's not a liberal, he's running as an R "
If Rudy wins the nomination it's not my fault for not voting for him.
It's the RINOs fault for seeing politics as team sports, rather than voting for principle.
Or course if one has no principles...
I will never vote against individual liberty!
Playing for the team is an important concept here.
As a sophomore on my HS varsity FB team (35+ years ago), I thought I was a much better QB than the lead-footed, noodle-armed incumbent. I was very unhappy that the coaches preferred the incumbent because of his leadership skills. (He was a senior). However, they convinced me to play halfback and strong safety (we played both ways in those days) for the good of the team.
Despite my unhappiness, I tried to be the best halfback, kick returner, and safety that I could be for the sake of the team. I was only one of many contributors to our first league championship in 20+ years. When I look back, I realize that winning was the best experience I could have had. I may have been the better quarterback, but he was the better leader and he had the confidence of the team and the coaches.
Now go forward, grasshopper.
