I admire your passion. If I could wave a magic wand, Duncan Hunter would be our next president. But I'm a pragmatist.
"Pragmatist" is another way of saying, "I'm willing to sell-out my principles to help someone who doesn't share my principles to win." Personally, I don't see how that's pragmatic at all. It strikes me as frighteningly stupid--the words of someone who's holding the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
You would be foolish to throw your vote away once the Republican candidate is selected. Otherwise, you'll be helping the Dems gain control of the oval office. Any of the first tier candidates would be preferable to a Dem.
Really? So it would be better to elect a Republican who's going to act like a Democrat than the genuine article? LOL. After 8 years of Christie Whitman in NJ, I know what happens when conservatives help a liberal Republican get elected. They effectively hand their party over to liberals and put themselves on the political sidelines FOREVER.
No thanks. I don't vote for liberals, regardless of what party they're running for. If you're willing to vote for a liberal Republican out of fear of getting something "worse" in the Democrat, you are contributing to the New Jersification of the national GOP.
Enjoy the results.
