The whole point of “principle” is that you don’t fall in line, but rather you stand on principle.
You can’t change principle to now mean to fall in line. That is stupid.
This is not to “Deo et Patria”, just a general comment.
What about the principle that a refusal to vote for McCain means you are supporting the election of Hillary or Obama, and surrendering to Al Qaeda in the war on terror?
Is your pride more important to you than your country?
I can’t stand McCain, but I will hold my nose and vote for him.
